Well, firstly that has got to be one of the best £10k wins there has ever been, given the dire board of 6 blues and £10k she faced at 7-box. But it clearly wasn't exciting enough for the producers for some reason, and like others I didn't like the way the banker kept phoning back to up the offer when her mind was clearly made up she was going to keep the 10k. It was goading of a particular unpleasant kind.

Also, it kind of devalues the whole point of the game really - to offer the chance of a near-power-5 win from a very unlucky game was quite ridiculous, and it makes the big wins seem less special if they can be obtained by these essentially non-gameplay, gimmicky methods. She had made a spectacular recovery as well, so to attempt to guilt trip her after that took quite a lot of the gloss away from a fabulous comeback, which was a big shame.


I agree with all of this.

EDIT: By the way, I'd score that an a TPW; £10K out of £10,600, but with a note that the player could've taken home £30,000.


Oh yeah, I completely forgot that the opening offer was over 10k. :oops:

Yes! A TPW seeing as the hypo stuff was non-box related :)

I think by the original definitions a game where the player goes to the end can only be an OPW or an OBW but in cases like todays, a TPW seems a fairer evaluation. I think perhaps KP has a point about these definitions being outdated now.

Seems simple to me. Kath went to the end of the game and took a box amount which was less than the peak offer of the game. Therefore it's an OBW.

The fact that she was subsequently given the opportunity to participate in a separate post-game gamble is pretty much irrelevant to that.

Oops, I got so confused by that game that I ended up scoring it wrongly - it should indeed be a OBW, although it didn't feel anything like one, certainly before the twist anyway - about the hardest fought OBW you're likely to get, though!
