What a strange board that was. Wish she could have had yesterday's instead as she at least knew to turn down £NO_DEAL (and then take the much better 2-box bailout).

Dave asks if the offer would change much even if she takes out the £5k, and Stephen (player) agrees.
1) Where was Dave yesterday?
2) I love the clarification remark, especially because that exact type of agreement from the host might actually have happened in the Channel 4 era...
Funny you ask that, as Chris mentioned that he didn't like other players saying 'if you take out this, the offer will.probably be...' because, in his view, the banker was totally unpredictable and could offer anything. Maybe Dave did offer similar advice and it was edited out? Either way it was evident Chris was terrified of the idea of being forced on and possibly winning 5k. I genuinely think he'd have taken turning down 13k and winning 5k as badly as many players take winning 50p...
And yes, Stephen Mulhern does a very good job of not influencing player decisions. About the only exception was when he jokingly said how afraid he was that someone might take the first offer. You know, those first offers pitched so low that basically no one on the planet would seriously consider them anyway!
