Although, it adds climax to the show I highly disagree with this, as it is simply unfair to other contesttant.
I think the banker now does this because like in Michelle's game the offer would have gone down to £8,500 and the banker did not want to portay this fact, as there was a possibility he can gain a victory.

I thought it was a nice twist and it was an easy choice for me No Deal (even though as it turns out that was the wrong decision). As i see it the potential gain was far outweighted by the potential loss, still each to their own.

I thought it was a good twist too, but unlikely to be accepted by a contestant who's still enjoying the relief of securing a decent amount.

Hi tr2041, welcome.
I thought Michelle was great fun and a lovely girl. Good luck to her and well done on her win. I loved it when Noel took her outside. I would have done the same at the end.


** you and me we can ride on a star**

It was an unusual twist and the banker often does unusual things. I agree with Posh Paws, though, it's unlikely that a player would take the gamble after being secure in the knowledge that 15k had been won. She was lucky, though, getting to go outside with Noel Smile

It was a daft idea : she had already refused a chance to get £75 k on an excelent bord with small risk of leaving with nothing : why take a chance to get £35 k with high ( 50/50) chance of leaving with nothing

Hear, hear. The banker thought he was dealing with a mug and tried to take advantage of her. Shame on him.

I`m glad she said "No Deal"..even though there was £35k in her box

I think the banker was certain she`d take the deal, maybe she would`ve took the offer if she wasn`t planning to get married

I wonder if the boyfriend was pleased!

Smile Hi Box 23, welcome to the Forum! I suppose we'll never know if her boyfriend was pleased will we?

Hope you all seen the area the studio is in, no plush studio just a shed, so they do well to put a good show on.

Yes, I was really shocked. I thought it looked like they'd just stepped out of a one of those temporary offices you see on building sites!

It really isn't very glamorous at all and the loos are just in a Portacabin type thing.

That sounds even more like a building site!
