Well, it certainly divided opinion here. :roll:

Same as the poll I've set up about Craig's (viewtopic.php?f=4&t=23708), but with an extra option suggested by KP on that thread.

You have seven days to vote

Questionable seems the word here. Mathematically, very justifiable, but at this level of all-or-peanuts gamble it's not a gamble most could justify, probably including Nong herself. Certainly, not many are going to rationally value £250k twice as highly as £68k.

I voted that it was questionable. Reckless seems harsh, but she didn't look comfortable taking that end gamble.

Definitely questionable. Considering how upset she seemed turning down 17k and 34k, you get the feeling that if the final gamble had gone wrong, she would've been absolutely devastated.

I went for 'questionable'.

It was an amazing game, but I'm kind of in two minds about the final gamble

It was a massive gamble and she got very emotional turning down £68k with the chance of losing the lot. If she had gotten the £5, everyone in the dream factory would've been heartbroken, and people watching and especially on facepalm, sorry ,FACEBOOK, would've been calling her a greedy idiot etc.

However, a part of me's glad it was won this way as the previous 4 QM wins were pretty much handed to them, with 3 of them being down to banker stingyness and a pretty easy banker's gamble. Whereas Nong took massive risks in the case to get the big prize.

I think this was probably the first time we've really had a hard-earned £250k, which is what i've wanted to see.

Certainly was a much better game than last Sunday wasn't it! ;-)
