Simply because most people would No Deal it nowadays. I agree, £6,000 is a lot of money.

I got to give it to the banker - he's seems to be judging contestants to perfection with his offers just lately. I never thought Christine would deal with an insulting £6000 offer. She appeared gritty and determined up till that point and I was shocked when she caved in.

I was well wrapped up in the game and, throwing all logic aside, had decided it would be 'sh*t or bust' for me after that offer..... and plough on. Thought she would be the same.

On reflection it was probably the sensible thing to do as there was more chance of taking the £100,000 out than keeping it and £6000 is better than nothing. But you only get one chance in the 'crazy chair' ..........

The banker read Christine's feelings very well, she was obviously deflated after losing the backup reds, and I thought the offer was ridiculous.


I also felt the £36k offer was a tad high. I would have thought the old £26k offer would of been popped in!

Well done Christine, amazing game

As Noel tried to put blonde streaks in his hair at the front?

Lowest deal ever when the player had £100,000 in their box. Hmm... I would have gone at £16,000 in that situation, I think, but she was unlucky to lose her safety reds the next round.

Was very surprised at her dealing, was sure that she woulda carried on and thought she should have tbh.

Welldone Christine, enjoy £6,000!

I was very ill yesterday (and I am never ill) but I stayed awake for this game and Christine made me laugh so much - £6,000 is better than nothing! well done!

I have to say the night before her show, when I was wondering who would be playing the next day, I couldn't even picture who she was when I looked at the "How long has each player been on" thread...

Anyway, despite not standing out to me much during her time on the wings, she was a very fesity and entertaining lady I thought - and whilst a little bit scary, she was very funny and it was a good show to watch!

I'd have probably dealt at £16,000 but if I'd no dealt £16,000, I think I'd have been tempted to carry on at the £6,000 point actually, but it was a good deal for her - and I noticed Noel saying that the banker had to play it as he would've done - not sure he would've really offered £36,000, judging by the offers in the £20k / £25k region that Paul and Thanh in January 2007 got with a blue vs £100k board...

It's a shame it was an Outright Player Loss though. And is Noel right in saying it's the 2nd equal highest banker victory or whatever it was he was claiming?

Anyway Christine, enjoy the £6,000!

I don't think the £36k proveout offer was all that ridiculous given Susan's in-play £42k with a worse blue (well to some, 50p is the best blue but that's a moot point )
