I can see him dealing this offer, but there is another round in it.

And he's dealt. I feel a big mistake coming on.

Mark says he'd go on as the board is like Daphne's, and Angela says she'd go on as it's a strong board. Frank gets his granddaughter down to the table, and she says it's a lot of money but it's unlikely that he'd take out the top 3 in the next round. Frank talks about what he could do with the money, and Noel says this is similar to the same stage in Daphne's game yesterday.

Frank says

DEAL

Good call from the Mark on the wings.

Is that a bad deal without hindsight? Just about. Certainly not the worst decision of the month, that's for sure.

I actually agree with Mark - I think that's a mistake.

One round too soon, the £35,000 going means that the offer is going to be higher....

We're back

Round 5 - proveout

16 - Ioannis - 50p

9 - Lavinne - £35,000

2 - Mark - £1,000

Banker time

Round 6 - proveout

15 - James - £1

17 - Baz - £10

8 - Gail - £10,000

Banker time with £75,000 and £100,000 remaining...

The banker asks how much Frank wants for his dog, as the system worked!

Banker's offer would've been:

£86,000

Frank has £75,000 in his box 20.

OH DEAR... OH DEAR... OH DEAR...

Should have been a LOT more brave.

That 8 box offer, was worth thinking about... but was always at least one more round in it.

I'm sure some of his family had words for him when they found out how much he could have won just by being here for the OHO club.

He had his chance... but blew it BIG BIG BIG time.

Should have believed in his dog a LOT more.... as it cost him BIG BIG BIG money.

Box 21 with Angela contains the £100,000

Noel says that was very cruel and the studio's gone very quiet. Frank says he can still achieve so much with the money he's won, and Noel says that's the important thing.

God, I didn't think it was going to be THAT much of a mistake - I'd have only ended up dealing at 5-box which would have been just about as popular as what actually did happen.

That's certainly one of the stranger things I've read on here in recent times. WOOF!

Oh dear. Why is it that players I like often end up making the really questionable deals that go wrong?

This could be the WORST game of the month.... he will not get my vote in the show of the month poll. If he had gone all the way, then yes he would got my vote.

I'd have got £100k out of this game but it wasn't nearly as bad as some deals we've seen!

The "OOOOOH ARRRRGH" got very annoying as the game went on. I had to mute the sound at some points.

Also, someone needs to tell Noel that £75k & £100k is NOT the second best climax!

So he would have kept 21 to the end, yesterday it had the £100,000 and game before the £75,000... and he most likely would have blown the chances of getting them two away (providing he was live in play at two box and got the swap).

Why do I get the feeling that if someone tried to explain to him very carefully why it's not the second best climax, he'd just say something along the lines of "Piss off"...?

Just as the Banker pretty much does when someone tries to explain to him that Rob sold a £3k box for £8k, rather than a £250k box.

And I'll say it once again - Caroline's game feels more and more like being just a very bright flash in the pan...

(Yes, Kim did win £33,333 - but with all due respect, her game won't be remembered for a very long time. )
