Pauline Huggins
From Countdown
Pauline Huggins was a contestant in Series 57. Before appearing on the show, she had won an edition of The Weakest Link.
During her win in her opening episode, Huggins changed her declaration in one round, here is a transcript:
- Pauline: Seven... not written down.... and it's dodgy
- Carl: Seven, risky as well
- Des: Let's hear the lady's first...
- Pauline: PROMATE
- Des: PRO...?
- Alison: (interjecting enthusiastically, nodding) PRONATE?
- Pauline: PRO....[slight pause].... PRONATE, yes.
- Alison: How are you spelling that?
- Pauline: P-R-O-N-A-T-E
The production team did not initially pick up on this, but invited the player she'd beaten (Carl Dundas) back to Series 58 as a challenger, even though had promate ☓ been disallowed, Dundas would still have mathematically lost before the conundrum.
