I probably wouldn't be setting this poll if Emma had won the £50k, but anyway...

7 days to vote.

Yes.

I expect everyone will vote Yes.

Well, if anyone votes No, they'd better have a very good reason...

It's going to make everyone want to deal before 5-box if they're worried about that sort of thing happening - I honestly can't remember the last time someone did well out of the Banker seeing in the box, I can only think of Barnaby refusing to swap his £15k away and that was almost a year ago!!!

Nope, he's the banker and he can do whatever he likes.

Yeah, sort of.

I have seen some pretty cruel mind games on the show (Jen from Xmas 2010 springs immediately to mind), but the reswap was a bit too cruel. You can see why he did it though, seeing as his original plan appeared to backfire, and he was getting a bit desperate.

I don't mind the mind games (mainly because my philosophy is to just ignore them and judge the offer for the board). If I've got a big amount in my box and he wants to try and get me cheap then more fool him. If I've got a low amount in my box, then if the offer isn't good enough, I'll take my chances.

Hey, what's going on?!

Six No votes in little more than one hour...




Even if he runs the risk of viewers turning off in disgust...




I gather you didn't mind this mind game, then.

It did carry the risk stated above, though... I don't think you can argue with that.


So that's two of the No votes - where did the other four come from, I can't help but wonder...?

And that's not to say that I don't respect such votes. I'm just surprised that there's so many of them.

Let's put it this way... if you said I had to have a twist and gave me a choice between what happened today and those post-game mini boxes, I'd choose today's every time....

Puts a mocker on people who say DOND is just about picking boxes at random.

I think it was a bit OTT

She was THAT close to a £50k win, but the banker had to ruin it with that twist

It's a game, makes me laugh when people say about the money, if it meant that much she would have dealt at 17k surely.

I couldn't afford to turn down over about 12-15k for family reason's so I wouldn't, it's no surprise that the 250k winners have been young, no kids etc etc.

Well, this poll's only been open just over 21 hours - and already there have been sixteen votes.

And the No ones are still coming - but, as things currently stand, we're split down the middle...
