poor matt. but well done for playing the game. i really wanted him to win the 50k. matt seems like a top guy and deserved more. when he was crying i just wanted to run over and hug him. 5ks not a bad amount though. enjoy the money

Aww, I was screaming "DON'T SWAP DON'T SWAP!"

Ah well, an excellent game, shame he didn't win £50,000, with the luck he had at the start, he soo deserved the £50,000 Everyone deserves £50,000.

First offer @ £20,000, crazy lol.

I don't agree Matt was the "gutsiest" player as Noel described him though. 2nd maybe, but I think Morris still tops the chart at that, with his whole declining £101,000.

But yea, 'grats on your £5,000.

Well done Matt- that is the kind of passion and courage that will cause someone to win the £250,000 soon I reckon. To get 8 blues in a row is around a 1 in 2000 chance, or to put it another way, would be likely to happen once in around 6 years. All the very best for the future mate, a classic game that provided a lot of entertainment for the watching millions, and you did yourself a lot of credit!

I was just begging for it to be £50,000, for him, and for two £50,000 wins in a row. Has anyone won the same value twice in a row?

1p Sal was a Saturday show... 1p Connell was a Monday show... but there was a week in between them wasn't there?

Nope - Sally played on a Friday, then Buddy won £50k on the Saturday, followed by Connell winning 1p on the Monday. Don't think the same amount's ever been won twice in a row.

He did forget Buddy though, Daniel

Easy mistake to make...

Sad day for Aaron (aka Bushy) today, he's seen his name wiped from the DOND record books completely! Best opening blue sequence, highest first offer (OK I know Khanny had already taken that one last week) and highest second offer.

Maybe we should invite Matt on here to be our next contestant moderator...

Fin £10,000
Donna £10,100



So close...

i can't believe he swapped nobody's never swapped that much money away before, even if he kept the box and there was £5k in there it wouldn't of been as bad. it was hard watching matt cry at the end but it was a good game and well done to him i hope matt still isn't upset about what happened i hope he got over it

I don't get that statement. He won £87,000. Do you mean Lance? or did you not like him or something,

I was dissapointed that he dealed. I really wanted him to win £100,000 but he made the most strange decision ever.

Matt also got another record - worst swap ever. Previous worst was Fin swapping £20k for £10k, I think. (Well, "worst" in terms of "most money lost"...I'd argue that it was a lot better than Connell's swap!)

So was I, Zeddie... so was I!

I've just realised I would never have had an OPW, as you can't swap after you've dealt.

That's a good point!

Who's for bets on Matt being the next contestant to feature on Wakey's signature?

But I just knew, I don't know why, but that game was peaking too early, the first 2 rounds were just too good to be true. The £35k second offer was a no deal really, but I'd have been worried, since hitting anything at the sharp end would slash that offer. After all, there were only 4 out of 14 higher values!!

But that was Khanny part 2 in all honesty, I couldn't be happy with winning £5k after turning down £35k or £48k. I think the only scenarios that I'd be happy with £5k was if I had such a rubbish game that the offers were never that high and it was in my box (such as Emma B), or take a cut-your-losses deal on a fragile board and end up with a blue in my box.

And I was shouting "DON'T SWAP"!

I just hope that this doesn't spark a period of early deals, I know I come across as a dealer, but I do like to see a mixture of dealers and gamblers, I just wish the dealers would have trainwrecks after dealing, and the gamblers to have big money in their box!!

A few players have been allowed the swap after they dealt, Candice I think was the first, Mark W did it as well and I think there was another more recent one.

Roy and Nev also did hypothetical swaps - I think on all those occasions, the post-deal swap had revealed the higher amount hasn't it? I may be wrong with Candice as I never saw her game!
