Why is everyone applauding £7,000? Can't they see how low that is?
Peter took out £20K and £50K and he was offered £15,000. What the heck?!

Because it's far worse on screen for an offer to be met with total silence. The clapping is more out of courtesy when the offer is OK but not great.

1 in 165 actually.
Personally, today's a game where I'd rather see the extra time being taken up by a contestant's personality being highlighted than mock BG's being offered (especially if they are ridiculous ones. I'd say that if the BG is going to be offered with the £250k in play with a unsignificant amount as backup, it needs to be at least £50k being gambled).
That 8-box board was tough to read. Normally with a 3-box game at the top end, you'd go on because there's about an 80% chance of not taking out more than 1 of them but when you have the same odds with the top left, it means you probably have to consider taking 1 of each 3 and 1 of the middle 2 - in which case I'd probably go on hoping the 1 big red wasn't the QM.
Unsure about my feelings of the SWAP offer at the end. On the plus side, it negated a really big offer (£88k should be the motif now but that's incredibly generous so anywhere about £60-£75k would probably be more realistic), although that's not really much more of a guilt trip than the £55k (which I thought was about right and would have dealt).
Personally, I think the question of swapping after the game was at the right time given that if the 2-box offer had been in live play, it would easily have been the most artificial £250k win had she swapped.
I also don't read too much to the banker's jokingly offering the BG. It's been done before where he's asked if the player wanted it and then said "tough". It's not a pleasant thing to do and probably didn't sit well with the positive mood of the game today so I think it was the correct decision in the editing suite.
Altogether, a very enjoyable watch (but with a slight bitter taste of the non-offer at the end)
