How many people did you tell your result to before your game was screened? Was it difficult to keep quiet about it?

My SD is coming into "the zone" and expects to record her game early next week but is currently saying that she plans to tell NO-ONE what happens spank

How can we survive until late January or possibly even February without knowing????!!! :roll: :-D Only her Mum will be in the audience and we don't communicate with her these days so, if SD sticks to her guns, we will be on tenterhooks for months :smt103

Can we sue her for mental cruelty? I guess the quality of the Christmas present may give us a clue??! ;-)

I suspect she'll say anyway. I wouldn't want to tell anyone and would want it to be a surprise.

Are they filming again next week?

This falls on two counts. Firstly, nobody's winning big; secondly, Endemol don't mind the spoilers and embrace the publicity from them. Certainly, they utterly milked the US jackpot win a while back... I can't say they wouldn't do the same with 'another Laura', especially as that spoiled game is still the highest-rated Sunday episode ever (although, as I cannot stress enough, not the highest-rated game that week).

That probably is true, but their rules regarding spoilers would suggest otherwise!

It's really hard not to tell. I told my Mum and some close friends who I knew wouldn't say anything but the rumours going round were amazing. The local paper did a bit about me and I'm sure that made everyone think I'd won loads. It's better not to tell people because it is more fun when they watch it.
