We're back

Round 5

10 - Em - £75,000

17 - Brenda - £1,000

That's alright, says Noel.

11 - Ken - 1p

Banker time

One gamble vindicated. Offer goes up, and again it's above the backups on what is now a one-box game - I think it's time to go now.

The others give Karen advice, and highlight how if she takes out the £100k, then it's game over. They tell her she'd have to pull out 2 blues now to get a better offer. Karen says she knows what she'd advise others to do here.

Karen says

DEAL £12,000

Round 6 - proveout

21 - Deb - £10,000

18 - Andy - £100,000

Karen screams with delight!

20 - Jie - £750

Banker time with £10 and £5,000 remaining...

The banker says he's mystified why Karen's single, as she spanks on a first date.

Banker's offer would've been:

£1,200

Karen has £10 in her box 8.

Box 19 with Max contains £5,000

Noel confirms this is a banker spanking, and Karen says she can't believe she's done it.

Good work with a not very good game. Can't argue with that!

Had 10000 men .

Since when is one's bank balance at stake? What ever you do you win money.

I iked Karen and she played a great game. I'm glad she got a sbanking.

Good game! A brave no deal is justified, followed by a right deal and a brill Spanking! Great stuff!

Well, an OPW that came from a fair deal is indeed a fair result

Loved that game. I just wish they had kept everyone dancing. Graham made me laugh.

Fair deal, with only 1 above the offer it's easy to see why she dealt. The decision was justifiable either way, but I'm glad it went her way.

Usually to make a proper spanking you have to make one no-deal that scares you. That usually gets the banker worried, then to deal after taking that more generous offer is a good way to play in my book. Great OPW, well played.

Great gameplay by Karen there, she played the odds at 5 box and it paid off beautifully. Short of having one of the Power five in her box that was never going to be a big money game, so to get out at the peak was a brilliant piece of luck

And what a lovely bubbly charecter she was too.

The sort of 8 box board and subsequent offer (about half the average) which justifies my 8-box strategy. Luckily, she kept the biggest one of the 2 in play (had she take the £100k out, I fear she may have been forced on to 2-box) and got an OPW out of it. I'd have been satisfied with my TPW today.
