Well Done Brian!

Great game today and enjoy the money.
Well Done!

the 40K proveout made me LOL as thats total nonsense.

Remember Gaz? 10K vs 100K finish and he was offered 35K

I thought it was a bit high but not nonsense. Dave got offered 33.33K.

On interference though a min again I know Laura was practically handed the 250K at the end but can you imagine if earlier in the game she had Listened to her friend? She was totally negative and wanted her to get out at 8K can you IMAGINE how stupid She would have looked had she listened?.

Laura's friend was one of the reasons I shouted out that she had the QM!

If my mum and auntie had been there for my game, they would have made me go at £14,999. That's why they weren't there!

And you'd probably have regretted it if you'd swapped for another rubbish number and hit the big one in round 5...

Seriously, with regard to this game - only saw the end, really wish I hadn't, HUGE guilt trip from Noel and it's quite obvious most of this forum were listening. £19,999.99 was a rather generous offer, entirely reasonable to take it (I'm pretty sure I would have taken it too), £40,000 a clear-cut Deal, and that to me just felt like we've gone back to the nightmare of earlier in the year.

Wakey me up when something changes.

I'm so glad you did that Sarah .

I think its so much better when no one is there to try sway you and therefore every decision you make and consequence is on your own head.

No offense to Sarah here but if I was on the show, I wouldn't try and psychically guess what was in my box. Yes, he may have thought he had £100K in his box but I wouldn't risk £99K on instinct.

I'll tell you why Alex.... because if I had NO DEALT at £36,400!!!! I would have already risked at least 4 times my target so if I'd had the guts to do that, I would have also gone for the QM at a 50/50 chance!!

U get me?

And I too would go on my own, but that's mostly because what I'm looking for is very much driven by individual ambitions, whereas quite a few have financial goals relating to the family, and that's when I'd have few objections to advice from other interested parties. (It just so happens that in my case, there aren't any!)

I don't know what Brian wanted One Rock for, so I can't comment on him particularly.

Sarah: your finish had a justifiable Deal at 5-box/No Deal at 2-box pattern, because the final offer was rather less generous in percentage-of-the-mean terms, and very obviously so too. £36,400 with a 20% chance of £250k and one backup vs £50,000 with a 50% chance of £250k and no backup? There's a perfectly legitimate argument for taking the former and not the latter, but the same did not apply to Brian's final two offers.

Edit: I thoguht it was £40k not £50k, mixing it up with - I think - Catherine's final offer

that's oK I was just curious. I thought 36.4K was a clear cut deal anyway. I was just surprised when you said you would have no dealt. 50K.

If ure saying that u had a 60% chance of taking it out then it was just 50/50 I can sort of see where you're coming from. Would have been a huge gamble. i'd have taken the 50K without thinking.
It stastically sort of makes sense but sometimes ( not so much in your case) is strange when someone deals on a stable board then says they would have gambled at the end.

Ya I see your point actually Alex

At the 5 box stage in Brian's game I personally would have no dealt at that offer with only one blue.

yeah i wish Brian had dealt at 40K. Take a calculated gamble i.e. 60% chance of 10K then not risk 1k at the end.

Understandable to take it though. It was a good offer at 76% of the mean.

Thanks KP

I liked Brian, he was very funny. It's a shame that he had the £100k, though.

I wouldnt blame Sarah at all for gambling a 50K offer for a chance at the QM especially because like Lauras offer its ridiculusly low and has no deal written all over it.
I wish Sarah had won the QM first .

Brians attitude was just weird towards the end hes seemingly taking it all as fun but with a target then he deals at 19,999 with a bit of encouragement from his wife despite the face hes adament he has big money he goes cold on this and then says oh I woulda gambled on a 1k vs 100k finish because I know its in there despite the fact 40K is double his target and he dealt for 1p less than his initial one. Puzzling.

I still reckon though had he been alone he would have won £100,000 or 40k MINIMUM.

Well done Brian, one of the most entertaining contestants for a long time on the wings and in his show, and a good sum of money even if he didn't want to risk going all the way and proving his "psychic powers"!

Thursday 22nd March, about 12:30pm. I'm sitting in the audience of Deal or No Deal, wondering how I'm going to open the box, and what kind of contestants I'll be looking forward to, when the door opens and they all walk past us and onto the wings. I'm immediately drawn to an elderly looking man in a cloth cap, and I know already that he's going to be good.

Almost five months later I see his game! And it doesn't disappoint, one of my favourite contestants ever in the history of the show, I could watch it for hours and hours and hours! A real shame he didn't win the £100k as that would have made it the best episode in the history of the show, but somehow it seems right for a comedy contestant to win a comedy £19,999.99!

So he's the last left from my blue box open...it feels like an end of an era and it really really won't be the same without him on the end of the East Wing. Still, plenty of great contestants left, some still there from Dan's game, and I hope that they all have brilliant games! Well done on that £19,999.99, Brian, you're a legendary legend!

What an absolute legend! Brian was absolutely brilliant! Shame he didnt get the £100,000 but still, a nice sum of money!

[Siobhan: I'm gonna miss you Brian. Brian: I hope not! ]

brian was brilliant. what a legend. ive never laughed so much at a game in ages.
