A mildly questionable call in my book; a couple of grand the other side of £20k and that's a very tricky call.

Round 6 - proveout

22 - Dale - £10,000

21 - Chris - £3,000

3 - Wendy - £20,000

Banker time with 10p and £75,000 remaining...

Hopefully the Bankers Gamble.....

The banker says again that he still thinks Zoe has the 10p, and would've said he wouldn't offer the swap.

Banker's offer:

BANKER'S GAMBLE

Obvious BG situation with the prior theming.

Hopefully the first Bankers Gamble this year is accepted.

Either way, hopefully a spanking.

Given that she took the 8-box offer it would be consistent to reject the gamble here.
I'm not sure if I would...

Noel reiterates that no swap will be offered. Wendy says this is like betting on two horses that aren't favourites, and it's a big gamble. Zoe says she's a gambler, and she brings her fiancée down to the pound table.

Zoe says

NO DEAL

She keeps the £18,000.10.

Noel opens Zoe's box 4 and reveals 10p

Phew... good choice.

Box 5 with Paul contains the £75,000

Noel talks about the 10p theme that ran throughout the show, and how Zoe had it in her box!

Definitely the right decision not to take the gamble; too big a drop to risk. Not a bad game, and good to see an OPW too!

Defensive play this time, but another OPW to follow yesterday. A very pleasing game all told.

Great game that, although the 10p thing was a bit weird lol .

I started watching after the first break on C4+1 so with Adam I presumed someone had forgotten to tell him that the Panto Specials are over

Can someone tell me when Zoe first appeared, please? I was hoping we'd get to see her in her duck outfit over Xmas, but I couldn't remember when she joined. Thanks.

Slightly cautious deal there - but it's another good one.

I eagerly await to see what Deal-Eye would have done... surely not a fourth consecutive defeat?!?

H, you're making the fiancée mistake again!!!!

[/pedant]




This was her 21st show - her first was Clare's game, the last one before the Panto Specials.

Thanks for that. I must've thought she was there longer. They missed a trick by not making her dress up today

Perfect use of the BG there I'd say - it's good that it's only wheeled out once in a blue moon, than seemingly every week like it was 2 or 3 years ago.

(And a much better deal amount to offer it on £75k/peanuts, than ones like Cheryl and Bel, or even Stu's that was way too high!)

And the fact that she wouldn't have been allowed the swap will fuel the conspiracy theorists.

A lot of people seemingly eating their words with that result (or maybe just one...).

Same finish and virtually the same amount dealt as a certain Justin when he accepted the Banker's Gamble... Good job nobody told Zoe that because the outcome would have been nowhere near the same!
