    My favourite Richard Countdown moment is still when he realized the final Conundrum wasn't going to score them enough points to win and he just got up to leave the show early instead.

      @@dontcallmegus I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I'm saying I think his feigned disinterest makes him loop back around to being significantly more 'try-hard' than anybody else. It actually makes him appear stupid. All the best panellists on the show all manage to be consistently funny while still playing the game. Why can't he? It's not actually because he doesn't care. That's the act. It's because he does actually care and he's insecure in his character if he fails. He doesn't want to lose so he doesn't play. He does care about the result if he were to play genuinely, so he doesn't. It's insecure.
