A fairly irrelevant decision all things considered, and the middle reds really did influence the whole game. In the end, the board was mercilessly squeezed at either end, making a moderate result inevitable.

But we know a moderate result never satisfies Endemol...

Out of Red or Yellow, the two I'd have opened from earlier, I'd have opened Red first...

Ramesh with box 18 contains the £15,000

The Banker calls back and asks Brenda if she would like the chance to win the £15,000? Brenda says YES PLEASE...

The Banker offers Brenda the chance of 1 cat...

If she finds the Smiling cat she will win the £15,000

If she doesn't find it she goes home with nothing

Banker's offer:

BANKER's SPECIAL GAMBLE

You can't possibly take on that gamble with one cat. Two, and I'm going for it; 50-50 chance, and I'm only just deterred.

Me-owch!!

An anti-Donna game. This could influence the players for some time to come.

or do we need another Easter themed show again? These Easter specials have produced some nasty results throughout the years.

Wow... what can you say? Up until the box opening, it was fairly exciting despite the lower stakes, and quite enjoyable. Then the twist came along, and through very bad luck she ended up with absolutely nothing! Brenda managed to take it fairly well though (I doubt I can say the same if that had happened to me!) It's weird, really. All the blues up to £100 are practically useless anyway, but winning absolutely nothing seems to have a much more significant psychological impact (15k Kerry's game was a very good example of this in practice).

BTW, if a contestant does win nothing, do they receive a cheque which says 'Nothing' on it? They did that on the Aussie version IIRC, and theoretically you could try selling it for a couple of hundred on eBay. :)

Indeed, anyone named Brenda should not go on the show, only joking of course :lol:

Yes, I bet Brenda (1) wishes she'd never gone on the show....

We can never get through Easter without one total unmitigated disaster can we? Two penny winners and two nothing winners (well 2007 was the exception but there were only three games that year and no silly eggs or cats!), and I absolutely hate them doing gambles once all the boxes are open. Had it not been Easter, she'd have gone home with £5k and everyone would have been fairly satisfied. I feel offering the second cat was goading her into going on and it would have been such a guilt-trip if she refused and would have picked the right cat!

At least THIS gamble was more relevant to the game than Kath's the other day (Tony and Daimon's were last year too) in that they all went to the end and had "won" the lower amount left at 2-box, and the banker gave them (except Kath) the chance to win the higher amount that had been left. Whereas with £30k was just a figure plucked of thin air!!

(Do I ever give the impression I don't like this twist)......

Well Brenda certainly threw herself into the spirit of the specials, if nothing else she will be remembered for that.

A very up and down game, quite literally in that she was alternating between good and bad rounds throughout. I think when she got to the final pair with the cats still in play it was fairly obvious the Banker had a plan to use them post game - though i'm a little surprised he didn't offer the 5 box 'offers after every box' gamble today. And once he went up to two cats I do think it was too good to turn down, shame it didn't work out for her

Now is it just me or did anyone else think of the Monty Hall problem at this point? I just had this gut feeling when the red cat was proved to not be the one that Brenda should change her mind and go for the yellow.
