Noel opens box 16 to reveal £75,000 :shock:

The banker was right about it having a power 5 value!!!

Box 9 has the £10

Ashley is quite disappointed with the result, Noel consoles him.....

Nice one Ashley - Fortune favours the brave and a years salary is mucho grande in anyones language.
Cheers mate

Awwwwwww what a shame, but at least he walked away with a great sum of money :-D

Well done Ashley, I'd have dealt at £19,990 as well

Great deal?

Wow, I was hoping for ANOTHER person going to the end and winning big. Darn it people, THATS why no dealing gets the most excitment.

Wakwy, do you never get bored of saying the same thing every night? We all know you want every player to play til the end, there's no need to ram that point home at every given point.

For what's it's worth, I would certainly have dealt when Ashley did but I wouldn't have been happy to do so. For anyone who needs money, the 50-50 chance of going home with nothing at the final two stage meant that the deal simply had to be taken.

honestly i think the show is kind of a fix, so i would've gone on. BUT if the banker never said anything about box 16, i would've dealt

Shut up, wakey! Ah, that line never gets old.

I'd definitely have taken the £22,063.79 there...it was both a good offer and a crazy amount, and therefore the perfect offer! That last offer was quite mean, but pretty well-pitched, I thought - I genuinely have no idea what I would have done. Glad that Noel was quite supportive to Ashley at the end, though - it was still a nice amount to win.

I think that most people WILL think that was a GREAT DEAL as was said £19,990 is a years salary or more to most people and it's a BIG risk to gamble it to walk away with peanuts.

Yes, a NO DEAL would have provided a lot of drama to the game, but at the end of the day the contestant is there to play the game their way and not to always think how to provide a dramatic show for our entertainment and risk their potential winnings.

If everyone should play the game to the end as you seem to want most shows to be played they might as well just open the contestant's box at the start of the show and let them go away with that amount

How entertaining would that be?

everybody is disagreeing with wakeys comment and saying its bad.

Why cant you accept what he is saying? Why cant you accept his opinion?

Because he says it after every single game.

Thanks, Aaron.

Kestral, I guarantee you there will be THOUSANDS of people who are gamblers, and have tried to apply for the show, only to be turned down because of the huge backlog of people, about a third of whom are probably cowards.

No, they might NOT as well. If they opened Hannah's box at the beginning of the show, she would be dissapointed. But as the game got worse and worse, the £10,000 was the only thing great which meant that opening the box at the end and revealing £10,000 was as dramatic/entertaining as Saj's game.

If i could have afforded to gamble £20k for an extra £55k i would have NO DEALT. I always believed if you avoid the biggest number in 5 box round its for a reason... THE CONTESTANT HAS IT!

What they didn't show in my game is the fact i sat for around five minutes at the end repeating "i know it's in there", and also my saying "*beep*" when i realise it is! lol

I would love to have gone all the way, but as my mate said "it's the first time i've done the sensible thing" and i knew i had to.

Thanks for watching :-D

As far as I can see everyone is just expressing their opinions, can't really see anything wrong there.....

All the opinions are followed up with constructive comments and views, if they were just one or two words retorts that would be different.
