Deal or No Deal - 11th-17th February (Hollywood Heartthrobs)

Well, this week, DoND celebrated Valentine's Day with the annual series of Love Week shows. This year's followed a Hollywood Heartthrobs theme, with Noel as director.

The traditional Love Week twist returned: the player selects a 'special box', which, when opened, results in an immediate offer.

Monday 11th: Danny
Winnings: £31,000
Dealt at: 8-box
Highest offer: £45,000 (5-box)
Box value: £50
Extra offer at: 9-box

Perhaps the best game of the week. Danny was a great player, and his board was very strong much of the way through. Don't blame him for dealing when he did, even if he didn't take advantage of the extra offer. And he made a huge profit on his box, even if it wasn't quite a Banker spanking.

Tuesday 12th: Eva
Winnings: £5,500
Dealt at: 5-box
Highest offer: £27,500 (2-box)
Box value: £10
Extra offer at: 9-box

Eva was unlucky in that her 'special box' had the £250,000 in it, and the game didn't quite recover from it. It was also unlucky that, after her deal, she missed the £100,000, the only box that would keep the offer up, all the way to 2-box.

Wednesday 13th: Sully
Winnings: £19,000
Dealt at: 7-box extra offer
Highest offer: £26,000
Box value: £100
Extra offer at: 7-box

Not a bad result, even if he could've had a bit more, but I don't think he'd be too bothered about that.

Thursday 14th: Lyn
Winnings: £22,000
Dealt at: 9-box extra offer
Highest offer: £81,000 (2-box)
Box value: £100
Extra offer at: 9-box

Again, a good result despite there being more in the game. Given that she didn't have the Jackpot on the table, she was unlucky to miss it all the way to 2-box.

Friday 15th: John
Winnings: £9,999.99
Dealt at: 5-box
Highest offer: £20,000 (8-box)
Box value: 1p
Extra offer at: 7-box

Again, John was unlucky in that his special box contained the £250,000, thus crashing his offer after a brave 8-box no deal. Luckily, he kept the £100,000 in play just long enough for a bailout. A good game overall, even if the deal was a little off.

Sunday 17th: Kelly
Winnings: £3,100
Dealt at: 5-box
Highest offer: £9,000 (2-box)
Box value: £35,000
Extra offer at: 6-box

Shame to end the week with a low tariff deal gone wrong. It was unfortunate that Kelly brought a big sum to the table, then wiped all the other big sums out, meaning her offers were never going to be that big.

But, overall, a very good week, despite there being no Banker spankings. Lets hope for some more good games to come in the weeks to come.
