Thanks for all your lovely comments guys, im really glad you enjoyed the show.

I didnt realise i was letting the cat out of the bag there with regards to the post deal reactions. Dont get me wrong here guys, im sure that the vast majority of the reactions you see from contestants are real and genuine, but what the production staff are trying to avoid is the situation where someone has dealt early in the game, and then almost disregards the rest of the game, with an "ive got the money so couldnt care less now" attitude towards the rest of the game.

As Noel says, the player should continue the game "as they would have played it" if they hadnt dealt. I do agree with this as it gives the viewer as accurate an idea as possible what WOULD have happened had they not dealt. This isnt possible when the contestant is no longer interested in the game and just picks a number randomly or strays away from there system.

The viewers are bound to lose interest if this was the case. They are also bound to lose interest in the PLAYER, if they feel that he/she has no regard for the amount of money that they have potentially lost.

Hope that clears things up.

Well done Paul and enjoy the money!
