ITS GERMAINE

Hi all, I wont be making a habit of posting on this board but i thought it was only right that i come on to thank you for all the kind comments.
One of my main concerns was how i came across on my show. My aim was to play poker with the banker but in doing that i may of seemed flipant if not arrogant. Unfortunately thats the game. However after reading the threads about myself i was pleased to see that everyone has been really nice. Thankyou.
by the way, i love the site- keep it up.
Germaine.

Hi Germaine... :smt006

Loved your game and I didn't think you came across as flippant or arrogant...

Shame you didn't go away with the ultimate prize but like you say that's the game

Hope you do post again soon

Hey Germaine !
I loved your game and you deserved a high value ! Well done. Come back when you've got time, those of us that haven't made it on love to live vicariously through the stories of those that did :-D

Hi Germaine, I didn't think you came across as being arrogant, you played the game and won lots of money so who cares?
It was a great show

The offers were woeful in your game. Hitting the £75,000 right after the second break instigated not only one joke offer, but two; the £28,000 offer with five on the board screamed 'we want to give away £250,000' to me.

Flippant? Most people would be after those offers. Arrogant? If you were arrogant, you'd have turned down the £75,000 (granted, that would have worked, but what if it hadn't?).

I think you'll keep the distinction of being the show's second biggest winner for a long time to come. (If anyone knows if this is true or not, don't spoil it.)

germaine, it's great to see you on here...the closest really we've ever been to a 250k winner, but i dont think anyone would have made a different decision to the one you made. after all, you could've won much less than 75k

take care

I havent spent it all yet no but it doesnt go as far as people think, I'll still be in debt. I've booked a holiday to Turkey so i can have a look for an apartment. Thats about the only extravagent thing i'll be doing.
(If I'm totally honest..... I havent won enough, I want more !!) LOL.
Anyone know how to get on "who wants to be a millionaire???"

A bird in the hand really is worth two in the bush.

Neefs, I may yet be back.

Thanks everyone.

Great to see you Germaine - you were my favourite player during your time there, I was so glad you won a massive amount. Well done! (ps I thought you were from Sunderland, not Lancashire? - i must be confused - thought you had a geordie accent though!)

Hi Germaine felt so sorry when they revealed the £250,000. Great to see ex players

Hi Germaine

Welcome to the forums, it's great to hear from you. First I would like to congratulate you on a fantastic game and great win.

You came across very well on screen and didn't come across as arrogant or flippant at all.

Can I ask a question that quite a few of our members were debating after your game, I'll understand and respect if you don't wish to answer. At what level would have considered 'No Dealing' on the last offer? i.e what safety level would you have needed the lowest number to be instead of a £1 to go on and take the chance and open your box?

It's great to hear from you and your plans, it's always great to hear how the show has made a difference in some way.
