Kathy beat the Banker in the first show of this heat, but it wasn't enough to prevent the boys from winning the Battle of the Sexes.

With the normal selection pattern resumed, Tom's game was anything but normal as he dealt a dream New Orleans basketball prize. Andrea's game never really took off as she dealt £9,000 - but the rest of the week was certainly dramatic!

Maria's game seemed to be heading for disaster, but she cleared out the blues and left the £100,000 in play before rejecting a £40,550 final offer and then swapping to become only the second ever £100k box winner! James followed it up well with a similar turnaround if on a smaller scale, as he too swapped for a £15,000 win. We had plenty of entertainment on "Planet Joan" as she took £25,000 before the courageous Lisa pushed her luck too far and left with £3,000. And finally, Stuart achieved an unwanted record of taking out the top three in one 3-box round, but still left with £20,000.

Well, it has to be Maria, with that turnaround and swap it has to be in the top 5 games of all time.

I'll leave others to do the tactical voting to decide who goes through to the final with her!

This is when DOND started picking up again after its setback earlier in September really... the bad luck seemed to have gone and we were back to the variety with the end of the battle of the sexes and men and women once again playing, as normal.

The ones that stand out for me here are Tom, Maria, James, Joan and Stuart - Tom as it contained the second ever non-monetary deal and it was so good that he achieved his dream of his New Orleans trip, Maria because she had a Gaz-style turnaround and had the same result (except with a swap) - but I didn't notice her at all on the wings and thought "Who?" when her name was called, James because he was a nice chap and a swap saved him from a blue win, Joan because she was crazy and provided a very humorous show (although she was pushing the boundary of being irritating! ) and Stuart.

I didn't notice Stuart much on the wings so didn't get involved in his game at first but it finished as being one of the most memorable because it contained so many interesting things - such as the strong board he had, resulting in one of the highest third offers ever, the worst possible fourth round, the fact that the banker was still quite generous despite the game almost imploding in on itself and also the fact that it ended in one of the rare draws that there have been in the show's history!

Therefore, I am voting Stuart as it contained so many interesting elements in terms of gameplay. Second would be Maria, third Joan, fourth James and Tom fifth.

Think Maria has this in the bag! I did pretty much guess that a £100k win was coming because of the time, but I've made sure that never happens again, and the game was so good it didn't really matter - I'd have preferred that to a blue win!

I chose Maria, because I thought she was really brave to turn down over £40,000. I don't think I would have. Also, her result was the most surprising out of them all. If somone had told me before the games were shown that someone on that list won £100,000, I'd never have guessed it was Maria. I liked her accent, too.

Nearly all the games were excellent here but it has to be Maria. We'd been waiting so long for a 100K winner and swapping made it so much better.

Maria's game was one of the games of the year. A shoo-in for game of the month.

Can hardly remember any of the others, except Stuart who bored me to death and is a shoo-in for inflated offer deal of the month.

I'm going to be completely different and go for James! Even though the stakes were much lower, it was just as good as Maria's game, plus I though he didn't have much money and 15k to him would be like 100k to a lot of people!

Either Stuart with that offer and dealing it, or Maria with that huge win!

To make the numbers up, I'll go with Stuart.

I'm sure I would have voted Maria if I'd actually bothered to record it, but I didn't, so it will have to be James!

MARIA!!

Lisa

Maria

It just has to be Maria for me!

Maria..then Stuart (both amazing games but i did not see the Maria win coming..)

Lisa for me cause she was so sweet and she had a nice ambition.

whats the point of all this?

Maria wins the whole month hands down

Maria is the runaway winner of the final heat, she got twelve votes. Second place is shared between James and Joan.

Its Brenda of course
