Well it is not just the nightmare round that is included, but all the possibilities of a bad round. I think the point made is that a bad round would lower the offer far more than a good round would raise it, and that is probably true.

There seemed to be a lot of padding in the first half of the game today, I was wondering if Jhillu was ever going to get around to opening some boxes

Hard to tell what he would have done if he'd kept the £250k in play for another round but that was a generous offer at 8 box and i don't blame him for taking it. Yes, he could have had another £5k by going to the very end but I don't think it was really worth it,

Took over 15 minutes to start the second round, wonder if that's a record for the edit? Still, Jhillu's story was an interesting one and set us up for what was a good player-banker battle.

The usual suspects may be shouting "Ugh, caution" but £15k at 8-box was generous for the board and as it was pointed out, the offers weren't going to rise that dramatically at 5-box at least, even with the perfect round. Good to see that even Noel realised this and wasn't his usual over-dramatic self during the proveout when the lower amounts were being found, and even when £20k was revealed in Jhillu's box at the end. A good calm game overall, probably what we needed ahead of the madness that is likely to ensue this week...
