What a strange man Fin was.

Do you think he was putting on an act to scare the banker, or is he really like that? What do you think?

I think he was just trying tactics ! Psychology and playing the game hard and fast instead of fannying about !!

Either that or he's one of those boring blokes that lectures you about philosophy in the pub when you're winding down after work !!!

The best way to win anything is to Psychologically confuse your opponent.

I think the minute he turned down £44k it was clear it wasn't an act...

I think Fin went into the game with a definate plan, and that was if the big numbers were still on the board he would play on regardless of the bankers offers. He said at the start of the show that money wasn't an issue for him, and he played the game exactly to that statement by refusing all the bankers offers while the big numbers were still in play.

Fin remained very calm throughout his game and certainly showed a lot more emotion on other peoples games, so you could say it was an act for the banker. It certainly won him respect from the banker while the big numbers were out there.

Slightly off topic, to some it may have appeared crazy to turn down the £44,000, but it is only this gameplan that will win the £250,000, anyone else on their way to possibly winning the £250,000 is going to face even higher values that they will have to refuse to stand a chance of winning the big one.

I think Fin was well odd. I'm not into all that spiritual stuff anyway so very sceptical but I just found it hilarious that all he did was close his eyes, and then open them, turn to one side and then just pick a box just like everyone else does! Then all that stuff about putting the boxes side by side and then swapping them. His mind told him to swap, but it obviously played tricks with him!

I've met a few white witches in my life who genuinely had something and amazed me but this guy was a fraud, and he was just another arrogant, greedy player. I must admit as soon as he said he wasn't really interested in the money I went off him, as the best shows have been ones like Julie and Jessica who made it clear how much the money would affect their lives.

I was excited at the prospect of him going all the way regardless but didn't really want him to win big, because if he really didn't care about the money then why should he be the big winner? When he turned down the £44k, I decided to side with the Banker, and look what happened next...
