Because they have to feel important about themselves, and the usual way of doing that is to belittle other people. It's human nature.

As I said before, I'm not going to be losing any sleep over it. They talk about Countdown; we talk about the London Underground.

I doubt they say these things with malice, I would imagine friendly banter is at the heart. I would like to see the thread, it could be quite funny.

I'm disappointed by the 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown new mash-ups. The first one was very good, the second one less so, this one... Bleurgh.

This is a great quarter-final... I couldn't call it with just five rounds to play.

When I turned up at the C5 studio in 2004 to appear on Brainteaser, one of the other contestants mentioned he'd been on Countdown.

It wasn't until after he'd knocked me out in the first round that he revealed he was that year's series champion!

Disappointed you didn't give your FNC team a shout-out...
