This has been quite an issue recently, with Rich and Psychic Sarah, what are your opinions on this, or is Noel taking it too far?

I have an open mind on most subjects, including psychic powers. I don't disbelieve, and Sarah did seem to be right more times than she was wrong.

I don't really mind, but as long it is with in reason, if it happened with every player every day then the show is doomed! DOOMED I TELL YOU :? :lol:

The first time it happened that I can recall was with Kai back in 2005 and there have been other obvious examples since. It certainly provides another interesting dimension to the show, and it can be entertaining, although there is a danger it can get overplayed. It seems that a lot of contestants when asked if they have any feelings for their box point to how many high or low numbers they've had in previous shows. This shouldn't make any difference to the chances of them having high or low numbers on any given day but it still seems to be something that is taken into consideration by the player at the table.

It's quite entertaining, but it shouldn't be done every show like it was with "Mystic Rich" as he was nicknamed by Noel. :? I have an open mind on these things, however, we do have to remember that even if at the start of the game if someone correctly predicted what was in their box - there's a 1 in 22 chance they're correct - hardly 1 in a million... so there is a chance that they will get it right at some point.

I do not like when a contestant asks another contestant what they think their box contains - as if the contestant chooses their box, then it is found the prediction was incorrect - there could be a bit of bad feeling!

One of the best (or worst :? ) examples of this is back last May, when after having a very bad first four boxes, Jason asked the other contestants what they thought they had in their boxes - they all said they didn't know, except June - who said she thought it was a blue - he went for her box and she revealed the £250k! :lol: :?

I think the show has an equal amount of everything - superstition, stats, emotion, comedy and gameplay. I don't mind what they do with this psychicness, as long as it doesn't go too far.

It's worth pointing out here that the original Dutch version has beaten finalists from the audience quiz opening the other cases, and they can win money by guessing what their case contains. (This transferred to the Australian version too.) I think that's just brushed over and treated as a chance to give away even more money on the Dutch show, though there's the odd gasp if someone predicts they have a seven-figure amount... not sure about the Aussie version. Obviously neither develops contestants over multiple shows like us though!

It doesn't bother me as much as such irrationality should. It's a reasonable 'storyline' to use from time to time.

I don't mind it.. but if they go on and on and on and on and on and on about it, then it does get really annoying.
