Typical.

ROUND 5

Box 14 - Oli (newbie) - £250,000
Box 13 - Sue - £100
Box 22 - Martin - £50

Banker time

BANKER'S OFFER

£7,000

Claudia says NO DEAL

£250 going means I'm using the button NOW.

Claudia sadly pushed it too far.

Button pressed @ 49 minutes = she's dealing.

Will it be the same answer for box 23?

Box 7 - Phil - £15,000

Box 23 time

Excellent answer for box 23

Box 23 - DEAL

Contents - DOUBLE

Claudia's winnings go up to £12,000

I agree that Claudia probably should've used it at 4 box as she had the momentum of finding the lowest amount, but she was very clever to select her final box and then say "meh, I might as well use the button", as that got her a VERY generous offer (87% of the average!) that she wisely dealt without hindsight. Besides, she probably wouldn't have purchased Box 23 with five figures, so she probably won £1,000 or £2,000 more than she would've done had she played it differently.

Great game today overall.

Good result from a topsy-turvy game, and a nice bonus from Box 23.
