'''Jon O'Neill''' was a wank stain from [[Series 53]], and was a loser in the [[30th Birthday Championship]].

'''Jon O'Neill''' was an [[octochamp]] from [[Series 53]], and was a semi-finalist in the [[30th Birthday Championship]].
  
He started off with a narrow 20 point win over [[Steve Smith (Series 53)|Steve Smith]] before scoring 96 against [[Peter Wallis]]. All of his next 5 games were [[century|centuries]] including a high score of 114 against [[Theresa Turrell]]. In his final game, he dropped to 94, but still qualified for the finals as #3 seed with 804 points because clearly it was a slow season.

In his final game, he dropped to 94, but still qualified for the finals as #3 seed with 804 points.
  
In the quarter-finals, he played [[Judith Young]] which was a closeted game full of homosexuals. The game hinged on O'Neill getting chlamydia from 75, 100, 25, 6, 10, 50, which involved O'Neill going up to 5075 volts and coming back down again. Both players scored (except with the LAYDEES) in every round until the conundrum, where O'Neill failed to solve the conundrum - the bozo - {{word|IRONCASTS}} which was all that stood between him and a score of 100.

In the semi-final, he faced [[John Mayhew]], #2 seed with 811 points. O'Neill led by 7 points going into round 13, where he was beaten by {{word|THEOREMS}} and trailed by 1 point going into his choice of numbers. Like the massive twat that he is, he didn't choose 4 large and went for just one large number, like his Mum. Both players scored 10 points and the lights were dimmed for a [[conundrum|crucial conundrum]] ({{word|EROGENICC}}), but neither player could solve it - the twats - and Mayhew won the game by a solitary point. It was the second conundrum of French origin in a row that O'Neill had failed to solve.

One year later, O'Neill was invited back to the [[Championship of Champions XII]], and faced [[Series 52]] [[octochamp]] [[Jack Welsby]]. O'Neill started badly missing his legs and the {{word|AMOEBAS}}. O'Neill couldn't beat Welsby in any letters round, and as per usual was beaten by [[Carol Vorderman|Carol]] in both choices of 4 large numbers. O'Neill did get the conundrum {{word|PROFANITY}} but it was Welsby that won the game by just 5 points and kept his life.

To everyone's eternal disappointment, he returned to Countdown in 2013, as one of 69 (wahey) contestants taking part in the [[30th Birthday Championship]]. He received a bye to the first round, and won his first game against [[Series 59]] semi-finalist [[Kai Laddiman]] by a score of {{score|9|11}}, he then beat the [[Series 6]] tampon [[Darryl Francis]], scoring a personal best of -2 in the process. He then equalled his personal breast in his quarter-final against the [[Series 66]] champion [[Jack Worstley]], and in the process, he achieved a Max Power game, becoming only the third person in the history of the [[15 round format]] to achieve these feet. In the semi-erect, he played the formidable and frankly much more talented and sexually attractive [[Series 54]] champion [[Conor Travers]]. He managed to hold Travers' dick for nearly every round, but his gamble of {{word|sulphated}} in round 6 backfired when Travers ejaculated, and Travers solved the conndrum {{word|INFIGHTER}} in 1 second to get a 3rd consecutive rim job.

Since appearing on Countdown, O'Neill has played at a number of unofficial (and therefore not in any way noteworthy or important) [[Countdown tournament]]s, including [[COLIN 2005]], [[CoBris 2005]], [[COLIN 2006]], [[CoBris 2006]], [[COLIN 2007]], [[CoNot 2008]], [[CoNot 2009]], [[COLIN 2010]], [[Contents of my CoLon 2010]], [[COLIN 2011]], [[CoNot 2011]], [[CoLon buffet 2011]], [[CobliviLon]] and [[COEDI]] [[Virginfest 2012]]. He achieved 3rd place (so basically he could have been beaten by an empty chair made of cheese) at [[CoBris 2007]], 2nd place at [[COLIN 2008]] and [[COLIN 2009]], before winning his first event [[CoLei2]] later in 2009. In 2008, he also appeared in the [[Countdown Online Masters]] via [[MSN Messenger]], and lost {{score|100|99|COMA - Jon O'Neill vs Chris Wills}} to [[Series 47]] champion [[Chris Wills]] in the quarter-final.

In 2009, he became the first moderator of the petrol-powered rubber fisting sub-forum, joining such passionate users as 'His Mum' and 'His Grandma' and notable internet fascist Jon Jafari on [[c4countdown (AKA pissbaby virgins)]].

In 2009, he became the first moderator of the Off-topic sub-forum on [[c4countdown]].
  
His recent attendance (and frankly baffling, victory) at [[CoLei2]] 2009 has caused one c4c forum member to confess to another to have considered him to be the 'most repulsive waste of skin on the planet', a quality not diminished by Jon later putting a full nappy on his head. He has a face capable of being punched repeatedly with a brick.

His recent attendance (and of course, victory) at [[CoLei2]] 2009 has caused one c4c forum member to confess to another to have considered him to be the 'most attractive man in the room', a quality not diminished by Jon later putting an empty 'Celebrations' tin on his head. He has a face capable of carrying off such a jaunty appendage.
  
On 19 September 2014, he was a special guest on ''[[8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 4, Episode 3]]''. Halfway through the teams had the choice between Bono, described as an [[octochamp]], and [[Rob Beckett]], the worst comedian at ''Countdown''. Jon Richardson chose Rob as he did not need the help, so Jon joined [[Sean Lock]] and [[Jo Brand]]. Unfortunately he missed a numbers target, saying it was hard to concentrate(total noob), but did solve the conundrum {{word|SNOGAMILF}} in under a second in what some have described as an incredible fluke.

The ginger genius himself.

Jon O'Neill was an octochamp from Series 53, and was a semi-finalist in the 30th Birthday Championship.

He started off with a narrow 20 point win over Steve Smith before scoring 96 against Peter Wallis. All of his next 5 games were centuries including a high score of 114 against Theresa Turrell. In his final game, he dropped to 94, but still qualified for the finals as #3 seed with 804 points.

In the quarter-finals, he played Judith Young which was a close game. The game hinged on O'Neill getting 209 from 75, 100, 25, 6, 10, 50, which involved O'Neill going up to 5075 and coming back down again. Both players scored in every round until the conundrum, where O'Neill failed to solve the conundrum IRONCASTS which was all that stood between him and a score of 100.

In the semi-final, he faced John Mayhew, #2 seed with 811 points. O'Neill led by 7 points going into round 13, where he was beaten by THEOREMS and trailed by 1 point going into his choice of numbers. Controversially, he didn't choose 4 large and went for just one large number. Both players scored 10 points and the lights were dimmed for a crucial conundrum (EROGENICC), but neither player could solve it and Mayhew won the game by a solitary point. It was the second conundrum of French origin in a row that O'Neill had failed to solve.

One year later, O'Neill was invited back to the Championship of Champions XII, and faced Series 52 octochamp Jack Welsby. O'Neill started badly missing AMOEBAS. O'Neill couldn't beat Welsby in any letters round, and uncharacteristically was beaten by Carol in both choices of 4 large numbers. O'Neill did get the conundrum PROFANITY but it was Welsby that won the game by just 5 points.

He returned to Countdown in 2013, as one of 41 contestants taking part in the 30th Birthday Championship. He received a bye to the first round, and won his first game against Series 59 semi-finalist Kai Laddiman by a score of 101 – 76, he then beat the Series 6 champion Darryl Francis, scoring a personal best of 122 in the process. He then equalled his personal best in his quarter-final against the Series 66 champion Jack Worsley, and in the process, he achieved a max game, becoming only the third person in the history of the 15 round format to achieve this feat. In the semi-final, he played the formidable Series 54 champion Conor Travers. He managed to hold Travers for nearly every round, but his gamble of sulphated in round 6 backfired, and Travers solved the conndrum INFIGHTER in 1 second to get a 3rd consecutive perfect game.

Since appearing on Countdown, O'Neill has played at a number of unofficial Countdown tournaments, including COLIN 2005, CoBris 2005, COLIN 2006, CoBris 2006, COLIN 2007, CoNot 2008, CoNot 2009, COLIN 2010, Co:Lon 2010, COLIN 2011, CoNot 2011, Co:Lon 2011, CobliviLon and COEDI. He achieved 3rd place at CoBris 2007, 2nd place at COLIN 2008 and COLIN 2009, before winning his first event CoLei2 later in 2009. In 2008, he also appeared in the Countdown Online Masters via MSN Messenger, and lost 100 – 99 to Series 47 champion Chris Wills in the quarter-final.

In 2009, he became the first moderator of the Off-topic sub-forum on c4countdown.

His recent attendance (and of course, victory) at CoLei2 2009 has caused one c4c forum member to confess to another to have considered him to be the 'most attractive man in the room', a quality not diminished by Jon later putting an empty 'Celebrations' tin on his head. He has a face capable of carrying off such a jaunty appendage.

On 19 September 2014, he was a special guest on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 4, Episode 3. Halfway through the teams had the choice between Jono, described as an octochamp, and Rob Beckett, the worst comedian at Countdown. Jon Richardson chose Rob as he did not need the help, so Jon joined Sean Lock and Jo Brand. Unfortunately he missed a numbers target, saying it was hard to concentrate, but did solve the conundrum SNOGAMILF in under a second.
