Charlie Reams, known not infrequently as Soo is a contestant from series 59. Reams is one of the most important characters in the Countdown online community. He created The Countdown Database which replaced the Countdown Corral after being asked to make a list of all the nines in the current Series. The site quickly grew and now includes round details from over 1000 games and statistics about players, Series and Octochamps. Soo also runs this site and is the head moderator on the C4countdown online forum.
Before appearing on Countdown in 2008, he went to in COLIN in 2005, 2006 and 2008, winning the prize for the highest placed player never to have appeared on the show in 2008. He made his debut on the televised show on 15th October 2008 scoring 114, the highest debut score of the series. His next game against Darren Edwards was one of the great thrashings of all time, with Reams winning by 95. Only Julian Fell and David O'Donnell have won a game by a larger margin. After slipping to 92 in his next game, he scored over 100 in three of his next four games, before a dramatic 8th game. Reams trailed from the start but managed to take a slim lead in round 11 with BEASTIE and then scored 7 points on a difficult final numbers game to go into the conundrum leading 63 - 52. He got the conundrum and completed his run with 73, his final total was 820 points.
When questioned on the show about his hobbies, he admitted that he reads the dictionary for fun (joking that you can ignore words over 9 letters) and also loves cheese... which he said is "fortunate because both can be pursued simultaneously from the comfort of your own armchair".
