as is the bankers post deal offers ( with the utmost sincerity ). Yet everyone appears to take it seriously -
"Not I said the little red hen"
I don't believe the post deal offers reflect the board much of the time as it is TV and therefore the aim would be to make it seem the player has lost out. A simple ploy on the part of the banker to satisfy the image created for him that he is thoroughly nasty and uncaring of the various contestants.
As for the play out after the deal "the future is not written yet" and therefore the order could be subtly changed. The only immutable part of the play out would be a player admitting before the DEAL that a certain box would be kept until the end. If no admission of this nature is made the individual can choose a totally different order to play out the remaining boxes. What this cannot affect is the money amount in their box on the Pound Table, unless the banker poses the SWAP or NO SWAP dilemma even though the game has been declared over at the DEAL point.
