Anne Robinson on Countdown - Good or Bad?

So far I think she's awful. Maybe she's nervous I don't know, but it looks to me that she has had so much botox, she can barely speak. I find it hard to understand what she says, it's as though she speaks through clenched teeth and in turn, that seems to make her lisp badly.

I hope she gets better, but I'm not a fan with her at the helm.

She says ‘consonant’ fine, but I think ‘Countdown Conundrum’ is a bit of a challenge.

Bad. Very bad. Won't be watching again until she's gone.

Very bad.
They should’ve got Colin Murray back!
I don’t think she’ll last.

I watched for Grace Dent today. She's interesting. I didn't really get a sense of AR's 'Countdown personality' yet, but maybe she'll grow?

Tbh I was never much of a Nick Hewer fan on Countdown. Thought he was much better on the Apprentice.

I've only watched it once as i happened to catch it the other day
i saw her say in an article she wasn't going to be like in The Weakest Link ... but on the one i saw she seemed very much like her persona in The Weakest Link

I'm not keen on her presenting style

I'm not a fan - agree that her speech is really weird, presumably because of all the plastic surgery.

I was also really disappointed that Colin Murray hadn't got the gig permanently - the chemistry between him, Rachel and Susie was wonderful.
