Neil says:

NO DEAL

Banker's offer:

SWAP

Neil says:

NO SWAP

Noel reveals £50 in Box 7

Liz has £3,000 in Box 14

My guess is 250

Banker will let Neil guess the sweets if he gives back the £50.
If he's within 5, he'll get the holiday.

Banker ups it to 10.

Neil says:

DEAL

Neil must now guess the number of sweets.

Neil's guess is 125.

Noel opens the envelope. The number of sweets is 157.
Neil becomes the 9th person to leave with NOTHING.

Oh dear. £7,700 wasn't too bad, but a perfectly acceptable gamble.

And that final twist was worth a punt, but incredibly cruel to see it not pay off.

We can only hope for better tomorrow.

Well, that was the ultimate parlour game ending to DOND. Still, I agree that the holiday was worth the £50 gamble. Noel mentioned he has joined the exclusive group of people who have left DOND with £0. Do we have a list of the other players in that club?

Anyone keeping tuned in to Channel 4 to watch 5 minutes to a fortune?

5 Minutes to a Fortune clashes with Pointless. I'll probably watch on 4OD or something.

A very weird twist with the jar of sweets. All I can say about that is I hope their not planing on using a similar mechanism for The Banker's Birthday Week.

Neil certainly made no wrong decisions today, the boxes just weren't kind to him. I just hope tomorrow's player isn't affected by this.

Neil - April 15 2013

Mad Mark has printed off a list of each player to leave with nothing and has stuck it onto his bedroom wall, where it is used as a target for dart practice.

Nothing? Well.

I'm sure that's both illegal and unlawful.

No further comment.

Danielle (or her boyfriend, I forget exactly even though I was there! ) also effectively paid £50 in exchange for a holiday!

Wow that was quite an unlucky game, I'd have definitely taken the 7,700 offer considering how the game had gone, other than that the 50 quid gamble was worth it, was quite surprised he didnt deal at 5 box!! Hopefully the player has more than one decision to make tomorrow due to the boxes being kinder!

Wouldn't have blamed Neil for taking the £7,700 though it certainly wasn't a reckless gamble, Bad luck just dogged him all the way through right up to the final twist - Banker could have at least let him keep the jar of sweets
