What is this nonsense about Lamin "deserving" big money? No one "deserves" anything on DOND.

I was hoping the Banker would throw in a chair as part of the offers.

Exactly!

What a shame the game went horribly wrong, hope that his charity will do well. He was a great guy.
The odds of taking out the £100,000 in the round were 37.5%. I worked it out by doing 100 divided by the number of amounts still left (in this case 8) and times it by the number of boxes being revealed (3). It would work 100 divided by 8, times by 3 equals 37.5.

Poor old Lamin. I guess a trainwreck was to be expected sooner or later but for it to happen to a really nice guy who was playing to benefit others with no sign of any greed whatsoever is particualrly galling, especially after seeing Declan miss out on an all-power 5 finish with what i thought was quite a poor decision. That's the way the game goes though I guess. At least he took his misfortune pretty well - he was obviously disappointed but dignified.

I didn't think it would be either - the game seemed to be progressing quite slowly given the time but I expected it to be becuase he dealt early, as most people playing for charity are usually (understandably) quite cautious so indeed the third round was quite tense as I thought he's be out of the chair after a good round on a board that was fragile even from the opening offer. Once the QM went, and the following offer was a foricing £3k, I knew he was on the slippery slope.

And about the banker doubling box contents at the end of a trainwreck - has that failed every time he's made that offer? I know it did too with Claude and also Glen on New Years Day 08. I think Savvas got the higher amount at the end and got it doubled, and also Gabrielle from April 06, but I think that was after the boxes were opened IIRC.
