Had a quick check back and before today 4 people have dealt during Love Week before using the item that gives them an instant offer (Alfonso and Claire-Louise in 2009 and Jo and Davey in 2010). All 4 did get a proveout offer after picking the player who had been given the special object but last year they didn't ask the player to predict their box contents (Davey's game was the unusual one where the banker offered him the chance to swap the Love God's box for another one on the wings).
So it was probably cruel for Noel to have asked Vicki to make a prediction given there was no precedent for doing so.
So this was actually the
fifth Love Week show in which the player dealt before using the extra offer item?
My memory must be as selective as Noel's then...

Doesn't make Charlotte's deal any less cautious, though, IMHO.
