He was so unlucky that he deserved to get £10,000.

P.S. Hello by the way, I'm back!

What a really great show it was today- a bit worrying at first, mind, with nothing but reds going, but somehow Michael managed to turn it round and won a really great sum- and thank God he dealt when he did too!

I LOVED the flower jokes!

Well done, Michael!

I think the producers/editors are overdoing the Pat thing slightly at the moment, at the expense of letting the viewers get to know some of the newer contestants.

Amazing turnaround from Michael, was certain he would walk away with a "blue" amount. That type of last five (£250k + rubbish) has to be the ultimate nightmare decision, the offers look insulting but there's a 60% chance of disaster. I would have gambled that as I don't think I could walk for less than £20k with the top prize still on the board!

I wish he'd kept the £75k in, then he'd have got a properly good offer. Still, £10k's not to be sniffed at...

I noticed this too. Audrey and Irene's games (which interestingly enough took out the exact same boxes in the exact same order) are seemingly forgotten, like Shell's game was in Aaron's. Noel's getting forgetful in his old age

Good game!

I have a feeling it's because he said it by mistake to someone one the east wing who's one of the newbies, either Simon or someone else can't remember who it was, but it wasn't actually their first show(!) So I think to cover up he said it to whoever opened the next few boxes as well to make it sound as if he was just welcoming them to that game on that day, as in, they were then in play in the game.

Prat, I swear he has a memory like a goldfish sometimes

Who, Noel?

yeah Noel makes so many mistakes like that...and everyone just believes what he says

Don't insult goldfish

I think he focuses all his energy on committing the members of the 1p club to memory, so he doesn't have enough room in his head for anything else.
