Strange, tension-averting game today with seemingly popular contestant from the wings Rich, mainly due to the horrific middle game collapse that kept the offers low and the decisions all too easy.
In the end, he completed a pretty good recovery and took a decent sum of money, which you can't really blame him for, given the struggle he had to recover to a respectable sum, albeit not the peak of his game. As an extra sting in the tail, £15k in the box.
Pretty poor game considering he had that in front of him. It was an odd configuration early on when he hit the top 4 reds and no other reds, and from then on you're essentially playing an 'oranges-and-blues' game which is never good (especially when you have people wrongly advising where the money is
, although Carrie's prediction was spot on
).
In the end, not a bad result from a pretty ghastly game, and I'm saying that even though it was an OBW.
