All discussion relevant to Countdown that is not too spoilerific. New members: come here first to introduce yourself. We don't bite, or at least rarely.
I have a vague memory of hearing that you can go back on Countdown as a contestant if it's at least 10 years after your prior appearance.
Been stranded on an island for nearly a decade but might return to the motherland next year and this is literally the only possible enjoyable thing I can envisage doing while there.
If I suddenly have a squirming baby on my lap it probably means that I should start paying it some attention and stop wasting my time messing around on a Countdown forum
With it being you, I doubt you're serious anyway, but there's no precedent for letting a CoC contestant back is there?
I believe the official rule is no, but then again there are several returnees in recent years, so much so that it has de facto become such a rule. I would personally leave at least 15-20 years between appearances, and I am very surprised Zarte was allowed back on.
There will probably be a bigger surprise if I get back on for a third time..., but the precedent has been set, so nothing can be ruled out nowadays, I guess...
I still assume that that was an accident, so I'd say there's no precedent yet. And you're too loud to be an accident.
How do you find out if you can go back on? Do you passively wait for Damian to tell you, constantly pester him, constantly send in new application forms or what?
When I did it the first time, I was expecting it to be rejected/hear nothing more from it, so to be told I had an audition was great, even though the person who did my audition only knew of my past experience when I told her at the audition...
well I wouldn't say no! But I would be a big hypocrite, because I do think once you've made a finals that's your series on the show, shouldn't need a do-over. Would love to be on for a special if that ever came up, maybe we should have a fake wedding and get invited back ala Ryan/Michelle?
It's real. Would be great to see you back on there and I can't see a reason for you to be turned down. Go for it.
