Round 7

7 - Harjinder - £5,000

Banker time with £10 and £25,000 remaining...

The others encourage Joe to take the offer. Jack says at least Joe will have secured a brilliant amount of money even if he deals and has the £25k. Paula says to deal and Mark agrees.

DEAL

Stephen opens Joe's box 9 and reveals £10

Box 5 and Hardev has the £25,000

Joe says the banker's not very good at banking

A good exciting game, helped by the banker making serious offers worth considering throughout the second half of the game. Joe getting the maximum possible out of the game was icing on the cake.

This is starting to feel very sus that these celebrity contestants can seem to do no wrong.

Still, cynical feelings aside that was a well played game and a deserved Banker Spanking.

The old version also seemed to have far more generous offers on non-canon special shows when the banker was usually being quite stingy in regular games

Missed this show on Saturday as ironically I was in Birmingham and earlier in the afternoon saw an exhibition of Joe Lycett's art in Birmingham Art Gallery.
