Just thought I would start up a little thread to mark the Power 5 wins this year, seeing as though we have had three so far, whereas last year was a pretty dry start.

Edited now with ANNALYN winning £75,000!

Pats historic win marks the 5th winner of £35,000 or more this year!

AMAZING SCENES!

Another one to add! Gill wins £75,000 with what could well be the best cock-up in Deal or No Deal history!

At least it wasn't edited out and re-taken hey Archie?

Earl joins the list, taking £65,000 from The Banker in a very tense duel!

A £46,000 win for Rosie marks the EIGHTH power 5 win this year.

Missing out on the DREAM FINISH! Isabelle becomes the 9th this year to go on the list.

The second power 5 win in the space of 5 days, Yui wins £38,000!

Stan the man with a dangerous plan won £50k!

A superb main game spanking from Laura gets her £50,000!

Jackie's superb spanking nets her £37,500

Two in a row!? Three in a week!?

Steve winning £40,000 makes it one of the best weeks, for a very, very long time in terms of games, decisions and results.

Couldn't agree more.

Now the question is can tomorrow's player create a 3rd Power 5 win in a row and make Deal history?

Emma had a great game, and can't argue with any o9f her decisions, but if only she didn't find the 75K!

Perhaps an apt time to review number of Power 5 wins per year!

(Total up to today's date, 24 Aug, in brackets for the relevant years)

2005: 5
2006: 24 (14)
2007: 39 (27)
2008: 16 (7)
2009: 27 (18)
2010: 16 (11)
2011: 18 (11)
2012: 15 (14)
2013: 13 (11)
2014: 14*

Encouraging signs, and more positivity/ brave players in the wings generally to imply we could be somewhere near 2006's total by the end of the year...

Pretty much bang on the average of 14.125 by this point in the year, then. Interesting!

£41,000 in a tension packed celebrity game, well done Alan!

I don't think Alan Carr's win should be on the list as he only won £26,000 in the actual game.
