The banker said he would not have to pay out more than £20,000 to any of the 22 during Richards game was it? Anyway the reality is, this will happen, because i cannot see anyone going further IMO.

Hope Im wrong and someone wins one of the top three of the power 5. I want a big win so badly. Betty's game seems like a lifetime ago now.

I can't see it either. I think the only way anyone will get more is by winning a power 5 box and he'll only offer 20k on a brilliant board!

I'm beginning to think it won't happen either.

The following is the 22 during Richard's game (including Richard himself):

Maggie - 23 shows (replaced Kelly)
Harvey - 21 shows (replaced Diddy)
Ian - 20 shows (replaced Steve)
Ellie - 19 shows (replaced Elaine)
Richard - 18 shows (replaced Si)
Janie - 17 shows (replaced Hayley)
Andy - 16 shows (replaced Allan)
Deb - 15 shows (replaced Julie)
Steve - 14 shows (replaced Graham)
Janine - 13 shows (replaced Betty)
Len - 12 shows (replaced Sal)
Diane - 11 shows (replaced Sheron)
Harry - 10 shows (Replaced Tony)
Jade - 9 shows (replaced Tom)
Tommii - 8 shows (replaced Linda)
Deano - 7 shows (replaced Jo)
Melissa - 6 shows (replaced Mark)
Bev - 5 shows (replaced Zoe & Zara)
Stoney - 4 shows (replaced Jimbo)
Viv - 3 shows (replaced Heldy)
Don - 2 shows (replaced Emjay)
Sylvia - 1 show (replaced Joanne)

The ones in bold have already played and therefore won £20,000 or less (exc. Richard obviously). That leaves one of Jade, Tommii, Deano, Melissa, Bev, Stoney, Viv Don and Sylvia to win £20,001 or more. Otherwise the banker will be right and it will just re-inforce his power over the contestants.

Out of the ones left I think our best hopes lie with Deano, Tommi or Stoney. And thats assuming they have the sort of board that enable them to have a go.

Possibly Melissa but then again she could be an emotional dealer.

It's not looking good like James said after seeing Harry's 8 box board collapse yesterday.
The banker has control over the offers anyway. He offered Harry 20K when 30K could have easily been offered.

My hopes lie within Jade, she must win big if were to get anything more than £20K

It's going to come from a Power 5 box win after a £20k offer on a board worth £40k, isn't it?

Oh wait, the £20k will be Dealt.

And remember, this is me saying this.

I think The Big Man will do it (Deano).

I think Melissa is a gambler, she's always advised no-dealing when asked in the past. And Stoney could be another hope, as said...

Hey i really like this thread, thankyou for my back-up yeah I watchout, thats all I can say some people who you think won't do and people who do don't (if that makes sense!!)

Xtommiiiiiiiiiiiiiiix (just to annoy heehee ooh watch today ^^) Revenge

Hey Tommii how are you doing these days?

Maybe, but she may have student debts that she wants to pay off, I suppose it's just down to the luck of the boxes

Can i just ask, when i was looking back through some of the past games (i think it was Harvey's) Didnt the banker say nobody was going to get more than £22,500? not £20,000? Im sure he said £22,500 and Noel changed it to £20,000 the next game.

Yes the banker did originally say no-one would win more than £22,500 but then he changed it to £20,000 in the next game I think...

There was definately £20,000 mentioned in there somewhere.

I completly belive the banker and i'm sure he is dead right !

I reckon Viv's the woman to do it. It's always the quiet ones. Remember Maria.

I like your thinking, and I couldn't agree more. I bet the banker will be offering the £250,000 to her if she just leaves!

I've just noticed your post. I think you're right, he did say no one would win more than £22,500 but I thought it was in Maggie's game.
