hello everybody. I really enjoyed Steve's game. To me he wore his heart on his sleeve in spite of all the bluster and 'rock n roll'. Seemed like a really nice family and I can relate to what he said about his family being his life. Well done Steve, enjoy the money and spend it wisely.

Life is for living

great game steve, enjoy the 40 grand with ya family xxx

Yes, I was in the audience for this game, and I do remember thinking that somebody had already gone rummaging through those cupboards before, as Steve went to have a look down there...

Certainly wasn't one to shy away and quietly leave with twenty grand was he?

Sixth OPW in a row (I'm sorry, but Vera's was an OPW if you ignore the blatant attempts to inflict a guilt trip).

A very enjoyable OPW, to turn down £30,000 was very brave.
Well done Steve on winning £40,000

I didn't find Steve annoying at all. He seemed a down to earth kind of guy. Was expecting old faithful at 8 box today and £30k was certainly a generous offer but it was one of those boards where the odds were he'd hit one of the 3 biggies and even the £250k would have resulted in a half-decent offer.

Have to agree with KP in his refusal to acknowledge the 4 box offer yesterday - even if you didn't, it's still 6 players wins in a row now.

  Steve from one brummie to another you played a blinder.bet your guna have a great time spending the dosh.great game,brave moves paid off.ENJOY.

Steve was brilliant. played a real blinder, and really nailed the Banker.

Came across as a great bloke too, a mischevous fun loving geezer with a heart of gold. Really can't fault him

But please don't tell me mullets are making a comeback, I don't think i could bear it

FAB game, really enjoyed his game and thought he was a great guy, fun but also really sincere and genuine. LOVED the tension and just brilliantly played! 40K, FANTASTIC!

Welcome over from the C4 boards terryb and JuliePenguinFan. Bit cheeky of C4 to shut the forum a few days early but there you go.

Although until now I have only posted occasionally here I find this forum much easier to use than the C4 one was. Praise to David (h2004) and all the team for a great site.

Hey Kaledmutant and you too Terry!
Nice to see you here! Yes this site is really great and friendly isn't it!
Fuzzy started up a hello thread which is now in the off topic area so a lot of old C4 faces are there too, with a few name changes! Come and say hi!

Brilliant game, and one that continues an amazing run of OPW's.

Steve was mental, but I liked him and £40,000 is brilliant money.

I have to admit I was a bit unsure about Steve at first, but I'm now sure that he was a lot more entertaining than he was annoying. I'm currently re-watching it on 4OD and I'm in almost constant laughter! Fantastic to see someone having so much fun and enthusiasm. I know to some the "come on" types can be annoying but not in this case, especially when it produces a great game with big money like this and also Joe from June 07 who was very similar! Whereas Clayton looked a bit of an idiot doing it all the time when he had one of the worst trainwrecks imaginable!

Excellent gameplay too - the 8-box board would have seen £20,000 dealt by many last year, and £30k was about right for it, so great to see a no-deal there triggering a brilliant 5-ox offer with a deal and a great proveout. Made me laugh especially when the box he thought the quartter-mill was in actually had 10p.

Brilliant stuff. Well done Steve, rock and roll!!
