Is there room down there for one more?

Lance was ok but I have to say he was quite difficult to understand because of his mumbling and his Northern accent (:P). Another pretty awful deal with 4 higher - all of which were Power 5s and two of which were the big 2. Interesting that Noel said at the end "Why would you come on this show if you don't have the bottle to give it your best shot"!

The show overall was fairly average to be honest, I was hoping Lance would open up more when it came to his game but it wasn't to be. Two shows in a row the £250k has come to the table and the banker's been taken for a total of £37,500. Not great really.

But to those of you who say you're not watching any more (most of you seemingly) - see you tomorrow!

LMAO I knew he was a pathetic targetist so I was not suprised the banker went extra low on that APPAULING £17,500 for the board knowing the gullable boy would take it.

And once again the £250,000 SQUANDERED SQUANDERED SQUANDERED through a lack of courage and from having no hoper desperate for a bit of money grabbing contestants!

Absoltuly PATHETIC!

SOS!

What a crap deal!

I just love it when you have a go at contestants that blow it

Yes, it seems like only two days since I last wrote the same thing. I'm pleased, just as I was on Saturday, that Lance lost out on a big win because he had no guts and no courage and no intention of playing the game.

Endemol - Are you here to win 20k or the play the game?
Contestant - I'm here for 20k.
Endemol - Great, you're on.

Please! No more WIMPS, it is ruining the game.

Not quite what I would think, it's the fact the players are taking insulting offers day in day out. There is nothing new to be said. It has all been said a million times before, tells you enough how bad the show is if you could pretty much copy and paste the same post for nearly every game. (No, that's not well done, enjoy the money )

Well today on more 4 was the repeat of Graham's game, which means tomorrow will be Betty's game, just incase you want to watch a game that someone did have the bottle.

Well I'm 22 and I would have gambled that.

I wouldn't pin too many hopes on that!

Old Noel is back, then.

The difference is that this time the viewers agree with him.

That's four deals in six games I wouldn't even have considered! Good grief.

Is that the first time the £250,000 has been on the table twice in successive games? And will there be a Wakeyist revival after it? I almost want one now for variety...

Another waste of space blows the perfect chance. I wouldn't have blamed him if he'd gone at the next round, but that deal was ludicrous. And I think he was fibbing just a little bit when he said he'd refuse the swap.

The two most annoying things? 1) My pet hate, picking the newbie in the round after the deal to try to blow it apart (even worse having already knocked back the newbie for fear of the curse)

2) Les. I've quite enjoyed Les in the wings, but I hope Dave punched him in the mouth when the cameras stopped. What a patronising git (couldn't print the real word, but think pigs and you might get there!) "Dave's only had one game, we've had loads." And your point is? Cos he hasn't stood in the studio he can't read the board or play the game? Louise and Slim had forty-odd games between them, played like idiots, blew a fortune and ruined the whole week of the show for me.

When's Blockbusters coming back?

No Katie and Justin both squandered it back to back in Late Feb Early March!

There are 3 student type contestants on the show at the moment including Lance, along with Paul and Adam. Maybe they're picking students because they know they'll deal early as they need the money? But I'm not convinced at all that the show is picking contestants who are targetists and / or cautious because they must know what boring shows it would potentially produce! Although when a player blows it "big time" like today and Saturday, it does make it a bit more interesting than if it was just an average £10k deal.

What irritated me was how when Dave was actually being positive (about the only one there to do so!), Les said that because Dave had only been there for one show, he wouldn't have seen people win low! But that's irrelevant as each show's different - and thinking about the low wins is what is making the players stupidly cautious! What about Colleen, Karl and Louise who all dealt far too soon? Why not mention them?

I just feel at the moment everyone is being far too negative in the Dream Factory and this is why everyone's dealing far too soon for poor offers on great boards. Like Noel said, it says on their files that they're there to go for the big money and then they change when they get to the chair - and whilst some players might pretend they're gamblers when they're not - I think the main problem for the majority of them is how they keep remembering how games have gone wrong so they cautiously deal - totally forgetting each game is so different!

Yeah, well said. I forgot to mention, I thought Noel's intro was spot on. I'm wondering if the Endemol people actually get as angry as we do when people suddenly bottle it in the chair? It's easy for us to sit here and have a go at them, but it's a point someone raised on here before, they can't possibly know how people are going to react in the studio and with real money staring them in the face.

It is a difficult time on the show...though this sort of game is preferred to the trainwrecks, we're still more or less seeing under £20,000 won every day.

Last week had a couple good exemptions, but come on - need more gambling!

Lance needed the money, cue pushing offers and he wasn't bullied into going on...unfortunately he should have let the offers push him on to at least the £25,000

What really confuses/irritates me is that all these people seem to think they're dealing really generous offers. £17,500 was absolutely horrendous for that board but Lance was still on about what a great offer it was...if he'd just said "I can't afford to risk that amount of money regardless of that board" then I could understand that (although it would still have been disappointing), but why can no one recognise that these are rubbish offers?

Poor Lance. The last two games have been like a recurring nightmare. I suppose he thought it couldn't happen again in the next game...

Yeow!

Stuart your sig says it all...
