Ok folks, here is the third and final heat of the DOND Forum poll to find the most courageous DOND contestant before the Final vote-off.
Pick one out of these to go into The Final:

Sam March 4th Sam won the banker's respect as well as Noel's admiration for showing courage in rejecting offers of £21,000 and £33,000 on her way to dealing at the two box stage an offer of £41,000, a comprehensive outright player win. :)

Maxine April 13th Maxine no dealt bravely to be left with £750, £10,000 and an offer of £2,900. She no dealt to win £10,000 :)

Raj May 19th Raj had relentless bad luck but would not accept any banker offer, and put a brave face on winning just £1 :(

Simone May 29th Simone showed her courage as a true gambler in one of the most exciting games in the history of Deal Or No Deal. She reached the 5 box stage with £75,000, £250,000 and three blues. She was offered £25,500 to deal. Bravely, she no dealt. She took the £250,000 out, but was left with £75,000 and £1. Offered £15,500 she no dealt again! Sadly her courage didn't pay off and she won just £1 :(

Ron June 16th Ron rejected two offers in excess of £13,000 before being faced with £500 and £20,000 and an offer of £5,200. Ron no dealt his way to an emphatic victory over the banker by winning £20,000 :)

Shirley June 22nd Shirley rejected no less than £55,000 on her way to winning £20,000, the final banker's offer, still a good result but her courage didn't reward her. :?

Sally July 14th Sally rejected two offers of £18,800 but proceeded to have bad luck on her way to winning just 1p. She showed the same courage that has made her well known for becoming the first woman to cross the Atlantic east to west twice in a rowing boat but on this occasion it didn't pay off. :(

Valerie October 24th Valerie had an unlucky game initially, but had a decent offer of £3,013 with 10p and £10,000 left. She no dealt and took the swap to win £10,000, comfortably in excess of the highest banker offer in the game! :)

Nalini November 9th A classic gambler's game, Nalini accepted no banker's offer, including the rejection of £5,000 at the two box stage to win £10,000. :)

Shirleys board was so good, it didn't take courage to no deal the 55k. Simone get's my vote although her 15.5k offer was crap.

Wakey I agree, although Shirley did lose 35K on the 55K offer, but she did have a lot of insurance at the 5 box stage to avoid a complete traincrash and a peanuts game, and of course if she'd gone all the way she would have won 50K. Simone gets my vote too, more for no dealing at 25.5K at the 5 box stage than her no deal at the end which was also brave.

Thanks rico!

Struggling to decide between Shirley, Simone and Ron. I'll have to think about it then get back to you! :)

It has to be Simone. She was so brave as an excellent five-box scenario fell apart in front of her.

I ended up going with Ron, but will probably change my mind tomorrow!

Simone I thought was a victim of poor offers, £25,500 is a lot to turn down but Billy was offered double that on the same board! And the £15,500 was also rubbish!

I agree that Shirley did have some back up, she had the second-worst comibination of possible boxes left after turning down the £55k, and still came out with her target sum of £20k.

It was the context of Ron's game that made me go for him. WE'd just had three winners of £10 and a £5 in the previous few days, and a couple of cautious deals, and his game picked things up big time. He also had a 10% chance of a 1p/10p last pair having turned down £13,201!

Simone and Shirley it was close between, but then I remembered Shirley unwisely dealt at £20,000 after turning down the £55k, so Simone got my vote.

Why wasn't Madie included in any of the three heats? He took the most daring 'no deal' of all time, I believe.

Madie's was no where near as daring as Hilary's, and Madie didn't go all the way, he did deal at the two box stage.
