Timing of final break, the answer is so obvious...

We're back

Alicia says

DEAL

Sigh, another player that can't even take a moderate risk.

Round 5 - proveout

Stephen says she had to do what's right for her.

9 - Mike - £50

"The worst start" says Stephen.

22 - Simon - £25,000

Stephen says that's brilliant.

14 - Pete - 10p

Banker time

The banker says he thought Alicia would go another round.

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£6,000

Round 6 - proveout

2 - Johnny - £750

Stephen says this is getting too close for comfort.

17 - Chaniece - £5

Banker time

Think that might have been the offer for her to play for, although I'd again have gone on trusting the 3-box generosity.

50p, £7,500 and £75,000 remaining

The banker says his colleagues aren't laughing at him any more.

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£15,500

I think I turn that down too if the final offer is going to be near the mean?!?

Round 7 - proveout

Alicia says she's happy to be going away with a decent amount of money and didn't want to risk it.

1 - Donna - 50p

Banker time with £7,500 and £50,000 remaining...

I thought the reduced prizes would counter the early/low dealers, but sadly 15 years of real wage stagnation is hitting hard. We need to get Rishi out so we can have a functioning economy and exciting episodes of DoND again!

The banker says his week's suddenly become brilliant. He advises Alicia to sit down for this.

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£31,500

Stephen says that would've been the biggest offer of the series so far. Alicia says she's alright as she still has a decent amount of money.

Stephen opens Alicia's box 19 and reveals £50,000

Even by these 2005 offer pattern standards, that's positively 2007 Noel levels of guilt tripping from the Banker.

Box 15 with Toni contains the £7,500

Looks like Stephen has copied one thing from Noel...a rather short memory span!

Daryl was the highest offer in Episode 2

I think he meant it would've been the highest offer in live play, which is still currently Sian's £17,500 from the premiere!

Daryl was offered £37,500 had he still been in live play

Supposedly

I mean, we're in a costing living crisis, one of the worst times in UK history, surely, we can't expect people to be reckless, I can certainly understand being cautious. The thing that matters the most is her winning what she needed to achieve her dreams, Good for her. Good game, like these cautious deals, much prefer them over a blue win nowadays. Enjoy the money Alicia.

Not just Rishi, the entire scummy bogland of the Tory party.
