Lynne, by a long way. Laura's brilliance was in knowing a rubbish offer when she saw one, and refusing to let an exit fee blind her. Lynne, on the other hand, took a massive - but justifiable - all-or-nothing gamble and it paid off.

Yes, Lynne for me too - she could have ended up with virtually nothing (10p) if her gamble hadn't paid off! :shock: Luckily it did pay off, and she's £75k better off! :D

So far in the voting it's looking like Lynne will not be losing her crown just yet. Last full day to vote!

Yay! It's great to see Lynne is still winning - had her gamble not have worked out, she'd have gone away with nothing, give or take 10p, and whilst Laura would have gambled away more money - she'd have ended up with £3k, which is much better than 10p! Luckily for Lynne and Laura, both their gambles paid off!

I voted for lynne because you can't do much with 10p. There would have been NO way that I would have gambled that [ I would have gone by the forth round :lol: ] And because I would have gone hard on myself if I did win 10p for letting some large offers slip through my hands.

But if I was Laura I would think about continuing because the last offer was such a low one, I would want to teach the Banker a lesson. But still, if it backfired, I'd be gutted :)

Two amazing games with 2 amazing players, and I wanted them both for different reasons! :evil:

I would say Lynne was braver, I would definately have dealt at her two box offer since the lower box was only 10p. I don't know if I'd have dealt at Laura's £45,000 offer, but £3,000 isn't a bad sum of money and the offer was ridiculously low for the board.

With 61% of the votes, Lynne is still the DOND Forum voted most courageous contestant. It will take someone very courageous or maybe reckless to beat her! :D

laura i think was just on a bit of a roll the day the show was filmed. Also in the first round she had a relatively good opener bar the £100k, was offered £6k[WHY???it would have been perfectly fine for him to offer £2k!!], declined the swap at the end with two sums of money which may i remind everyone are BOTH VERY large to alot of people, and declining the £45,000 just happened to pay off.


Lynne on the other hand took out the top two in the first round, and made it from disaster and an opener of £111 to £75,000. Now that is courage especially when theres 10p or £75k left. So lynne is miles more courageous than laura and i will always stick to that.

A few of us who were once part of the furniture, once stalwarts of the grand and extravagant, exuberant and thriving forum, have receded back into the walls, still faintly visible, still here as poignant, reminding relics of an era gone by; but most of us have vanished, forever immersed in the mists of time.
