I really hope this doesn't mean the end of Countdown, I love it to fucking bits. Down to Earth show where intelligent people compete for pride and a Teapot, so much better than Deal or No fucking Deal where idiots fluke their way to big money.

Or bras with a little pocket that perfectly fits a CV-branded mini calculator.

 

They should just stop Countdown now.

Rumors are Carol demanded a pay increase and she was "forced" to quit once Channel 4 refused it. She denies this.

ok i'ma help you here:

every time you post a news story i think your adoring public should also be granted the following information from you:

a. your opinion on the news story

b. a reason for your opinion

c. a final thought or question for people who eagerly post in your wonderful threads after you.

 

it'll be like the end of a jerry springer episode every time.

copy.

paste.

learn.

:smile:

It's OK, you can still see her on adverts. As she's good with numbers you can trust her when she tells you that you should take out a loan you'll be paying off well into your 90s and she scribbles some sums down on a piece of paper while toughtfully chewing a piece of toast which somehow proves that this particular spread really does lower cholesterol.

She really has had her emotion drained out of her in the most recent first plus advert.

There's a link here to spelling out boobies on the calculator... but I just can't seem to sort it out. Someone help?

Countdown could be presented by a computer now, I guess. It's not like the presenters do much a PC couldn't.

 

Countdown, with your host Countbot 6000!

I can honestly say I don't like Carol Vorderman...she lent her face to practically every credit card/equity/loan advert there was at one point; adverts made for the purpose of causing more people to spend what they didn't have and get into debt.

 

Smacks of money-grabbing cow to be honest.

That'd be awesome.

 

"What did you get Countbot 6000?"

 

"Sex lul lul lul"

 

"Anonymous again..."

I was reading the Sunday Mirror (don't ask) and it says she claims that they wanted to cut her salary by 90% (from £1.5m to £150k) "forcing" her to step down.

I read that somewhere yesterday I think. A take it or leave it thing. She gave them the finger it seems. But she's hidden behind the excuse that she can't bear the pain of getting to know a new host.

I don't blame her for leaving, a 90% pay cut is ridiculous no matter your salary.
