8 years ago Tony played and won £20,000 at 8 box his proveout was dreadful as at 5 box he got offered £40,000 and at 2 box £80,000.Thank god £3,000 was in his box. It might of been cautious to some people especially Mark.Noel said he was relieved that the £250,000 was not in Tony's box as it gives everyone else on the wings the belief that it could appear in their games.
Noel. I believe those proveout offers were inflated. Especially the £40,000 one. He had £250,000 and £3,000. Believe me the game after this one is a first for the show.

YIPPEE!

Anyone remember THAT proveout three years ago?!

Ah yes, Toni. Not a terrible £26k deal at 8-box, but she really hadn't taken the game well up to that point and there was no respite up to the £75k/£250k finish. I remember at least one forum member posting some very harsh comments about her, to the point of bemoaning the fact they didn't do the hypo-swap "just to rub it in" . That said, while I did feel sorry for Toni, I did wonder why she'd applied for the show, and I still remember the look on her face when the £75k was revealed in her box...

OH DEAR...OH DEAR....OH DEAR...

Please don't bring that phrase back.

In the meantime, happy Caroline Banana day everyone...

Don't you know she got done for fraud from her winnings on DOND? She got put away in prison for it.

Indeed. A shame really as her game was good to watch and was a good antidote to Toni's game; certainly more so than Elaine's game the previous day, where a contestant got thrown out of the studio by Noel and put on a passing van heading back to the hotel

9 years ago, my welsh namesake became the second blue winner in DoND history, and the first player to crash to a blue after a significant gamble. He no-dealt an offer of £17,600 on a £10/£100/£1k/£35k/£75k 5-box....and took out all three reds in the last round!

A horrible crash was completed when James played to the end and won £10 from his box This game was made somewhat infamous by the fact that James had quit his job to be on the show!!

On the other occasion when December 2 fell on a Friday in DoND history, 3 years ago. Nicola completed a real rollercoaster week for player performances by getting a nice OPW from a £13,500 deal at 5-box

Don't forget what happened a year ago today. Nenad took the walk of wealth, and he was a bag of nerves throughout. The Banker (over)played on this, making him terrible offers throughout despite the strong board Nenad had, worst of which was offering £26,000 on a £50/£3k/Top 3 five box. After months of players refusing to decline poor offers and squandering easy Power 5 wins, Nenad FINALLY broke the trend by no dealing that pitiful offer. Left with a £50/£75k/£250k 3 box, the Banker made an offer £35,000 and then raised it to £40,0000, which Nenad no dealt as well! He found the £75,000 in the last box, producing a very mixed reaction in the studio. Then, in one of the biggest surprises of 2013, the Banker was so desperate for Nenad not to win the jackpot that he offered £75,000 on a £50/£250k finish. Nenad very sensibly dealt this generous offer and FINALLY ended the drought of Power 5 wins since Paddy's game. Had he went on, he would've swapped for the jackpot, but him and Noel weren't at all bothered by it, as he still won a life-changing sum of money.

I think I would have taken £400000

8 years ago, Ingerlise dealt at £15,000 at 8-box with only the £10k, £35k and £250k on the red side, but joined Debbie as the worse dealer for a £250k when it was revealed in front of her - The first time it appeared on the table since Debbie's game in June!

This was also one of the first times a player really took it badly when they dealt too early and missed out on a huge sum of money And ironically, the one person on the wings who was strongly advising Ingerlise to deal at the £15k, was of all people, Donna!!

I have a funny feeling that Donna would've dealt her £21,000 8 box offer even if her boyfriend wasn't there with her.

Why can't i help but think that if it wasn't for Donna's boyfriend being present and Noel's aggressiveness, and she still dealt at the £21,000. Maybe, JUST maybe, she might not have taken the proveouts as bad as she did...

1 year ago was £700 Rosie's game, less said about that game the better

3 years ago, Cat had an unlucky game throughout and went away with £100

4 years ago, a very nervous Jan recieved very poor offers on an average board in the later stages of her game, and only got offered £1,000 on a 1p/£10k final 2 . The final gamble paid of however and Jan won £10,000 Not quite an OPW as her highest offer was £12,000, but still a great result from her game

7 years ago, The best game on this date was John's game in 2007, where he dealt at a very generous £18,000 on a £3k/£35k, which was a TPW as he could've dealt at £26,000 earlier

9 years ago, Eddie got a good OPW after he dealt at £10,100 on a 2-blues/£3k/£75k 5-box I miss those generous 2005 late-game offers

The other games on this date were Jaye, Charmaine, and Carla's low red wins. The first two winning £3,000 from their boxes, and Carla dealing £4,000

If box 23 was there back then, she probably wouldn't have dealt it.

You're probably right Mark, but we'll never know for sure.

Rosie is a deservedly at the top of the list on the Horrible Deals Club, and to save time I'll just quote what I wrote there:

Rosie's game was probably one of the reasons box 23 was introduced.

This day has had memorable games for sure

5 years since Corinne's game. Where she no-dealt £88k and won.....1p!! She really deserved to win the £250k with her attitude

6 years since "I mean deal!" Mary's debut on the wings, and Jackie taking a surprise gamble at 5-box on a £250k-strong game which didn't work out

7 years since £40k Ashleigh's game

8 years since Tingly Mike swapping away the 1p and bringing £20k to the table at 17-box and having an 11-box deal for £26,500

9 years since Sara dealt at £31,000....but would've been the first player to have the DREAM ending!

1 year ago was 11/12/13! And £75k Gwyn's game!
