I don't think his was that bad actually, compared to some of the ones that there have been since.

Wilf dealt for less than Richard on an almost identical board so you can rule Richard out straight away.

Another one I can remember is Ronnie who played Nov 09, think he took £16k with all the power 5 there and some low reds too.

Ah yes, Ronnie - I remember StatsMan thinking that Noel pushing him on at that point may even have hilariously been the cause of the Deal. It's remarkable how many questionable decisions in both directions we've had in the last 18 months really isn't it, considering everyone knows the game now...

Then that would technically mean Suzanne won £100,000.

Given Rob's mental state at the end (as described by a FM on here who was at the filming), I think you can really discount the fact that he said he would have swapped as being a decision made under normal circumstances.

It might have actually been a rare case where the production company ought to have found out which box had the QM in and made sure that that box didn't end up on the table when Noel opened it.

Rob had already dealt by 2-box though; Suzanne was in live play.
