Watching Countdown atm and if it wasn’t for Rachel Riley ( currently pregnant again) and Susie Dent it wouldn’t be worth watching. Who the hell thought Ann Robinson was a good host for this programme??
She looks like Where’s Wallys Granny! |

"They should sack her. Women over 30 shouldn't be allowed to have TV jobs. Get her a job in an office."
And don't subject these poor men to her hideous sight |

"What's bad about her hosting as opposed to how she looks?
Wooden, no emotional, minimal speech and just awful. "
But your reference of her in the op (and in fact of all 3 women) mentions nothing about presenting skills nor expertise in numbers/words. Only bringing up about Anne's looks. |

Yeah I don't get why she got the gig either other than they just wanted a woman.
The previous two were not amazing I actually thought they were just about passable. But she's dire.
It's like she interrogates the people on it rather than having a chat with them. Richard just came across like everyone on the show was a personal friend of his. As if they were playing countdown anyway and someone turned up to film it.
This is the problem with giving famous people hosting jobs. The people who would make great hosts and then become a celeb never got a shot

That's not strictly true. In fact there's not an ounce of truth there.
Anne Robinson was a much respected journalist and has been a t.v. host on several quiz shows the most well known being 15 to 1.........
I can't deny that she comes across as ..........
It'll come to me cos I am trying to be kind. |

Sandi Toksvig did 15 to one and is an excellent host. Anne did the weakest link and was terrible on that too. |

Strange comment? Is this satirical, for an objecting comment or response such as mine?

She was brilliant on weakest link.
You are right about 15 to 1....... |

Think you'd find that that post was an attempt to get the male experience first hand.
It wasn't a strongly held belief. |

She's terrible. Although no one beats Richard Whitely... They should have got Carol Vorderman back as host |

That northern Irish lad was brilliant when he stood in for Nick a few months ago but he’s probably too busy with his other stuff to get bogged down with countdown |

Looks aside, there hasn't been a good Countdown host in year imo. Nick Hewer was especially dire.
I agree that if it weren't for Rachel and Susie I would stop watching - I just find Susie's Origin of Words too damn interesting  |

"Let Victoria Coren host it. Very clever, sometimes funny, ENORMOUS boobs. "
Victoria is painfully UNfunny ....... in fact I cringe.
Have you seen her on Taskmaster? Fish out of water, totally lost and without personality........ well ..... she has the personality of frozen cod. |

I have a crush on Joe Wilkinson from 8 out of 9 cats. Something about his suits and cans of white lighting that do it for me. I'd go halves on a kebab at a bus stop with him anyway. |

I have never seen the "proper" Countdown. I couldn't even begin to watch it after seeing the 8 out of 10 cats version!
I am not really a fan of Jimmy Carr, but he is acceptable on this (that stupid laugh!) But the delightful Suzi Dent and Rachel Riley, plus John Richardson and Sean Lock, brilliant! Naughty eye candy and very funny people. |

Sean Lock RIP. Tremendously funny guy. |

I would love to listen to Susie's origins of words but she is so boring i lose the will to live after 5 seconds and if she didn;t always look so stunning and sexy it would be 1 second

Ugh, men. 
I think she’s more than likely criticise “ you are the weakest link … you came”
