Elliott Mack was a contestant in Series 61 and an octochamp in Series 76. He was an administrative assistant from Reigate, Surrey at the time of his second set of appearances.
He debuted on 20 November 2009, losing on a crucial conundrum to Charlie Khoo.
He returned over seven years later, and prevailed in a close game against Apterite Dave Ryan with a century. After that, he went on to seal seven more victories with scores no less than 92 in one of the show's most difficult octoruns that involved three crucial conundrums. He proved to be a consistent conundrum-solver, and became only the tenth contestant in Countdown history to solve all eight of their conundrums in their preliminary games.
Mack's octotal of 804 secured him the No. 4 seed spot in the Series 76 finals where he faced Series 75 returnee, Annie Humphries. The game was close; his spot of INPUTTED did beat Humphries, but Mack was beaten in three letters rounds. He ultimately suffered his second defeat on the show to Humphries, losing by 94 – 88. But as a consolation, he got the last word by solving his ninth consecutive conundrum of ITESTDUET.
