Round 6 - proveout

Box 18 with Rosie - £250

Box 10 with newbie Chantal - £50,000

One shot, says Noel. He remembers Olivia had the £250,000 at the end of her game as well, and wonders if it'll happen again here!

Box 21 with Montana - 50p

Banker time with £10 and £250,000 remaining.

Blimey what are the chances of that?

Amazing, says Noel.

Banker's offer would've been:

£73,000

Grant says that would've been nice.

Noel reveals £250,000 in Grant's Box 16!

That is some relationship you have going there, says Noel, as Grant and Olivia could've won £500,000 between the two of them!

Box 3 with Douglas contains the £10.

Grant says that's very disappointing, but he's enjoyed the experience, and £14,000 will do loads for him and his family! He performs a quick trick to end the game!

A VERY deserved Player Spanking there. Grant should've either been PROPER cautious and dealt the 1st offer or been more brave and went on to 2 box. ANOTHER very easy mega-money win blown away.

Do you think they edited out Noel asking about the swap?

Box 3 seemed to mean more to him than box 16, so I thought he was going to swap there.

I wish Noel didn't mention that looking for love rubbish.

Did not watch (last day of the cruise) but looks like another very cautious (x unlimited) deal and player. We all know he would not have won it.

I think of that every time one of you posts...well, any comment at all, actually...

(Disclaimer if required - that's actually a fairly accurate representation of what goes on in my own mind on a constant basis, albeit in slightly different form; so I don't intend to make fun or mimic, or anything of that sort with this.)

Well at least I've stopped posting stuff like

And I've stopped posting oh dear and if only moments, on this forum at least.

Oh, and to stay on topic, it's very ironic that Grant and Olivia are in a relationship, especially considering they had VERY similar games, with both having an insanely generous opening offer that tampers off in generosity, dealing at the lowest point in their game, having the £250,000 in their box, and, to put the cherry on top, holding the record for the highest value Player Spanking (Olivia holds it if you count hypo-swaps, Grant holds it if you don't).

You haven't stopped complaining constantly... that's the point...

Well, if I GoCompare him on this forum to him on 'the Dark Side', he's fairly subdued here...

Tough game to play. An incredible strong start with 2 really good offers to start and then gradual erosion of the strong position to 8-box and 5-box boards where taking out the QM was going to mean either having to take a lower offer or risk going to the end. Sadly he had the QM in his box which meant that was never going to happen.

Wasn't in for this game so will have to watch it back later as Grant sounded like quite an entertaining character.

£17,000 was certainly a generous opening offer but with a strong board it was probably worth another shot (certainly compared to Steph in January, who was offered £16,500 at the first offer after taking out £10k, £20k and £50k!) as another decent round would probably get a similarly generous offer. The £14k at 8-box was more cautious in comparison, but ultimately you'd have needed to keep all 3 big numbers in play for the offer to be significantly higher (and for all we knew at the time it could easily have been one of the other two going instead of the £35k in the next round).

I'm sure Grant and Olivia had a good laugh about the similarities in their games afterwards.

Such an odd game. The Banker really threw Grant with that high opening offer, then took advantage of the reaction to keep his offers in the same ballpark for as long as he could . It's just a shame that Grant had dealt by the time the board picked up significantly enough to force the Bankers hand

Very interesting sound clip. What is claudia schiffer effect style

Anyway, with respect to ACB, kudos for calling the player spanking. The contestant could have dealt at 17box and then they could have called for a volunteer from the wings to play the rest of the board.

As Fergus said, I'd also love to know if the hyposwap was offered. The many cries from Noel for "proveouts with honesty" do not go unnoticed on this forum when a guaranteed swap would have been given in live play.
