Aw poor De :(, such a lovely lady and a great character. I think this wasn't helped by the fact that Noel nearly influenced her decision by constantly saying she had the 35 grand when it was unlikely that she did.

Just to emphasise how bad her game was, the chances of having 9 blues and 1 red at 10-box is 605/646646, or less than 1/1000. Or one-in-a-cowsand. Ahem.

True, although since having 10 blues only would be an even worse situation, the more relevant probability to be quoting here to illustrate the unluckiness of the 10-box board is actually 616/646646. I am pedantic.

(Although that's less than 1/1000.)

I wonder after this game, whether the Muller sponsorship seemed a good idea.


I can see it being on there for a bit more and then replaced, if necessary

Oh my, what a shocker :shock: Absolutely nothing she could've done to avoid that, save taking a cautious £2,500, which I wouldn't have blamed her for given the way the game was panning out. I think that's the first time we've had 9 blues and a red, although we've had the reverse of that with someone whose name currently escapes me... :ponder:

Not a lot more to say, except that De was a fun contestant if slightly zany in her obsession with cows, and didn't deserve such misfortune.

Awful game, incredible bad luck throughout and just when you think it can't get any worse...De swaps boxes to ensure a 1p win.

Thought the 5 box offer was a reasonable get-out, perhaps some people (who don't need a calculator and twenty minutes head start to work out the averages) will say it was a bit low but with a 60% chance of taking out the last red in the final round definately worth considering. No shame in carrying on either though.

Just one of those games.

That would be Sheran from early 2007. At 10-box she had 1p versus every red except 3k and 250k. Funnily enough she had the penny all along!

I was expecting her to take 2.5k actually. I don't know, she just gave off this air that she was going to. At 5-box there were 3 possible combinations:

- 40% chance of around 10-11k (blue/35k finish).
- 15% chance of a half-decent consolation prize (£500)
- 45% chance of pocket change

In a sense, the question was 'Would you like a 40% chance of 10k and a 60% chance of a blue win, or a 100% certainty of 2.5k?' For me, I'd definitely have gone for the former. I'd need somewhere along the lines of 3.5-4k minimum to deal there.
