That final two came down to one thing: do you see it as a loss if you walk out of that situation with 100k? Chelsea did, I think I would, you and many others wouldn't.
Incidentally it was Jessica's final two halved, another expectant mother, and the offer was almost exactly half Jessica's too (just a bit lower). I would have Dealt both, I could completely understand No Dealing both, and I daresay that the incentive for 'going for the jackpot' is a lot lower when it's not a million. Dare I suggest Chelsea would have turned down Jessica's final offer too, even though financially speaking it would be irrational to take her own final offer and not Jessica's?
