Well, due to my whole day of DOND on monday, I didn't get round to watching any of this week's televised episodes until today, when I watched 3 (as is the traditional daily recording schedule)!
Bit of a mixed bag. Bill's show was quite entertaining with the bleeped-out swearing. I remember on monday Noel said "Ok, let's say something that can actually be broadcast on channel 4!", as at recordings they tend to break off into ever-obscure and often rude tangents. For it to be left in was quite surprising, but it gives viewers an idea of how rude recordings can get! As for the deal, it was quite weak for the board, but at least he didn't have £100k, and the ending wasn't too bad.
I didn't exactly warm to Julie's attitude myself, but at the same time over-confidence is going to achieve high value results in this game occasionally, more so than caution. An offer at the end would have given a decision, and we were denied that, and instead given a 'roulette wheel' lottery, which is not really where the tension lies in this game. Plus, you're not essentially 'punishing' someone if you're giving them £37,502.50 which they must bet on red or black (ok, blue then)... are you?
However, it's our first power five win in ages, so I shouldn't complain too much
Today's game was entertaining enough, Judy seemed to be really enjoying herself, pity the board largely fell apart. Good set of offers and I'd probably have taken the £10k, the £8k she took was perfectly justifiable, so not a bad result.
