We're back

Round 5

Karl wonders if he should pick box 10 now, and the Banker calls and tells him to pick it.

10 - £1 Carol

22 - £75,000 Shaun

2 - £15,000 Phoenix

Banker time

What a period we are going through at the moment says Noel, that is really cruel. The Banker calls and starts laughing down the phone.

Banker's offer:

£200

The only good box was the one the Banker recommended!

Two games this month, zero decisions.

Karl says

NO DEAL

Round 6

The Banker calls and predicts the £5,000 will go in the first box!

8 - £5,000 Leanne

The Banker calls and start laughing again.

9 - £100 Tomas

1 - £10 Vicky

Banker time with £5 and £50 remaining

Karl says

NO DEAL

Noel opens Karl's box 20 and reveals £5

Box 4 with Stu contains the £50

Oh my word says Noel, he can only imagine how disappointed Karl is. Karl says he will bounce back from this and he has had a great time on DoND.

Oh not this again...not another period where The Banker remains unbeaten for months!!!

Enough said ; http://www.zshare.net/audio/860451210b323aa6/
Btw if anyone has any better audio of the banker laughing over the phone please share. It was quite difficult to get that clip as on the show you have the contestant talking over (managed to crop out most of beryl) and the audience booing for much of the time Anyway someone may be glad for it as a ringtone or sms alert

I only caught the last part of the show live, but seems he missed out of the peak of the game. He must have been questioning Sherilyns decisions to deal, but this outcome does vindicate it.

The Banker's got it easy at the moment, the boxes are doing the work for him

Once Karl's luck turned, it was all but non-stop, there was no repreive.

Arguably he had an out at 11 box but i suspect it's an offer very few would have taken.

Normally the terrible games are on TV when I go down to the Dream Factory. Let's hope that trend stops because since Dale's game (Derrick's game excepting), the games have either had either cautious deals or horrible luck.

At least he had the 11-box offer as a get out but the board was stable enough to risk going on.

Here's a thought:

This was the third consecutive game in which the player got to 5-box with four blues and one red remaining.

And, as most people know, it's not uncommon in these situations for the Banker to allow the player to proceed one box at a time.

Yet in all three games, he didn't...

Not that it would have changed the outcome of this one, of course, following the first box (and his correct prediction ).

But oh dear, oh dear, oh dear - just £5.01 paid out in the first two days of this month...

And with Andy's 26p win and Sherilyn being possibly even more cautious than Richard to boot, Dale's game is looking like yet another flash in the pan...
