Sam says

NO DEAL

Banker time

Sam says

NO DEAL

Last box

21 - £250 Jane

Banker time with £5 and £5,000 remaining

Noel says that Sam is at that simple stage now where she must decide if she is happy to go home with a blue...

Sam says

NO DEAL

In this game that passes for a magnificent recovery. Suppose a deal is justified but personally it would be a 'what the hell' moment.



....and I'd have won a fiver....

The Banker calls back and offers the SWAP

Sam says

NO SWAP

Noel opens box 11 and reveals £5

Box 6 with Sandie contains the £5,000

After having so many reds and so many big amounts, I just knew she would win a blue!

Just shows you how disgraceful the bag of balls have been this year, this one is going into the Incinerator food

Awhh no!!!

I loved Sam and i wanted her to doo sooo soo well! Especially after hearing her story at the beginning, Her and her husband must have gone through sooo much over the last couple of years i just really wanted to see them get a shed load of money!! I just hope she has a fab holiday in Barcelona!!

=(

Classic case of very generous offers that were never going to be taken, I'd have gone at £1,500 on a purely mathematical sense but I may well have autopiloted to at least £1,650 if not £2,100.

Remember the 90s, when a holiday to Barcelona would be a decent daytime game show prize in itself?

And that is farewell to yet another beautiful young lady

Not a good game money-wise, but may I just say Sam has my total respect for what she has been through in her life and being such a fighter against impossible odds

Enjoy Barcelona, Sam, and all the best for a happy and propserous future with your husband

Indeed, and I think Sam does too!

It was such a shame to see the £5 revealed - think it's the first anti-power 5 win we've had in a while - but at least Sam took it pretty well. She's clearly been through worse things, and she's more positive for it. All power to her

I've noticed that Wakeyism's kicked off all 5 special weeks this year (Viv in Love week, Tom in Banker's birthday [he dealt at 3 box but declined generous offers early in the game], Derek in Summer Specials, Whitey in Trick and Treat [dealt two-box after no-dealing generous 4-box and 3-box offers] and Sam today). Viv, Tom, Whitey and Sam all had fairly long runs, anyone think the producers were saving them for the specials?

I really liked Sam and wanted her to get the £5,000. Shame she didn't...

Only one thing left to say here.

Box 23 says

That and the early 2000s. Monkhouse Wipeout (currently repeating on Challenge) had European cities as the main prize right to the final series in 2001 and daytime Catchphrase did the same in 2002.

It's not the first time somebody has been on for ages only to end with a few quid.

Im sorry, and i no its your opinion and all that rubbish, but todays game was not the game to bring back that stupid box!!

Actually Mark, I thought it would be Incinerator Food, because she won less than £100

No she didn't, the holiday's worth a lot more than that
