I liked Sam in her game despite not really taking to her much during her time on the wings. The bit with Mac in this game was very funny - he looks like he could turn out to be a legend in his game! I wish Noel would stop going on about "What are the chances X will be here two days in a row", when the chances are 1 in 22 at the beginning of the show and 1 in 2 at the 2-box stage and nothing will change that! There is a psychological element of "It can't be here again, can it?" but mathematically, there is no basis for this at all!
I was surprised Sam no dealt the £8,000 offer as she seemed to be deliberating so much over previous offers... I did think her boyfriend should probably not have acted angrily when she no dealt the £8,000, but at the same time I can see why he appeared to react in that way!

:roll: Does Noel have to that same "At least they played the game their way and were true to themselves" speech every time they play to the end and lose? It wouldn't be so bad if he gave the same treatment to the players who dealt too early!!
Haha yes, I noticed this too... this is the new Noel though - the neutral one left ages ago...

Yeah that's where she slipped up. If she hadn't said that then the banker would have more unsure of her and she might have got higher offers. We don't know that for sure though and i wonder if she would have dealt a much higher offer at the final pair?
Her partner could also have been more confident and a bit quieter.
Always a dangerous thing to mention financial targets - like hannah talking about her £2,000 debt resulting in a low £2,000 offer for her final two - an offer which was low of the board due to her revealing her target and the banker offering her target to try and tempt her out of the chair, although for her it didn't work and she ended up no dealing and winning the higher amount!
Enjoy the £750, Sam!
