What an amazing game, but I didn't like the deal at all. $175,000 is a big gap, but when you're guaranteed to win no less than $100,000, why not go for it? If Chelsea had just shut the box, we would have seen someone win the top prize in only the third week. It's a shame she didn't. Still... I'm pretty sure she'll be at the top of the winnings list for quite a while.

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?
