I should add that the show probably shouldn't use this tactic of announcing the next offer early because it's clearly meddling too much with the format I fear, but it's interesting from a purely hypothetical point of view!


I wouldn't mind seeing it being used more often (but not too often), to be honest. He could also use it to encourage dealing (although I'm not sure Endemol would approve of that!!) by possibly saying what the maximum next offer would be if the player had a nightmare round.

It was an interesting twist that ultimately had no bearing on today's proceedings, except that if she hadn't have had an all-blue round, the thought of not getting the £20k would be upsetting... but I'd have thought it was obvious that the offer would be about £20k on such a final two anyway.

I think the banker saying (or possibly guaranteeing) what the minimum / maximum offer will be after a nightmare / best round isn't really that different from the player doing the analysis themselves... and if it encourages a bit of board analysis, then it can only be a good thing!

He should have Lied and offered 17K or something rattle things up a bit.

I hated that audience today EVERYONE SAID DEAL imagine if we get a 250K blue final two and someone is given a DERISORY offer and the muppets still all stand up for DEAL or yell it I'd be sick to my stomach.

She did ask them though and was planning to deal anyway.

And yeah it would have made more sense to offer 17K or something to play up the mean persona.

The 'knowing what the next offer could be for sure' is effectively, though informally, done in Australia with the host saying 'if the next one is <low number> the offer should be about $xx,000' and the Banker invariably obliging with either that or $1k short.

Fairly quiet on the wings, but when she got to the chair, Shaz reminded me of several of my relatives, so I was thrilled when she pulled the player victory out of the bag at the last minute. Agreed that the Banker's offers were frequently too low, wonder what he was thinking?

telling the offer early then raising it at the actual offer is a good psychological trick, making it more than what people expect is more likely to lead to a deal

true but the banker made a hash of it today, putting her through the wringer then giving her a gimme offer in the context of the situation and previous offers. 19/20K would have led to a deal so why 25K?

The banker has made a few good offers recently but didn't play well today.
