Jonathan Rawlinson

Jonathan Rawlinson was an octochamp and runner-up of Series 66, and was a semi-finalist in the 30th Birthday Championship.

Rawlinson was the sixth contestant in recorded history to solve all 8 conundrums in their heat games, after Harvey Freeman, David Williams, Julian Fell, Kai Laddiman and Daniel Pati.

He also became only the fourth person in the show's history, after Gareth Williams, James Martin and Bhavin Manek, to win the last 8 preliminaries of the series and return the following day as the #1 seed for the series finals.

He made his Co-event debut at COHUD in 2012, which was then followed up by an appearance at CobliviLon.

He returned to Countdown a year later, as one of 41 contestants taking part in the 30th Birthday Championship. He won his first match against the previously undefeated champion of Series 64, Ed McCullagh after beating him on a second conundrum by a score of 104 – 94, then he beat Series 61 runner-up Andrew Hulme on a crucial conumdrum in round 1, and beat Series 63 quarter-finalist Tom Rowell in round 2. He then defeated the Series 60 semi-finalist Neil Zussman in the quarter-finals, dropping just 1 solitary point in the process. He then played Series 63 champion Jack Hurst in a fantastic semi-final battle, which remained level for the first 10 rounds, before Rawlinson took a 6 point lead, which became a 1 point deficit a round later, before Hurst nicked in with the conundrum STRONTIUM after 3 seconds to win by a score of 116 – 105.
