£10,000 was a generous offer and a really good recovery.
So pleased for Vera she really deserved her win! :D

£10,000 was the tipping point, so it's a good deal!

£17,500 is semi-believable when you remember how generous the Banker goes during one-box rounds...nevertheless £17,500 probably was a tad TOO high :lol:

Well done Vera :smt023

The way this game was going I had a horrible feeling Vera was going to end up joining the ranks of Nikki, Derek & Chris in terms of unluckiness. Thankfully not.

£10,000 was a respectable offer and one worth dealing, and had this been a normal finish to the game would have a resulted in another Banker Spanking. But the Banker must have had enough spankings over the last few days and decided to throw in that extra twist at the end to try and avoid another one.

I don't know why Noel failed to mention Chris's game.

He said that there had never been an all-blue 8-box, but Chris memorably had one. He played during the show 1,000 specials, so it wasn't even that long ago!

Only caught that from the second break on, but as soon as I saw the board, I thought "Michael" - and I'm really pleased Vera didn't repeat his deal, £2,500 wasn't really all that much different from £1,000 really. I thought deal immediately at 5-box and was glad the offer after the next box didn't sway her, it's much too easy to get greedy and go on one more box and crash altogether, though it did feel engineered to give her a guilt trip as she didn't seem to type to change her mind once it was made up. The £17,500 did seem very high but a couple of thousand didn't really make any difference to the overall result. Compare it to pammy at halloween getting £15,000 on £100k/2 blues, compared with £17,500 on £100k/3 blues here!!! (But Vera's 5-box offer was so much better too though)! I was surprised there wasn't a 3-box offer too - anyone still playing might have suckered into thinking there was going to be!

And it really did seem like Noel have forgotten about poor old Chris already, though I guess he couldn't say "Well if you find the £100k next box, you'll have an all-blue last 8, and Chris was the first one to do that about a month ago"!!! :)

I half expected the Banker to correct Noel and embarrass him for his lack of short-term memory when he called at 8-box!

So Noel forgets about Chris's game but on the plus side, suddenly remembers there were 4 banker spankings and not 3. I wonder if there is a capacity limit to Noel's recollection of statistics and if he gets 1 fact, another leaves his memory.

£10k was a pretty good result considering the state of the board in the later parts of the game.

Perhaps H2005's concern about Noel turning 60 and not being able to cope with the filming schedule was more about Noel's old grey matter rather than his physical wellbeing!

Well, I was in the audience for this one, and I can reveal that Noel was reminded about Paula's OPW by the other players (can't remember who now) partway through Vera's game. I can also reveal that since he made such a big thing about Vera being on the verge of "the first ever" all-blue 8-box, I was utterly flabbergasted last month when Chris's game was broadcast. Still, I suppose that teaches me to trust anything Noel says...

Oh, and the thought also crossed my rather cynical mind that the additional offer during the last round was a way to avoid yet another OPW. It also rather detracted from the fact that for the third game running we've seen a 5-box Deal followed by the next three amounts revealed being the biggest three on the board at the time.

At 8-box the situation also reminded me of Michael's game. About Noel forgeting that Chris had an all-blue 8-box. We musn't lose sight of the fact that he has to make the show as entertaining as possible and maybe also something to do with his age. Us lot can remember which parts we like which Noel can't do all the time. I am tempted to tease him about his age just like what David (h2005) did.
I did think that the £10,000 offer was very generous considering that Kingsley only got offered £3,000 on a similar board which he swiftly no dealt and crashed.
It was a big turnaround and just proves that with these games it's not how you start it's how to finish although a good start is an advantage but doesn't always work out. Well done to her,

I'd have thought it'd have made more sense for the banker to have offered £10,001 (or something similar) at 4-box, just to ensure Vera didn't get the "banker spanking" as Noel calls it.

Noel probably would still have classed it as a spanking though if that offer was £10,001, so they had to make it a bit higher than that to avoid another spanking, though I think £17,500 was rather high myself.

Well i was expecting £15k at 4 box, but then i think the Banker always over-reacts a little whether in live play or not when he throws in extra offers

Thought that was a great game, despite Noels dodgy recollection of certain facts (like last months all blue 8 box and how many spankings the Banker has had this past week). The bonus offer was a real curve ball, it looks tempting 'open one more box and get another offer' but in a one box game you have to bear in mind it could be one box too many. The odds were in Vera's favour to take it but given her luck up till that point i can see why she might not have wanted to risk it.

Scarlet just stole the show in the final third, I feel i know her a little too well now :oops: "It's my birthday as well and i only have one ovary"

Please tell me that's up on Youtube, that has to be one of the all time classic moments, so out of left field

I'm sad they didn't show the additional torture Cath went through with her hair being slagged off by Noel :lol: Anyway, it was really weird for me watching today as it was the first show I had been in the audience for. I was wondering how they were going to edit Vera's introduction into 5 minutes, she had so much to tell! I'm glad she took the 10k, I admit I was REALLY shocked when that offer came, I was expecting around 5-6k, just going from memory of Christine's game from March 2007, where she had a similar board (I think). I really liked Vera, she took all the initial setbacks really well and you could tell she was there more for the experience than for the money, well so I thought anyway. Well done! :smt023
