Round 6, part 2

Harry says he's unintentionally left 3 important numbers to the end!

Harry chooses box 9 with Pommy and the banker phones and says that box has £35,000 in it! Harry's worried now that there's a coincidence and the banker's right!

9 - Pommy - £35,000 :shock:

Banker time

The end of the credits had "With thanks to Big Game Hunters". :suspect:

Obviously Freddie did indeed get his trampoline. :smt031

A very enjoyable game, I'd say. A popular contestant with good intentions, humour, but not so much that it detracts from the game itself, and a nice amount of money won at the end. For all intents and purposes, it's basically a OPW, since the only way he could have won more would have been to take the first offer.

And £10,000 comes to the table twice in a row!

Yes, an enjoyable game and one I'd been looking forward to for quite a while! I wonder if he had left his birthday box to the end whether he would've taken the offer on 10k/35k (about 20k?), and he might not have swapped for it anyway, so at least this way it was a good finish!

Interesting we have 1 scrooge and 2 santas this year, essentially the opposite of the eggs twist, but I wonder if the banker will ask a player to pick 2 of them and they have to avoid a scrooge, although this seems unlikely as it wasn't mentioned, so it seems as if the banker is being unusually generous this year! :shock:

Interesting game with an 8 box offer that was a lot higher than I was expecting given that they don't want anyone to deal before 5 box today. 8k was just low enough to no deal and then the offers were good but not quite good enough all the way to 2 box.

It did seem obvious as soon as the banker called before Pommy opened her box that there was going to be £35k in it - I'm sure had it had any other amount, the banker's phonecall would have been left on the cutting room floor.

In the end, as feel-good an OBW as you are going to get.

Welcome to another week of shows you can start watching at 4:45 to find it's at five-box already.

This year's twist: 2:1 odds on 4- and 3-box offers, just to make even more sure people get that far. Remember, the Acceptable Deal Point (ADP) for these games is five-box, compared to the usual eight. Oh, and another twist, one which is very likely to be used. And sure enough, first box. And what a cracking round to follow up, an orange and three blues. Freddie gets... a trampoline. Now, how much would that be worth, a hundred quid? Also, what the hell, a generous opener? That won't last.

Especially not now. Noel still calls the board 'sensational' despite the top prize falling by 60%, to make sure he's thinking No Deal. It is, in fairness, super-stable. Was; £50,000 really hurts. Now the joke offers begin, so let's skip to five-box.

Oh hang on, "the banker says he thinks that maybe he should stop Harry getting to 5-box"? Erm, the Banker might think that, but the producer wants every game to get that far, and the two are one and the same. £9,500 is shockingly generous considering, but not enough. And incredibly, even eight-box is dealable! He doesn't take it... and promptly gets hammered with the £100k, only to respond with two blues and a Santa to... get the same offer? Crumbs. 80% of the mean with two blues left, I think I'd be gone even with one to open (with three, it's the easiest five-box Deal since Corinne's). He's going on, and is rewarded with, erm, 80% of the mean with one blue left. It would be irrational to take this after turning down the last one, he duly goes on... oh for pity's sake, do not make me a conspiracy theorist about this show again, I thought I'd given up on that years ago in favour of banging on about the promotion of gambling. Justice is served with the ending, and we find out that the suppliers are hidden in the credits. Interesting, implies that product placement rules are still being upheld strictly when I've definitely seen sponsored prizes on other shows for the last couple of years.

A good game to start the week and it's 1-0 to the Santa vs. Scrooge rivalry :D
