Well, I'm playing catch-up at the moment. I went away for the long weekend, and I've only just got back. So here goes with a brief summary of last week's DOND games.
Monday's player was Neil. He was a nice chap, but his game didn't have a great deal of luck. When offered £5,000 and 8-box, he dealt. Alas, £20,000 stayed to the end with a blue. The Banker offered the Banker's Gamble, which would allow him to give back the £5,000 and go for the £20,000. Neil declined this, but, alas, the £20,000 was in his box.
Tuesday, and Isolda was the player. Her game was also full of bad luck. However, a good final round saw her recover to a final two of £3,000 and £5,000. She won the £3,000, unfortunately, but that was still a good result after all that bad luck.
Wednesday, and the Banker's 'favourite' player, Tony, came out. Tony was certainly a player who had provoked mixed reactions on the forum; some enjoyed his ramblings, others found him annoying. His game was also full of bad luck, and he went away with just 50p. But he certainly gave us an entertaining game, and will be remembered for that.
I missed Thursday's game due to a college interview. Mike was the player, and he also had bad luck early on. However, he recovered to a 5-box offer of £14,000, which he dealt. Unfortunately, the £50,000 stayed to the end, along with 10p. For the second time this week, the Banker offered the gamble. Like Neil, Mike turned it down, but, unfortunately, he had the £50,000 in the box. But he certainly gave a dramatic game financially. Probably the best regular game of a sorry week.
I missed most of Friday's game as well, due to a night out with my social club. I caught the first quarter, then went away. Mani was the player, and, unlike most recent games, she had a good start. The game improved as it went on. She eventually dealt £20,000 at 8-box with £250,000 and £100,000 left on the board. Alas, the £100,000 was in her box, so another frustrating result.
But Saturday's game was by far the most frustrating of the week. Valerie was the player, and she also had pretty torrid luck early on. She reached a third offer of £10,000, which she dealt. It looked like she might be on course for a very rare third offer OPW (getting the maximum sum from the game), but, alas, a perfect final round left £20,000 and £35,000 on the board. £35,000 was in the box to finish off a torrid week for the show.
On Sunday, the final Celebrity Deal or No Deal saw boy band McFly play the Banker for a variety of charities. Another shocking start saw THREE of the Power 5 go in the first round. The boys ended up with a final two of 1p and £10,000, and, pleasingly, won £10,000 for their charities, thus giving us a feel good game to end both the week, and the Celebrity series.
Sorry for the disjointed summary this week, but I'm playing catch-up at the moment. Normal service will be resumed later this week, I hope. I also hope to post about the Apprentice Final later on this week as well, so stay tuned for that too.
