I sad end for someone we hoped would have a good game.
I'm surprised none of the pilgrims supported Chris's advice she should deal at 8 box.

Hard to know what to say about that game. One certainly that wouldn't have been done justice last week with the shortened show. I'm one normally who doesn't believe in people putting huge faith in lucky numbers (especially when deceased relatives are involved) but Crystal had such a great attitude that I didn't mind it as much.

Can't blame her for gambling from 5-box but clearly 8-box was the main decision today and assuming that the only bad rounds would have been either the 1 in 56 chance of taking out all the large amount or the 10 in 56 chance of taking out
£75k/£35k/other or £75k/£20k/other, it was justified to go in even if as Chris pointed out, the upside of a very good round wasn't a huge increase.

Another unlucky game. Once things started to go wrong there was almost no let up.

With hindsight that £9k offer was very much worth considering, though even allowing for the fragile stability of the board i doubt any but the most cautious of players would have taken it.

I've said before i have a certain belief in numbers of 'deep personal significance' so no complaints about Crystal putting her faith in box 5, but it wasn't to be

Well, as I said immediately afterwards, he sounded a bit too cautious there.

But, as it turned out, he was right...

Would have been some TPW had Crystal indeed taken that £9k.

Wonder what Deal-Eye's interpretation of it is?

I can say without Deal-Eye that £9,000 should have at least been considered...but given the low stakes many of us would have gone for it really...so fair does why Crystal also did
