I was impressed by Jason on the wings, but his game...Well to be fair it wasn't exactly his fault, it was a trainwreck from round one, he never really recovered from taking out the top two in the opening round.

I think the real problem, to my eyes , came with his realisation at the first offer that he'd taken out the number he most wanted to keep and that it had the £100k in it. I don't exactly understand how someone can accidently open their lucky box without realising but I guess anything is possible in the heat of the moment and under the pressure of being in live play. After that he seemed to be coming up with special numbers all over the place and i'm not entirely convinced by any of them, it was like he was clutching at straws. I mean no disrespect to the man or his kids but i really didn't see how 2+5 or 2+7 equalled lucky numbers, it would have made more sense if he'd gone with their ages rather than trying to find meaning in the dates.

It's awful really because it's clear 12 did mean a lot to Jason and throw it away like that when it could have secured a big pay out must have been a serious blow. I just think he was too busy kicking himself when he should have been concentrating on the game.

A rather eventful trainwreck today. Even I remembered as soon as Noel said that no-one had had a second offer swap, that he was telling porkies (although I had to search in the forum for the player's name).

Quite ironic that the other person who had a 2nd offer swap (Craig) also won £10.

You mean to tell me that this show is still on the air? Really? Wow. Major lulz there. I thought it died a long time ago. It's dead to me, though. Maybe it's time to for you lot to give up. I did a long time ago, and I feel great !
Just thought I'd check in to see how things are progressing. Apparently, nothing's changed, and it's all still craptastic.
Amazing (Not!).
Carry on, chaps. Enjoy the failure !

I thought you'd left for good?!

(With the emphasis on good).

Decided to make a brief cameo appearance, just to see how things were holding up. Evidently, nothing's changed at all. People are still failing. Yawn. That's why I left in the first place.

That's it for me now, so take care, don't work too hard, and enjoy your wasting your time with this game show.

Trainwreck. funny that i used that line in my show but it was cut out! Along with shed loads of other stuff that explains alot more than you all seen.Still the £10 win hasnt bethered me in the slightest its the fact that MY two to KEEP i took out.You see it wasnt just 12, number 17 was my big final box, i had planned to have 17 and 12 at the end with my chosen table box obviously then ask too swap so leaving 17 and 12.You cannot know how much that meant to me,theres so much i can`t tell you guys,but watch again and look into my eyes theres a raging firestorm going on in my head.

Im over it, the flames have all but burnt out,but watching last night has almost sparked a burning that of which feels like the pits of hell!.

As noel said a million times to me,You gotta move on jason forget it-Well i have(sort of)all i have now are the memorys of what such a great time i had being there and taking part in it all,simply brilliant!.

Read it how you like guys-forums are what they are!

Some people are always going to fail. Inevitable. You should've come back later, September is known for a bad month, apparently.

It's a very bad time to play, stat-wise...and despite everything, Noel is meant to be VERY supportive after a poor game...hell he has to be when everyone witnesses a complete crash and whoever is playing feels like they needn't bother even showing up!

The experience is priceless though so at least you enjoyed that ay?

aww what a shame he seemed a sweetie aswell but hey hes got his kids so i,m sure he will get over it

Yes, I was encouraged with the first round speech about 22 being just a number and not a curse (or something to that effect) and then watched with despair as Jason tied himself in knots with virtually half the number carrying some sort of "special significance".

A most unlucky game anyway.

What a scruffy young man, it's time they had a dresscode on this show. The late great Hughie Green would never have tolerated contestants looking so untidy on one of his shows.

Well, I caught most of this in a hotel close to Alton Towers. By the time I switched on, the top 3 had gone, and as I later realised he had intended to keep 2 of these numbers (doh!). I think if you've got a system you should stick to it, as the regret is likely to be more if you don't (and you sometimes have notes to remind you what could've been), and if you can't keep to a system, don't use one simply, otherwise you just end up complicating random number's significance for no good reason, such as Jason today.

It's also a weakness of mindset that the banker is likely to exploit with the offers. However, the offers would've needed to be close to the mean to get most players out of the chair today, as the board remained fairly stable. It was an unavoidable trainwreck, but not in the usual sense.

Cheers muriel i aint been called a young man for ages! as for scruffy .did you know i had a shave for alll my shows but one (people back home didnt recognise me on the box)vic said to me on morn "come on jay have a scrape you never know aria giovanni might be watching you and you like her dont ya!"
