A grand slam winner is a player who wins all his or her possible games of Countdown unbeaten. To become a grand slam winner, one must go undefeated in the heats, then win his or her series (becoming a xicount), and finally become the Champion of Champions.
To date, there have been five grand slam winners:
- Harvey Freeman won Episodes 459 through 466, the Series 10 finals, and Championship of Champions III. He also won the Supreme Championship unbeaten, meaning that he could be considered the supreme grand slam winner of all time.
- Nic Brown won Episodes 658 through 665, the Series 14 finals, and Championship of Champions IV.
- Don Reid won Episodes 1361 through 1368, the Series 25 finals, and Championship of Champions VII. However, he did lose to John Clarke in the Supreme Championship.
- Scott Mearns won Episodes 2553 through 2560, the Series 41 finals, and Championship of Champions X, however he lost in a special. Make your own mind up whether he is a Grand Slammer or not.
- Graham Nash won Episodes 2813 through 2820, the Series 43 finals, and Championship of Champions XI.
A grand slam winner is typically the #1 seed for his or her series. The only exception is Graham Nash, who was #2 seed behind David Williams.
