[Don’t forget we are playing cards Sunday at 8pm, do join us.<\/a>]<\/p>\n

So as it’s rather quiet we thought we’d take a brief look at one of the shows bought up in the recent Poll of 2012 results in the International category.<\/p>\n

This is Opdenh\u00f6vel’s Countdown<\/strong>, a show broadcast on the German first channel in 2012. In it, four contestants play\u00a0up to ten\u00a0games (of the mental and physical kind)\u00a0designed either to build up the jackpot as a team or\u00a0knock out\u00a0the weakest competitor until one person remains to try and take the lot. The binding theme is that each game is against the clock.<\/p>\n

It is hosted by Matthias Opdenh\u00f6vel who long term readers will recognise as the long time ex-host of Schlag den Raab<\/strong> and more recently one of the judges on Die Kl\u00fcgste Deutsche. <\/strong>Unfortunately this show was not very successful, only three episodes were made, although there is talk of bringing it back under a different guise.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately we can’t find a full episode, but there are some clips on Youtube<\/a>. Here’s a clip of one of the more physical games:<\/p>\n
