James' show for me.

Three classic games in this selection, and I was fairly arbitrary in picking Belinda (I mostly just approved heavily of her decision given the pressure there must have been to play on after Paul's game).

The 1-2-3 for the whole month will surely come from this heat.

The whole of January 2012 was a really strong month overall, with five Power 5 amounts being won.

How many months have had five or more Power 5 wins? There can't be many. January 2007 stands out as being one that probably falls under that category (in fact, I just checked, and Jan 07 had seven Power 5 wins).

Unsure between James and Paul. Ended up going for James due to the legendary all-red 8-box, and the fact that his deal, that many would say was cautious, paid off spectacularly!

James - for the same reasons as Jack.

Of the "big 3" I genuinely thought Belinda's was the best. Shame James had to be in the same heat as Belinda and Paul!

Was this because she won more than James and Paul, perchance?

Paul gets my vote.

Not really - more becuase I couldn't believe how unlikely it was for the same sort of 5-box to crop up for the third time in 7 games (and also Belinda never hinted she was an OHO like Paul). I have to admit I wanted after Belinda's deal to see the £75k in her box, as it's bound to be the highest amount where a box can be sold for its value, since I don't think there's any way £100k could be offered with it still on the board!

James for me. If Paul had gone all the way to the end, of which he should have done then he would have got my vote.

Would have been best if they all said no deal 6 times and that would have been the biggest ever payout week for the show.

James, Paul and Belinda win this Heat and go through to the Final.

No surprises there...
