This may sound nasty, but I was glad it went pear shaped.
- Yes, BlairM, it DOES sound - and IS - nasty. You are glad when something goes "pear shaped" for someone else, are you? - Well, I think Gloria is a lot richer than you, however little she won, as she showed style, and courage, and took her bad luck in good spirits.

Not glad when it goes wrong for every other player.


My point is you can't take the game too seriously, it is a game of luck and making such a big fuss over superstitions isn't going to change it.

Thats what bugs me about Noel, if someone's having a good game he makes it sound as if they were really skilled in being able to do it!

You shouldn't be glad when it goes wrong for ANY player. You also shouldn't be glad that someone has misfortune and, that you do, perhaps says something about you. Think about how Gloria feels and then think about whether you think it is right to rub salt in her wounds by saying that you are "glad" about it. Perhaps you need to get out more.

Gloria really was a fantastic lady. Full of fun and had plenty of time for everyone. She had a fantastic outlook on life and I was gutted when her game went so wrong. She really deserved more.

It was such a horrible game, but I had a feeling from the outset with all that superstition talk that it would go wrong. But Gloria seemed really nice and I wanted her to win more. I hate it when players I like don't win much. Her game just goes to show that the game is down to pure chance and systems aren't effective.

I'll overlook the little personal attack there, if I am ever on DOND and people talk about my show I'd be dissapointed if everyone had the same thing to say (for example the general we can't say anything negative about a player attitude on here... ).

Blair

You shouldn't overlook the personal attack on you.

You have missed the point - I am not saying that you shouldn't say anything negative about a player's attitude. THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU DID - what instead you did was say that you are glad that it went pear shaped for somebody else, and that sort of comment and approach to life perhaps says something about you as a person, and where you are right now.

Subject closed - I won't be adding any more posts.

Good bye Blair, good luck, and we all look forward to seeing you on the show upon which occasion I can assure you that Gloria would be willing you to do well, in contrast to what you willed for her.

You can blab all day about "where I am in life"....


It is my opinion and no matter how many times you tell me I need to get out more or etc I will keep it. So like it or lump it.

Well done Gloria on playing the game, it's just a shame that your courage to turn down some good offers for the board didn't pay off. Still, I hope you enjoyed the DOND experience, and it'll be one that you'll never forget - money can't buy experience. I can't reallly say "Enjoy the £5"... but hopefully, you'll frame the cheque and hang it on your bedroom wall as a souvenir of DOND!

A painful game to watch, hate it when there is just continual reds being discovered, a bit like the reversal of Stella's game (with blues instead of reds).

Gloria was a bit quieter in the chair than I thought she'd be - in fact very different than how I thought she'd be seeing her on the wings.

Still, a good game to watch with the superstitious jokes
