Some contestants in the wings open their boxes slowly, whereas others open them quickly. Which kind of box opening do you like best? The slow revealing of the amount, or the fast pickup?

Mostly fast as the slow ones irritate me...

I think the show is all about variation. It would be annoying if every player opened it as slow as Duchess Helen, however it would be boring if everyone was as fast as Raj. Out of them both I prefer slow box openings however I believe all these should be included

Very Slow - Helen
Slow: Denis
Normal - Caroline
Fast - Jaye
Very Fast - Raj

Meh, don't care much. Though I think it works to slow the openings down as the game wears on.

Oh :) I think a mixture is good. Variety is the spice of life so someone said.

Whilst a slow one can be annoying it really does add to the tension, though when Endemol do a cut-away shot to the auidence to extend it either more that can get on my nerves.

Maggie's was a strange opening she had pulled the seal and then just lifted the lid a little paused for a moment and then open :)

I cannot agree more! This is so annoying because by the time they've set the camera back on the box it is already half open!

The player's box opening at the end gets right on my nerves. I can never see the value only half of it!
