Now, I often feel criticism for players on this forum is slightly OTT, slightly unjust - but after Louise, Lance and Carol between them squandered £600,000 in three consecutive shows, I began to get pretty annoyed.

But which one of these irritated you the most? For me, it was Lance's. Although Louise had the dream finale, Lance's game made me angrier - because not only did he go for less money, but I genuinely felt his board was stronger at the time of dealing. And, after he'd seen how wrong Louise had got it just hours before (as they were filmed on the same day), how could he have dealt when he did?? Furthermore, Louise revealed that with her mortgage, she really did have need for the money - whereas Lance, a young lad, really had nothing to lose by being a tad adventurous. Instead, we saw the 250k squandered yet again.

So, which one of the trio of games did you find the worst?

I think it's between Lance and Louise really, as Carol's board was more unstable at the time of dealing.

Lance was probably worse than Louise as he dealt for a lower amount on a board of similar strength, and as it came just after Louise's you'd think he may have thought twice about dealing for a poor offer on a reasonably strong board.

It's tempting to say Louise was worse as she got the dream finish, but at the time of dealing Lance also had the chance of getting it - luckily for him he didn't.

Has the banker ever had such a winning streak in consecutive shows? Having 3 consecutive players sell £600,000 for a fraction of that must be his best run ever...

Lance. I thought he was a prat anyway, I actually didn't mind Louise and Carol, and he had the best board of the three too.

Lance. Easily the most stable of the two eight-box boards that drew sub-£20k Deals.

Lance had the strongest board, but Louise also had a strong board, the same for which cannot be said of Carol, who had the most vulnerable board, and therefore was probably the only one of the 3 here that I could understand.

They were all selfish, but Lance was worst.

Louise 'cos she turned down £15k at the third offer and had I think an all-blue round, certainly not a damaging round anyway, which made dealing at £20k make no sense at all. Lance's offer went up by a bit and Carol lost £75k so their offers weren't so terrible in comparison to the previous ones.

Irregardless whose game was worse, they will all be remembered for their poor decisions and not for their sparkling personalities that lit up the show. Boring and instantly forgettable people whose only impact on the show was to humiliate themselves on national TV by showing complete contempt for playing the game and a totally useless ability to read a simple board in front of them.

So many interesting and lively characters leave their marks on the show - Charles (today), Tax Free Harry, Miss Orry, Farmer Clive, Morris, Finn to name but a few, but how many people actually remember how much they won? I don't and I don't care, but I do remember these and many other wonderful people who lit up the show with their personalities which they will be remembered by. The boring likes of Richard, Carol, Louise and Lance and quite a few others will be soon forgotten and only remembered for their attocious attitude towards the game and dismal way in which they played it.

Good point on Louise. In isolation Lance's decision was worse. In context, Louise's was at least as bad. She hit £10k and two blues.

Probably Lance's, because of the "not again" factor. I was disappointed when Louise dealt too. Carol's board wasn't strong, so the deal was understandable.

Carol's was bad but Lance's and Louise's were both much worse ... tricky to decide between those 2 really.

Possibly Lance as he had 4 above but Louise was really close!

Probably Lance's.
