-Pearce made his first ''Countdown'' appearance during the latter stages of Series 68 in May 2013. Although the game was close, he was beaten on a crucial [[conundrum]] by would-be [[octochamp]] [[Joe McGonigle]]. Just under a decade later, Pearce returned for a second attempt in Series 87 in April 2023. His second game in the challenger's chair was decided by another crucial conundrum, but this time he unravelled it, and claimed the [[teapot]]. Sporting 3-piece suits during his second run, he then won his next two games with improved scores, before climbing to a personal best of 116 in his 5th win. After a run of 4 [[century|centuries]], he was unseated by [[Pouvanen Pillay]], whose numbers games made the difference. Pearce still attained the highest cumulative total by one of three 6-time winners up to that point, with 680 points. This total was sufficient to see him qualify for the Series 87 finals in June.
