This is a bit scary now says Louise.... Noel says that if the banker was telling the truth then box 19 has the £5,000....

Noel says the banker could have made a big problem for himself here, and the offer might reveal something...

The banker says he was pleading for Louise to not swap

Banker offers

11p

I reckon she has the £5,000.

Wow! 11p! Mind game and a half!

If she wins £5,000 there will be a massive cheer! The amount of decision making this requires is massive...

This is SO weird!! :shock:

11p?! But he could be bluffing... this is basically now... Banker's bluff or no banker's bluff!! :shock:

I think it's ok with low amounts like this... but if this was 1p vs £75k... I think it'd be a little unfair?! And now the contestants are split!

Hayley tells Louise to NOT swap as he is bluffing... Patricia tells Louise that he is not a nice man!

Louise says

NO DEAL

It's all on this now says Noel.... SWAP or NO SWAP

Louise says

NO SWAP

Well done Louise! I would have done exactly the same...

We will now find out how honest the banker is says Noel

Noel opens box 12 and reveals £5,000

Box 19 contains the 10p

Better box opening! I could see all of the lid and a bit of the box

well done Louise!!!! Great decision making

Make no mistake. That was a HUGE play by Louise at the end.

And a great victory. Brilliant salvage operation. Love it.

That was an absolute psychological rollercoaster! Well done Louise, that was an incredible game, even though £5,000 isn't the greatest sum of money ever, it was quite possibly one of the most deserved and hardest-earned OPWs of all time. Congratulations!

ANOTHER hard-earned OPW - and this time it's no draw!!!

Very hard-fought, and very well deserved!

Well, congratulations on the £5,000 Louise, but I don't think I'm going to bother watching in future.

Even though he knew Louise had the £5,000, not even giving her a chance of a get-out was completely unfair play.

Having said that, I'd probably watch it again tomorrow... :roll:

VERY satisfactory ending

Enjoy the 5k, Louise

Offering 11p was a bit silly, as everyone would No Deal that rather than offering a fair amount of money which would tempt them out of the chair.

Interesting show though. Louise was really different in her game compared to the time on her wings.

I think the 11p just confirmed she had it in her box and she knew it and won it :-D

a Job well done Louise!

Well I think I'll be remembering Christmas 2007 on DOND with this week - forget next week! This week is where it's at - Christmas costumes, graphics and sound effects - the Star shows pale into insignificance.

The Scrooge / Santa thing is the same as the Halloween thing really - an offer after each box with a guaranteed gift, or the banker can look in one of the boxes or even the player's box. I think it'd be very unfair if the banker pulled the "low offer" trick on a blue vs Power 5 final two though.

Still a great OPW - the first one since James back in November (assuming you count Asma as a draw - even as an OPW, it didn't feel like one, whereas today's most definitely did). I hadn't noticed Louise on the wings but I liked her a lot in her game - well done to her on that £5k OPW! :-D

I think the banker will lie most of the time and possibly the odd time really tell the truth to rattle them. - That being if scrooge is picked again!

That was quite interesting, not entirely sure what to make of it. I read in Louise's fanclub that her game was really interesting, so I just immediately thought "Huge win". So the first four rounds with all those reds going didn't bother me at all, the game's going so quickly and the ad-breaks short that the turnaround's clearly going to happen and she's going to win a huge power 5 sum. And, erm, then the last big red goes. Oh.

Very interesting play from the Banker with those bluffs. At the final two I was just thinking "Why mess about with an offer when she's going to say No Deal whatever it is, why not just offer 11p!" And, erm, he did! I think in a situation like that it's best to just ignore all the mindgames and play the game in the way you'd normally play it, as if you think "Well, he must be bluffing and I must have £5,000, but then again he might not be, but then again it might be a double bluff, or maybe it's a bluff of the double bluff..." you'll just have a brain implosion.

So yep, very interesting show today and well done Louise on one of those rare things - an OPW!
