They had a straight up retard on Countdown today. He had the arm and head movements and he was difficult to understand. That's not right.

So I thought, "Well, maybe he's some kind of savante". No. He got completely destroyed. Even I beat him.

For example, he had a four in a words round. He got a lot of fours. His four in this particular round was "late". My word was "plate", which was hardly impressive, but he couldn't even get "plate" when he already had "late".

I assumed Twitter must have been blowing up because of this guy. But no. Only six Tweets. So there must not be many people watching this shit any more.

The Tweets were all condeming the guy who won. But there's no good way out of this. You either curb stomp a retard or you lose to a retard.

So it shouldn't happen. It taints this non-retard's potential achievements. "Yeah, you're an octo-champ but one of your opponents had a sub-50 IQ".

They might as well have put a chimp there. Or given him a bye. It's absurd.

I just assumed that there was a test to get on this show. Maybe there isn't, though. Let me check.

No. It seems not.

All you do is fill in the application and send a recent picture. It's all about looks and personality, not ability to do well at the game. The application asks for what wacky hobbies you have and shit like this.

I know they're just playing for a teapot but it's disgusting. People take the game seriously but they have legit retards on there. It's all just for ratings.
