Banker's offer would've been:

£101,000

6 figure offer would be believable here..... and it is.

Inspired play to make the holiday offer. Would he have taken a flat £20k at that point? I don't think so.

The holiday clinched it for the Banker...top marks to him! If he didn't, who knows what the win would have been today

I do wish that Noel would ask players the hypothetical Deal or No Deal question before the hypothetical swap question.

Noel says that's one of the biggest offers ever.

Noel says the SWAP is guaranteed because the £250k is in play, and Craig says he'd have said SWAP.

Noel swaps Craig's box 12 for Lee's box 13...

Craig's new box 13 has £15,000

Craig's original box 12 now with Lee contains the £250,000

Noel says Craig's played the whole game with the £250k on the table!

This show was filmed in January. Let's just hope he didn't choose to take the holiday sometime in the last month or so.

Looking at Icelolly.com, the most expensive 7 day holiday for Rhodes is about £1,500 per person (and I'm guessing it wouldn't be a 5* all-inclusive holiday offered).

Certainly been a week of contrasts with big money coming to the table but not with configurations that gave contestants a reasonable gamble of winning it.

I don't really see why that matters. Besides, I think we can realistically say that he would have taken it!

Certainly an interesting game, though the "put everyone that reveals a blue in jail" gimmick seemed very artificial and tbh a tad annoying. Oh well...

And we finish the themed week with another mis-match, the luck is coming to the table , but those 2 games they were involved in are denying the huge wins

I know and the fact that he would have taken the £101k makes the swap irrelevant so you might as well do both or neither.

An interesting end to the week, I think the one-to-open final round and the Banker's canny offer of a dream holiday at 4 box saved him a lot of money* I think losing the £35,000 backup introduced a sense of caution to Craig's gameplay that if he'd had to open three to get to the next offer wouldn't have been a factor.

Still got to hand it to the man, he pitched it perfectly




*On a side bar do these holidays classify as the Banker's money? Or does the show get them free/discounted in exchange for the plug?
