Some people may consider it to be the wrong option, But I like to see what amounts each player has had, Maybe because I like all these Blackwidowy things.

However I like to sewe the contestants personalities and how strong/ weak their game is also.

I tend to concentrate on offer generosity and the players decisions.
so I voted game strength.

Difficult one to call. It's one of the two with personalities and the strength of the game.

I've voted for the strength of the game, but only because of how much that seems to alter how nervous I get watching the game.

Say a game like Sharron's last summer, I'd have loved watching it coz of the entertainment. But with Lance's that same week, I would have loved the show loads for both the reasons.

What Alexander said - the interest here comes from the decision-making, and the decisions are a function of the board and the offers. And judging a board is interesting. We can all spot a great or a rubbish board, but what about the shades of grey (and there are hundreds in this game) - how do you rate a board with the top two and six blues/near-blues, against (say) Lynne's final eight where the entire six-box five-figure block remained intact? How good is a £250k-and-peanuts final five? How much better is it to have a low red than a high blue, particularly at two-box against a Power 5 sum?

All the interesting questions originate from the board. The player and Banker decisions are the offshoots of that.

I just realised how difficult it is...

The Box breakbowns interest me most
Then The personalities
Then how strong/ weak the game is
Then how mu8ch they have won.

I really don't take notice of the last one... in the < or > thread James was taking the highest then the lowest winners from each week... and I didn't realise!

It's a number of things for me. The main thing though is probably the decision making that takes place, which is why I don't like it when a player just blindly no deals through the game with seemingly no thought whatsoever. Admittedly, this can result in some tense games, but it's a bit boring when they end up knocking out the high numbers after no dealing a high offer.

The other main thing for me is who the contestant in the chair is, which means that a perfect game for me is one with an interesting / very good / very poor board, as well as a contestant whose game I have been looking forward to.

I voted for "how strong / weak their game is".

I tend to focus on the contestants on the wings at the time, some good games like we've had recently bring out the personaltites and characters.

Although the strength and the tenseness of the game makes a big difference as well!

I dont care about boxes from previous games, makes no difference...

For me, personalities come first, then how strong/weak the game is, then how much they win. I don't have a good enough memory to spot who has had a certain box so many times, and I only notice the amounts if the player has it on consecutive games, eg. Jean with the £100k and Joanne with the £50k.

A combination of all of them, but tending towards personalities on the wings and decision making!

For me I like to see the how the game develops and as Noel says "every game is different".

I like to watch the board develop and see what the banker will offer them at each stage and how a player reacts to that particular offer, and then in my opinion do I consider that a good enough offer for the board or should the banker have offered more and then seeing if they made the right choice in either dealing or no dealing.

So I guess for me it's how strong/weak a game is for me. But I also like to see personalities at the table because that in itself adds to the excitement of the game.
