I'm sorry, but I have to say there is a line between bravery, stupidity and greed. I think Di's no dealing of the £44,000 crossed the line into "greed" territory - especially after she saw what happened last week, where several players went away with peanuts when they could've safely dealt at higher offers.

Either she really was mad, or she had been influenced by Noel's in recent games, whereby he has (more or less) implied that dealing is the wrong attitude to take...


She also had to consider the other games that went wrong, because the person dealt.


I think in the last week, there were more games where the player could've got more by dealing earlier in the game, than by going to the end.

Well, I think Kelsie's game swung her the most. Maybe even Patrick's!


That is true, and Noel often makes a HUGE deal about it (pardon the pun :lol: ) when people deal too early........... but when people deal too late, it's often brushed under the carpet (Sheran and Rich are two recent examples I can think of, off the top of my head).

The only reason I think she took the £8k was becuase she couldn't face going home with 10p after turning down £44k. But she should never have got herself into that situation!

It really was Madie's ending all over again, except he had the blue in his box!

IMO what the offer should have been would hopefully not alter my decision - ultimately I hope I'd weigh up what I could lose/gain and the odds. Otherwise I think you stand to go chasing money you feel you *should* have been offered but weren't, potentially when the odds are heavily against you.

I've no idea why Di didn't deal on what seemed like an inherently risky board - was it greed, was it not understanding the odds? Who knows?

I think Di was being a complete tool not taking the 44,000 and the look on her husbands face looked like she was getting divorced when she got out that studio. :lol: I have no sympathy for her atal. It was her own stupid fault.

There has to be sensible balance between taking a risk and accepting reasonable offer. Di seemed such a nice person but when she said 'but I have come here for 250,000' came across as greed to me. I agree look on her husbands face said it all.

You know...some people here are complete hypocrites! For the past 2872398 years everyone's been moaning about Noel criticising people for Dealing, and on Monday the majority of people were quick to stand up for Kelsie for doing what was right for her...and now Di takes a big gamble and the same people call her stupid and greedy!

I'd have taken £44k in an instant (well, I'd have taken the £30k really), but that doesn't mean I think Di should...if she thought it was worth risking for a shot at the £250k then fair play to her, and I was sorry it didn't work out. Why is someone turning down what's widely believed to be a cast-iron Deal seen as so much more dreadful than someone taking what's considered to be a cast-iron No Deal?

Gameplay aside, I liked Di more than I thought I would...she still unsettles me a bit :? , but she did make me laugh a lot. Similar to the original Di Please in some ways.

I found her a bit annoying tbh, I can't stand it when people overplay the dizzy card just to get a laugh.

This game is getting ridiculous now. Why did Kelsie's significantly better board deserve a much lower offer than Di's?

Di took a big gamble, I would have taken the last three offers, but I don't think I'm particularly cautious.

Because Kelsie was very cautious and Di was a big gambler. The fact that Kelsie Dealt and Di didn't proves that, I think...

I dont think Di's gambling instinct was obvious at the time though.

But Kelsie wasn't cautious on the previous round, that's what I don't understand. She turned down £20,000 when there were only 2 larger amounts there.

Clearly Di was willing to reject 44,000 and go for the big one and that should be respected.We don't know how much Kelsie and Di needed or wanted which may have swayed their decision

To lighten the debate here a little, I have just uploaded the "Nude crew" clip to Youtube for those who missed it and requested it.

I liked her very much. Disappointing she only won £8k.

I don't think Di was putting on her stupidity. She was obviously nervous.

I would have dealt at £30k no doubt, and if I hadn't I would have dealt at £44k.

It's a disgrace that The Banker gives Di a much better offer just two days after Kelsie had a much better board.

Also the first time the £250k has gone in active play in the 6th round.

The tenth banker victory in a row.

No it's not...it happened to Shell, 1p Trevor, Simone and Shirley.

I think Di's turning down the £30k showed that she was a fairly big gambler...and Kelsie had said that she'd have taken £26k at the third offer. I would agree that the huge difference in the offers is a little unfair, but as I said, the decisions that they both received mean you can't really blame the Banker for them!
