Appearances
Series 94
Carroll kicked off with a very convincing win against Ellen; Owen logged the then-highest score of the series with 134, in no small part with thanks to the nine-letter word spots of RELOADING and FOUNTAINS and then unscrambling the difficult conundrum of ATEARLOBE. He logged three more wins with two further centuries before his run was brought to an abrupt end by returnee, Jamie. Regardless, he finished on an impressive 549 points from only five appearances to currently take the sixth seed position. Time will tell if that is enough to qualify for the series finals.
ZoomDown
Three months before his TV debut, Carroll was a contestant in ZoomDown Series 6. He played against Mike Lee in the Round of 64 stage of the tournament, losing the game with a respectable score of 103 to Mike's 118.
