How very very bizarre.

The Banker almost threw that game away with eight-box and five-box offers of utter silliness - but recovered the situation at two-box. However, he could probably have gone for the £5,999 with success!

I know on Friday in Ashleigh's game Noel asked Ian if he had a poem ready like it was something he always does, yet it was the first time I ever heard Ian read a poem, and as far as i'm aware today was only his 2nd poem.

As for the Camilla thing, I know Noel has made reference to Maggie as Camilla on a couple of occasions and I guess that's why he mentioned Camilla in his poem

I enjoyed today's game today with Maggie and I certainly wasn't expecting such a tense ending.

The way the game was going I thought it was going to be a 'peanut' game the way Maggie kept hitting the big numbers I even thought she might take £4,000 the second time it was offered. But as I said that final all blue round was so tense and I was willing Maggie on to the end and I actually thought that she would hit the £100,000.

I thought that whatever the Banker offered at the end Maggie would take, I actually thought that it would be £26,000 and I nearly thought she was going to ND the offer, If only she had.

However to get £22,000 out of that game was good going and am happy that Maggie didn't end up with 'peanuts' but a decent sum which i'm sure will help her to an early retirement

As for Miss Orry it was a bit of a shock even though I knew it was coming and I suppose he is the first transvestite on the show, unless Noel's got something to tell us

I really didn't expect Maggie to be a no-dealer so i was very much suprised today.

Well done though Maggie, £22,000 is lovely money.

Ian says a poem on every single box opening but they've cut them all out til now!!! they obviously didn't like them when they watched it back!! Will be interesting to see if they cut it tomorrow or put them all in from now on.

I suspected editing would be involved

What were the poems like, as it's a shame they cut them out if they're funny.

Great game today. At least the banker didn't go for a really punishing 2 box offer. Yes, she could have won £100K today but risking £22K takes a certain type of contestant and Maggie was never going to be that contestant.

If anyone is interested Miss Orry has a website

I like how Noel said at the end about hindsight and stuff yet tomorrow if someone squanders the 250K he will absolutly anhilate them verbally and rightfully so, but still Noel cannot make his mind up.

Good comeback in the end, didn't see her rescuing £22,000 from that game the way it was going! Although, it was a pretty horrific game considering she had the £100,000 in front of her all the time, as she blasted out all the reds, and in the end had pretty much no option but to deal the 2-box offer.

That's 7 reds in a row now - if a red comes to the table tomorrow, it'll equal the record set from shows 260-267 of 8 reds. Last time, the boxes totalled £335,000, this time it stands at £293,000 after 7 boxes. It's certainly been the era for the no-dealer lately, with boxes at the table averaging little under £42,000!

Now I've said that, I bet we have a low blue at the table tomorrow! (p.s. I don't know anything!)

I thought that was a great game today. Going by a few comments Maggie had made in the wings, I suspected that she would be a bit of a gambler. I actually thought she was going to no deal the £22k and win £50, as I thought she had a blue. As for the Miss Orry thing, I'll be honest. I liked it a lot. I thought it was very funny. I think the Johnny tramp thing has become a bit stale. I just wish Maggie had done the Crazy Frog impression. Does anyone know whether it was edited out?

I've not been watching the show very long, but it seems to be fate that if they deal with a low and high amount left they always seem to lose out when the gamble would have won them the higher amount.
Still I'm sure the memory of poor Jay's recent game will still be haunting many of the contestants.

Can't say I particularly enjoyed that one, it was one of the most insane games I've ever seen, but not in a good way I'm afraid. Noel's "Big Issue" joke towards Jonny was just crass, and I'm annoyed that Olly has had £250k two games running and has been there yonks and wasn't picked....and I had to hide behind the sofa when Miss Orry was on.....and I keep getting Kerry and Hayley mixed up, probably becuase Hayley is too simialr to the other Kerry!! And current kerry is annoying me with her saying "don't pick me becuase I've had all blues" EVERY time she gets picked!! And both Maggie and her partner looked too scary for me too!!

But in gameplay terms, shame about the 100k in the box, when the whole board had been detroyed - the banker's miserlyness at 5-box probably cost in between 10k and 15k there! And it's far easier to gamble 4k with a 60% chance of a blue then 22k with a 50% chance of a blue - the pot odds are much more in your favour at 5-box with crap offers like that - at least maggie did well to get as far as she did and didn't end up outdoing Christine!!

This one was even more exciting than Stuart's game. Keep up the good work, team!

OK I take back my comments - the show isn't flat. That was a good game - shame she didn't gamble at the end but she won a good amount gave us tension.

We've only had 1 blue win being Jay so it's been fine really - just decent/large money deals rather than a mega money box opening.

things are just stable I guess an average win of just under 19K since James and only one box opening.
it's the fact that despite people winning good money they have been close to 6 figures.

I think this is best summed up as the 'more luck than the players know what to do with' period!

Several great boards, which have led to huge offers, and the players invariably seem to play them out a bit and then decide they can't keep getting lucky, thus taking the big money. They've certainly not been cowardly or even targetist, several players have turned down over £20,000 including - critically - at eight-box, but they've looked it (especially in the eyes of Noel and his Wakeyists) because invariably, the luck has gone on further than the players have after their usually sensible deals!

Sorry kes? Now one of two stupid and unreal names are OK (Orry, Asma) but that's just taking it too far. Way too far. Namfron is not a name. I'm sorry, it's just not. Whichever way you look at it.

Have you even seen Asma or Namfon? Given their origins, it's probably a perfectly normal name!

Oh, and I couldn't find Namfon but Asma is definitely a name... http://www.behindthename.com/name/asma

God there Is no Pleasing some People on here Is their?
One min your saying that the Show Is bland and boring and then when they do something Amazing like let Miss Orry come out to play (Who looked Gorgeous and Is very Funny) or give Johnny a Makeover In great style you just Bitch and moan
Like someone said they ain't Robots they have "PERSONALITY"
I for one would rather see the likes of Clive, Hayley, Miss Orry and Johnny who shine, stand out and bring something to every game than just see a bland contestant whose biggest sentence Is "HOPE IT'S A BLUE" and you don't even notice them
On another Post someone said they HATE Miss Orry
WHY? You don't know him/her, I went to a few Recordings while Orry was on the West Wing and he Is just a caring person and took time out to speak to the Audience while we waited to go In and had everyone In stitches of laughter before the Show started and even In the break went and cuddled the other Contestants and If Miss Orry got on your nerves then your gunna Love him even more on Santa or Scrooge week!!! Unless your there and In that close enviroment then you couldn't possibly know how they feel towards one another or what they are going through so just lay off them a bit.
Someone said that they really hated Miss Orry, Marcus and Bunny!!! Well In my eyes that Isn't hate It's Homophobia and not a very nice thing to have on a Forum
It's NOT a Game Show It's an ENTERTAINMENT programme so take it for what It Is and enjoy, don't analyze everything
