What I find hilarious is that on the day firefighters have announced strike action in London for, of all days, November 5... we get this episode airing, where someone goes to the end and wins big, and it's definitely not a firefighter. Meanwhile, the last two firefighters in the chair have had two of the greatest self-inflicted trainwrecks on DoND since the recession.

One was Rob, who was the other? The last firefighter I remember was Jim last month and he took a sensible deal!
Anyway, that was great, and really glad a 6-figure win has come through reasonable no-deals where either decision is valid, rather than a stupidly generous banker's gamble when it's left with the 1p, or a SWAP-only offer (or a really crap offer after the banker's seen in the box)!!
Got mixed up with the serving soldier who had no intention of taking any offers... and with Gaz, but forgot until I read the recap he was a naively optimistic student (I'm amazed we don't have more reckless young male players, actually!). Got confused because his board was just like Rob's!
Absolutely seconded that it was great to see a £100k win attained through something other than a
deux ex machina, or for that matter reckless play! In fact, I think that the only other six-figure wins I can say that about are Bunney's (he stayed just about the right side of reckless for me) and the first Gaz!!
