I can understand as well while she is doin it, i mean she was on the show for a long time and it was difficult circumstances when she left. but then again if it wasnt for the show then she would have the career that she has got now.

Didn't she leave because of pay? Then it seemed that the show's producers proved that she could be replaced possibly for a fraction of the price?
Even if someone else is helping they still have to come up with them in 30 seconds. Also, quite often dictionary corner is beaten by one of the contestants.Quote:

Strange, I could have sworn he was on it last week. With friends like that....
Was he really?
That is a shame if he felt so passionately to what had happened he would of stayed away from the show.
Carol actually has a third class degree.

I don't believe she's as intelligent as she makes out or that she can do the maths challenge in her head in the allotted time. I'm not saying she did get tips but as the show is filmed in bits then edited, it allows lots of time for her to think of different ways of getting the number.
I think she is intelligent but these recent stories are making her seem bitter towards the programme that launched her into the mainstream
