Deano's game today.

Noel welcomes us to a new week in the Dream Factory, and he talks about Katie being the 12th member of the 1p club, and tells everyone to pick themselves up and to remember that today is the anniversary of Laura winning the £250,000....

Nice depressing start

Certainly is basicasic... already we're having Wakeyism forced upon the game.

Deano has box 21 today. Deano tells Noel that Deano is just a nickname that his mates gave him... He is unemployed at the moment, and tells Noel about his spinal problem which has affected him for a few years now... Deano is hoping to set up his own business and hopes for a nice win to help set him up... He has his mum in the audience for support today, and Deano hopes to win enough to help her out as well, as she has helped him so much with his back problems...


Here we go....

It wasn't as bad as some from last month... at least he didn't cry and make the atmosphere totally solemn.

Round 1


9 - £20,000 Namfon

2 - £250 Shaun

14 - £15,000 Angie

11 - £100,000 Natasha

19 - £750 Geoff


Banker time

Please take out the £50,000 before any of the other safety nets...!

That's not ideal says Deano, but it's not too bad...

The banker says that the dark day has been lightened by Deano, and he reckons that he is THE party animal, and he has a card for Deano... It's an unhappy birthday card, and there is a poem about Laura and Katie inside.

Banker offers

£8,500

Deano says it's a good offer and the money would make a big difference...

Deano says

NO DEAL

Laura and Katie - the extremes of No Dealing! Remember THAT!

(Although I'd have had a crash in Katie's game too... and would have turned down Laura's £45,000 I think, though I'd have taken her £19,999...)

Deano says he needs pepping up and goes to Brian

7 - 10p Brian

20 - £100 Danny

Deano says he feels like a bit of a dance, and Noel asks what sort of dance? Jive, break

He then calls a break

I can't make up my mind if I like Deano's attitude or not. He seems quite arrogant. Maybe that's why they chose him to do battle with the banker on Laura Day...

He's not arrogant you're arrogant for thinking so

It's my opinion. Doesn't make me arrogant for having an opinion.

We're back
Last box before the banker

Noel talks about how Deano could be the first male £250,000 winner

15 - £35,000 John


Banker time

The banker says that he is going to reclaim the 7th Jan!!



Banker offers

£10,000

He really does respect you says Noel, and Deano's mum says it's a difficult one... Deano says he has a figure that he would have run away into the carpark for, and Noel gets him to write his target in the book....

Deano says

NO DEAL

Blimey. All that dithering at the second offer doesn't bode well.

Next round

16 - £10,000 Lloyd

17 - 1p Kenny

Noel tells Mark that he'll throw him out of the building if he reveals a high number next!!!

22 - £250,000 Mark E


Banker time

Yeah h2005 how DARE you have an opinion, your soooo arrogant

What a terrible round for that nice young man says the banker...


Banker offers

£3,000

I'm chuffed to bits you think I'm arrogant hun... mwah xxx

Anyway, this game just seems to be a slow collapse... a bit like Glen's game on New Year's Day.

Noel says that £3,000 is a nice sum of money and it's worth thinking about, and others have dismissed it too easily (What Noel is this!!! )

Deano says

NO DEAL

Oh brilliant one year ago a nice young Welsh girl won the qm now we'll be lucky to win a blue. Now we'll have to wait another 10 or so years for the qm to be won uggh I'm so angry

Does Noel know he's going too far?

As for the next £250,000 winner, it'll come with the next Wakeyist to bring it to the table!

Next round

6 - £1 Mark S

10 - £50,000 Glenis

Deano says that this game is interesting as he always thought he would not go all the way to the end in his game...

Noel calls a break....

I'd switched over to David Dickinson now

Oh dear. Its looking dodgy now. He's going to have to be brave now to win a big amount.

Is Deano all show no go?

Just got back and it seems quite a damp game from what I've read

And how dare you have an opinion h2005!

How rude

We're back
Last box before the banker...

This is a fascinating situation now says Noel, as Deano came with a clear target, but is now chasing the money... Mark has been allowed to return, but has to wear the lucky hat pulled over his head!!!

13 - 50p Laura

Banker time

Crikey. It's a game of luck

Laura tells Deano to consider this next offer... The banker says he it pains him to say he is impressed with Laura....

Noel got it up!

I really want him to do well,he's been there AGES!

Noel says he negotiated a better offer there!! Deano's mum says he didn't want to be in this situation...

Deano says

NO DEAL

Correct in my opinion. Whats the point of waiting all that time and dealing for that. Might as well have a shot at the £75k.

desperately poor offer

Well what's the point of waiting all that time for £5 or £10?

Although I'd certainly have No Dealed that as the risk was too low for the reward by some distance. There's a few hundred quid in this even if it goes very Pete Tong.

Pat does it again!!!

The banker calls back and says he has never been more convinced of the £75,000 going in this next round, and Deano says that phone call was pointless as he's already said no deal...

Next round

4 - £1,000 Nikki

Deano thinks of going to Claire next, but then changes his mind...

5 - £75,000 Pat

12 - £10 Claire

Banker time

Not a lot you can do about that one, just a slow-motion trainwreck. What an incredible run Pat's having...

The banker says it's painful being right all the time!

One of the dullest final fives of all time. I'd be mildly tempted but no more.

Deano says he would love £5,000... Deano tells his mum that if he dealt now that she would get all the money, and she tells him to NO DEAL then...


Deano says

NO DEAL

He was a bit rude to his mother there wasn't he? Hmmmmmmm.

I really wanted him to do well. Unlucky Man! £5000 Still good!

Oh WELL look whos ruined our birthday PAT

NOOOOOO £5000

Next round

1 - £5 Simon

3 - £5,000 Sue - Amazing says Noel

8 - £500 MJ

Banker time with £50 and £3,000 remaining

What a horrible game. But only Beryl could have avoided this one. And I'm not so sure about her.

Stick coming up?

It's not... It's not It's not It's not her fault....... Its Not!

The banker asks to speak to Deano.


Banker offers

£1,400

Stick it is - I'm outta there now. Oh wait £100 up. Missed that. I'd have dealt the stick also.

You mean to tell me Cookie that while I've been watching bargain hunter she revealed the 75k and it's not her fault

She can't help what is in the boxes!

I wasn't having a go at her, I was just pointing out she had another red!

What a horrid game. Never really got going. I feel so sorry for him. Not even the lucky hat could work it's wonders.


=[

And £3000 in the box... oh dear.

Noel opens box 21 and reveals £3,000

That was always going to happen wasn't it says Deano...

Box 18 (Newbie Mel) contains the £50

For god's sake Jiveclive, Pat can't help what she has in the boxes she chooses at random.

Was that an outright Player Loss?

Poor Deano! And Jiveclive. Pat does not pick her box out of a bag praying for it to have big numbers in it! It's RANDOM!

How did that get there!!!!

Not quite - there was a £1,300 offer the previous round.

I want someone to win a great amount of money this 2008 last January Bunney, Sarah, Laura, Catherine, Julie the ledgends of dond won great amounts but with Pat revealed big numbers we won't be having squat.

Well... surely contestants know better than to choose her...

There's still 22 values in 22 boxes, it's just that in January 2007 everyone seemed to pick them in a favourable order...

In the end, he obviously made a bad deal!

Quite what Deano's congenital back problem,various operations plus father's death had to do with the show I can't quite fathom but having got us off to a miserable start I was hoping the actual game would brighten things up a bit.

Alas the depression continued and we got very little in the way of entertainment or excitement. Just steady good old bad luck from start to finish and nothing really tangible worth dealing. Having born all that misfortune the final insult was revealing the £3000 having dealt for £1400.

Deano himself wasn't particularly charismatic but full credit to him for taking adversity so well and being gracious enough to realise that £1400 is still a decent sum of money in anybody's book.

I wasn't too sure what to make of Deano, but one thing is for sure, and that's that he had a terrible game. It was just a slow trainwreck like Glen's from last week, and they're always the worst. At least a mid-game or late-game crash is more memorable, but when the big numbers just go one in each round, it's a bit standard and unfortunately nowt special. It was a shame the game didn't pick up,and to make matters worse, he had £3k in his box after dealing £1,400.

OPWs and even TPWs seem to be a rare thing these days. Still, at least Deano got a meaningful sum of money from it, so well done to him for salvaging something from it.

Really not was needed after the 1p win on Saturday, but at least it was a usable sum, and not too painful as the highest he got offered at a dealable point was £3,001, at least he didn't lose any life-enhancing money. You just knew the 3k was in the box after the deal though.

It was one big hit every round really - 100k in round 1, 35k in round 2, 250k in round 3 (the bit with Mark was the highlight of the show), 50k in round 4 and 75k in round 5 (one of these days, some will leave Pat till the edn and she'll have the 1p).

Was I also the only one who was willing Laura to have the 250k given the anniversary - providing she was left till the end of picked after a deal?

Not the aniversary we wanted guys I'm so dissapointed now we wait and wait. 2005 and 2006 was better than these years.

Pat oh yes Pat she is evil woman ruined Ollys game, Ians game, Sandras game, Hayleys game, Stus game, Clives game and Deanos game. I would'nt be suprised if on her boxes theres 666 written in biro.

Deano was very posh in his game I thought he would have that heavy northener cockney tone to his voice. He was like a ginger... sorry ''strawberry blond'' victoria beckham.

..................

How can you say she is evil?

She does not control what she has in her boxes!

Was Michaela evil for having £250k 4 times in a row? No.
Was Stevie evil for having big numbers? No.
Was Jean evil for having big numbers? No.
Was Aileen evil for having big numbers? No.
Was Joey evil for having big numbers? No.
Was Phil evil for having big numbers? No.

Is Pat evil for having big numbers? NO!

They are not evil for having big numbers Pat is evil for revealing big numbers at innappropiate times. She is evil for revealing numbers at wrong stages there is my point.

I admit that i wasn't the greatest fan of Deano but he deserved a better game than he had.

Then again, £1,400 is a nice amount of money.

And jiveclive, shut up about Pat and high numbers, its not her fault that she has them or is chosen to open her box at a bad time..

Deano is a wonderful young man,very polite and good fun.if you knew him you would change your opinion

jiveclive. you obviously don't understand how the game works. Let me explain. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.

Each player picks a number AT RANDOM before the game begins. Each number signifies a box, which contains a sum of money. ONLY the independent adjudicator knows how much money is in each box.

A player is then chosen. The player does not know how much money is in each box.

The player then picks, AT RANDOM, individual players to open their boxes. Some will have high amounts, some low. After each sequence of box openings, the banker will make an offer, based upon the money remaining on the board. The player will then decide whether to accept the offer.

Do you follow? It is all entirely RANDOM, therefore to suggest that one player is evil because the player picks them, AT RANDOM, and reveals a high amount which that individual earlier picked, AT RANDOM, is completely absurd and indicates that you don't understand the basic premise of the game- Chance.

Apologies if I have bored other posters who understand DOND, but I can only assume from JC's posts about Pat that he doesn't.

I'm sorry she is not evil she is just caring and nice but there are my favoruite contestants who I like and she justs well tears their game apart. I think she is funny before she opens her boxes. When her game comes I will watch it and wish her the best.

I DO understand dond 22 boxes picked at random playing for 250,000 bla bla bla

And east wing Pat welcome to dond website I think you're a lovely contestant hope you do well

Blimey, this site seems to have acquired even more nutters than when I was on here last...

First show for me for a while - the wings seem to be full of Northern men and younger women. It's a bit like watching Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee all over again.

Deano seemed a reasonable sort of chap who didn't really get the chance for a shot at the big money but took it all in good grace nevertheless.

Whose Birthday was it anyway?

Cookie, I agree - this game is one of mere luck/chance and is totally Random. It's purely Deano's fault for "ruining" his game.
As for the offers: Too high, once again. And Noel seems to have gone mad.

Welldone Deano on £1,400

So one year since Laura won the £250k and I was hoping for a nice rememroble game to mark the occasion...oh well.

Deano was nice enough but the game itself was just plauged with bad luck and to be honest thinking back to monday now i'm actually struggling to remember the game itself.
