Katherine Ryan: £2,789 at 3 box here as well, the average on a one box game is a must deal offer even at those stakes and in a celebrity special.

Yolanda: Playing with total honesty, given I would've saw 2 depressing trainwrecks just hours before playing, £10,095 at 5 box. :(

Given the ITV Banker's recent offer trends there was only a 30% chance of a significant uplift at 3 box, and even in that scenario I was still expecting the offer not to crack 20k. Between my lack of confidence in the risk being worth the reward and not wanting to complete a hat trick of total disasters I would've reluctantly dealt at 5 box.

Probably £21,250 at 3-box. Only way to get a lot more would be to leave £25k vs £75k.

For once that wouldn't have been the case, as Yolanda's game was recorded many months after Conal and Stephen's game's werr.

£10,095 was a tricky offer though and a deal would have been more than justified - as you mention, you only keeping both 25k and 75k would lead to a big increase at 3-box, so functionally if you're turning down 10k at 5-box you need to mentally be prepared to play until 2-box to chase that big win, and then you have the 30% chance of crashing to a 2k-max win.

As little as one or two grand more and I'd have been dealing too.

Well, had that offer been 10195, I'd have simply had to say Deal - but it wasn't, so I wouldn't have do---

Oh I don't know, it's been so long that I've forgotten how this game is even played, what would I have done? I'd have watched Deal or No Deal, if I'd known it was on!

Like Tom Hanks and his football on that island in 'Cast Away', it looks like it's just me and the bots here now. But that's alright, we're having a grand old time. Aren't we, Wilson? WILSOOOON?!

A few of us who were once part of the furniture, once stalwarts of the grand and extravagant, exuberant and thriving forum, have receded back into the walls, still faintly visible, still here as poignant, reminding relics of an era gone by; but most of us have vanished, forever immersed in the mists of time.

Honestly, I feel I would have taken £10,095 at 5-box just in case I end up taking out the £75k within the next two boxes. Would be harder to get a 5-digit offer at that point.

Matt: £7,510 at 5 box :D

Surprisingly generous offer, and given the Banker seems to be making more moderate offers now rather than fully going back to his early revival offer trends it wasn't worth the risk.

Deal at £7,510. Pretty generous for how little backup he had + 3 out of 5 values being functionally worthless.

Probably all the way to £5. 5-box was a good offer, but with only two boxes to open I'd have wanted a bit more to tempt me out there.

Ana: Reluctant £5,004 at 5 box, it was essentially yesturday's 5 box decision at two thirds the stakes and the backup was too sparse for the risk to be worth it.

I would have taken £5,004 at 5-box just in case I take out the 50k within the next two boxes. Would be chasing the 1k or 2k at that point.

By a narrow margin, deal at £10,804.

£5,004 would have been a TOUGH decision, but the 1k and 2k backups were just enough for me to go for it. A well pitched offer by the banker there!
