Lets not forget Daniel everyone!! He is doing a good job too

Well done Karen, I thought it was going wrong for a minuite...

I was IMMENSELY disappointed when i heard DEAL at such a crap offer, but I'm relieved now...

That was a brillliant game, another OPW as well. The contestants are on a roll at the moment!

Brilliant game throughout, with very good timing! £33,000 odd well deserved.

readind the thread as i missed the show, £33,316 at the 8 box stage was quite poor really. And they were really low proveout offers. I'm glad we've had a high win but the banker could have been a bit more generous.
19.5K was a clear no deal. (cheeseman had a hypo 41K?!)
i can't see why the banker would offer 19.5K on that 5 box board!

£33,316 at the 8 box stage doesn't make Steven's 11 box deal at 27.5K look so bad in perspective. (not that it was as big a deal as Noel tried to make out).

Missed this game...

...want to see it now

Absolutely *beep*ing fabulous OPW, loving how Noel seemingly tried to send the proveout offer past the Deal point with the £250k gone!!

I'd have won £12,500... actually I'm not positive about that, I could easily have gone on and won 50p... maybe swapped for £50k, maybe not... who cares? She got over £33,000!

I missed it too. i'll be watching it on more4 later. you read most of my thoughts out loud!
Still the average win over the last 3 shows is almost 29 grand so I won't be complaining too much either.

19.5K as a proveout offer?! - the banker is a moron!

I'm never a fan of noel during proveout but strangely today he had a point.
It was quite possible for the offer to be high 30s with that strong stable board. 19.5K was ridiculously bizarrely deflated!

Well done Karen - perfect timing, it was tempting to go another round with the big four there, and I probably would have done just that and ended up having to bail out at a pretty insulting final offer. The Banker's not having it his own way this series so far!

Wow, well i thought she'd blown a lot of money there..but well done!!!

That 19.5k offer at 5 box...what an awful offer...

The mean was 45k

I know, offering less than 30-35K there would have been stupid.
The banker would normally be shooting himself in the foot.
19.5K was an absolute no brainer of a no deal! - strange banker

All the power 5 were in the east thing today

£35,000 - Alex
£50,000 - Brian
£75,000 - Annie
£100,000 - Siobhan
£250,000 - Vicky

and I think this last happened in scottish Johns game.


£35,000 - Helen
£50,000 - Ottis
£75,000 - Sarah
£100,000 - Emi
£250,000 - Sal

I was about to comment on my two favourite females on the show side by side, having both the six-figure boxes today!

SCARY!

Just finished watching on 4od, free for the day it's on.
A wonderful game, gutted she dealt, but how right was she, nail biting stuff. So pleased to have DOND back, If games stay like this, it's gonna be a great season

I notice all this stuff too!!

It happened lots with Donna (2) and Crazy Rosy with the power 5 a lot too!!!

Thanks for that, it is updated now

Remember the days when all the episodes were depressing blue wins and it was terrible to watch? Yeah, I don't miss those days either.

God, I love this season. The contestant with the big red won it and the two with blues dealt for more! I did think she'd gone too early when she dealt, and that was incredibly painful when the blues started to go post deal...but then to take out £250k, £100k and £75k in turn, and then have a paltry 50p in the box was amazing! Well done on your £33,316 (I think), Karen, an fantastic Banker beating!

It was all going so well until she blabbed about being up to her neck in debt and being advised by her brother to deal at £20K whatever the board!

The £33+K offer at 8 box with that board was poor but quite frankly the banker knew he could get away with it. She probably would have gone for a lot less truth be known. The 19+K offer at 5 box seemed ridiculously low considering the strength of the board still but is probably a fair reflection of what he could have got her out of the chair for. And its fairer than the ludicrous inflated proveout offers of a few months ago.

So another big win with a blue in the box. What a cracking start to season 3.
