Jill's game today.

Noel says there is a strange atmosphere in the Dream Factory at the moment, as they have the biggest group of party animals ever, and they have received 3 warnings already from the hotel He then goes through his files and says one of the male contestants has a piercing down below And another was engaged to Posh Spice

Today's game should be interesting but not nice as she had £75,000 as she was the one left to last yesterday.

Damn! Well thats game over then... might as well Flog it on the other side. She seemed like a nice person as well, determined to go to the end and all...


That business with the broken camera was good though

Jill has box 22 today. Noel apologises to Jill for giving her a sore throat Jill goes to show us some piccies, but the cameraman is so slow that Noel goes and gets the camera to show us them himself Noel is a little wobbly and out of focus with his camera work Jill shows a picture of her mum when she was 3, and says she would have loved to have been on Deal or No Deal as she was a gambler, as she is now, and Noel says it's going to be a great scrap today. Jill says she is a Las Vegas addict, and loves the place.

Banker time

The ace gambler has had the nightmare round says Noel, and the banker is heard laughing down the phone!! The banker says he got up this morning and was told that Jill was playing today and he felt quite ill, as if she had the £250,000 in her box he is convinced she would have won it. He goes onto to say if Jill was cut in half, she would have NO DEAL written all the way through her...

Is this the turn around we are looking for asks Noel...

Ken with box 20 next, but Noel calls a break...

Hopefully!

Red mentioned something the other day - indeed I knew the £20,000 had been on the table a couple times this week.

But where I come from, "couple" means two, so bearing in mind it has already been on the table a "couple" times this week, is there a chance it could come to the table AGAIN?

With the £75,000 still in play with it, as long as neither are found, this could be a rather interesting payout today...

By the way this game has gone so far, and Jill's seeming Wakeyism, that needs to be a spoiler for this to be a remotely happy game...

Was it just me who thought the £8,000 wasn't far off being Dealable? Ten grand would likely have had me out there.

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

20 - £75,000 Ken


Banker time

Oh no! The most you can win now is £20,000 says Noel... Jill remains positive about her game...

If she is a 'Wakey-ist', she'll win her box contents...this is a real tester though...

We now have a gambling decision says Noel, as the banker will not make this easy... The banker says that not everyone will believe that the £20,000 can appear on the table 3 days in a row, and he also predicted earlier that the 10p was there....

Banker offers

£8,500

phew relaxes I'd deal

Jill says she knows which box the £20,000 is in...

Jill says

DEAL

Jill says that she knows that she is a gambler, but she is not a fool...

Noel opens box 22 and reveals £20,000...

Box 2 - Laura contains the 10p

Good decision as nobody would want to risk winning 10p...unless your name was Steven Wilson!!!

EDIT: Oh NO WAY!

How was I sure £20,000 would be in the box after that was posted...

Wow, i was convinced she would go all the way but i sooo wanted her to deal the £8,500 because of 2 reasons, 1 - I didnt want her to go away with 10p and 2 - The £20,000 had come to the table in the last two days!

But Still £8,500 is a really good sum of money! Enjoy every penny of it Jill

I'm really sorry shes not a coward but I really believed she had 20k in her box

£20,000 for the last three days

I wonder if it'll be £35,000 that comes to the table, tomorrow...

You can't call her a coward for not wanting to risk winning 10p. I'm sure if the other amount was say £250, maybe!

Davey please don't give us clues! If we want to know we'll either highlight a quote box or go to the spoilers section!

What the hell?

I don't know how rich you are but a lot of people who can understand money won't want to risk £8,500 on a 50/50 shot of winning 10p.

Anyway, she turned down £2,500 with a 60% chance of losing at least £2,000 of it!

Well done Jill. It did take less than £10,000 to tempt you at the end, but
I'd have dealt when you did too!

Aww... she deserved so much more than "just" £8,500 - My gut feeling after the game. More bad luck... This sucks...



One word to describe that comment - Stupid. How the *beep* can you call her a coward?[/quote]

I'm not rich Lewis but this is 'Deal or no deal' not 'Deal and nothing else' this show is about the time you have the friends you make. You're only in that chair once have a good go for it and see what happens and be happy with what you came out with. Somebody goes there with nothing and comes out with at least 1p. You actually come back with something.

But I'm sorry if I made any hurtful comments

Utter utter tosh...

What a *beep*.

Yes, it's called deal or no deal. She did both.

She did incredibly well to get to £8,500. A lot of people would have gone at £2,500, I just don't think it's fair of you to call her a coward after that.

I've had it up to here with your *beep* hurtful comments. SHE WAS NOT A COWARD. For goodness sake grow up.

Put it this way clive, Let me hang 8 and half grand over the grand canyon. Would you jump for it?

I might jump for it to see what happens

But I'm sorry I'm just annoyed about the games we've had lately I'm really sorry she's not a coward but I just care about games to be entertaining and how they are going to enjoy it

AARRGGHHH

Oooh go on.

Who knows, you may BOING! back up- and be £8,500 richer.

Please don't be hurtful I just felt she was going to go on then it suprised me that she dealt

The way she was talking her game, I was a tad surprised as I thought she might actually have gone for it. But then again, as I said already, a risk of winning 10p is a big thing so you cannot fault her at all!

So she's a coward because she did something different to what you thought she'd do?

I'm not faulting her I just said that people need to start being more braver and making the most of their oppritunity in that chair I'm not being hurtful I just broke down I'm sorry. Well done Jill on 20k

No shes not a coward I did not understand how that board was but people need to start being braver I only called her a coward becuase I was stressed out and I'm sorry

2008 Isn't the strongest year ever but I put myself into a big hole and I'll be damned if I get out of it I'm sorry

OK OK I wasn't having a go, I was trying to understand.

Was you trying to understand nobody understands we all have a little breakdown sometimes but I was annoyed as Jill was classified as a 'gambler' but dealt at 8,500 pounds when she could've had 11,500 pounds more

Buhahaha.

It was £8,500 by the way.

Sorry force of habit well done on 8,500 Jill

She did something different to what she said she would do a few seconds earlier. That's lieing/dodgy bluffing and it makes for unpleasant telly.

Would you have said the same thing if she had hinted at a deal, but then said No Deal?

She got far enough in the recovery - and showed herself as risk-taking enough - to wind up with rather more than most people would have got out of that game (I may have bailed out at £2,500, I may well not, but there is no way I'm turning down the 2005-esque £8,500 final offer and I doubt I'd have got such an offer either).

We'll never know if she'd have been a 'true' Wakeyist if she had a big-money board - we can only speculate - but that was perfectly reasonable play, taking a chance but knowing when it was just borderline crazy to go on. And the fact it would have paid off - well any final offer No Deal will work half the time and not work the other half, won't it?

Good point.

If she said at a £20,000 offer 'I'm here for £20,000. I am a total targetist and want to deal £20,000. Hey guess what, no deal' then yeah. It's the opposite. Except when lieing about being a gambler, its a dirty trick used to get higher offers. People wouldn't lie and say they are dealers to get low offers would they?

Jill didn't hint at a no deal. She cleary said that only anything on the mean would make her even consider dealing. £8.5k was high but not near the mean and she still dealt.

I didn't like this game - I really liked Jill and had been looking forward to it because she said she was a gambler etc and just seemed like a nice person BUT

I don't see a point where she actually made much of a gamble. I suppose £2,500 at a stretch was a gamble, but it's one most people would make. So I felt slightly disappointed that she actually didn't gamble, though admittedly most of the reasoning behind that was because of the bad luck. Irritating that the one person who said they'd go all the way has a bad game...

To the whole of this thread:

Well for Jill to get £8,500 out of the game was a pretty good recovery and it was her highest offer in the game. It's just a shame she destroyed the board and so she never really had much to gamble on. To be honest I wasn't sure if she actually a gambler or just saying that at the start of her game.

I was kind of expecting her to deal at £8,500 and when she said she wanted the avearge of £10,000, I just had this feeling she was trying to push the Banker's offer up before she dealt. I was actually expecting him to ring up.

Still a good show and whilst I didn't really notice Jill much on the wings she was good when she got to the chair. She seemed relaxed and at ease, despite the way her game went.

I did enjoy that bit with Noel and the camera at the start, though i'd stick to your presenting job Noel. Most shows would edit stuff like that out and so it's nice that they kept it in.

What is wrong with a contestant using these sort of tactics on the banker? How many times has he called back after making a below average offer to raise it slightly giving the contestant the impression that he is doing them a favour, and then getting a deal out of that contestant when they still have a good board.

It's called a gameshow for a reason, it's a game, and if the banker can play games with the contestants, then they can quite rightly play games with the banker. All to often contestants are slated for revealing that they have a target, thus making it easy for the banker to pitch his offers, yet they still get slated if they make things difficult for the banker! Seems they can't win...

Unfortunately Jill didn't really get the chance to show if she was a gambler today as her game fell to pieces very early on. As she and Noel quite rightly said, a good gambler knows when to walk away.

With the bad luck you had throughout your game i would have done exactly what you did you were a good character on the shows hope you enjoy your money. Hope to see you in Brighton.

There are words you can use to describe Jill: brave, courageous etc etc, but one word you cannot is coward. She showed no sign of being a coward from where i saw it.

A nice-ish game...Jill deserved better boxes because we would have saw an awesome game if they went right. Anyway, £8,500 is lovely money. Well done!

It's a shame Jill didn't have the boxes go her way, as we'd have got a very tense show at the least, and that is undoubtedly what DOND needs right now.

I don't see a problem with the player using whatever tactics they can to raise the offer. The idea of the game is to get the most money out of it, so if that's by bluffing that you're a gambler and then dealing at a higher-than-normal offer, then I see no problem with that.

I didn't notice her much on the wings and to be honest it wasn't an overly memorable show, but it had some funny moments such as the thing with Noel and the camera.

As Jill said today "I'm a gambler but I'm not a fool". 85% of the mean on a red/peanuts board is a fool's gamble.

Unless you didn't come on the show for £8,500!

Calling someone who no deals that a fool would be equally as insulting as calling someone who deals that a coward. They're just different ways of playing the game!

I enjoyed this show because I liked Jill's approach, but its absolutely typical at the moment that one of the few players with a gamblers nerve gets rotten luck.

Jill's unshakeable attitude paid off, it certainly led to an inflated final offer, I reckon with 10p still on the board most players would have been offered £6K or less (with the Banker rattling on about his early 10p prediction and the fact that there could be no way £20K would come to the table 3 times in a row). So well done Jill, shame the final box was wrong or would have been an impressive OPW considering the rotten luck.




PS Does anyone know where Jill worked? I thougt I recognised her from somewhere, wasnt at all surprised to hear her say she was from Brighton, a haunt of mine until the year 2000.

Talking of cameras that must be the new job Noels after so get in there man you could be the new host of dond P.S i think he,s going to need a lot of training good luck with the interview
