Time for heat 2 of this contest.

Pauline struck an emotional cord as she dealt at £30,000 but had £100k in her box; Doug did a fairly poor deal for £5,000 which turned out to be an OPW; Malc gambled just over £4k hoping to win £20k, but ended up with £1; and Chelsea dealt a rather nice offer of £17,000 with 50p & £50k left, but had £50k in her box.

Penny dealt a poor offer of £5,500 on a 1p vs £35k final 2, but had the 1p in her box; Claude won £100 but the banker doubled it to £200; Lou dealt £18,000 on a £500 vs £75k final 2 and had £500 in her box; Ada dealt £10,000 but had £100,000 in her box; and finally in this heat, Charlie had an unusual game which started off well, turned nasty, then recovered to a £15k vs £20k final 2, from which he won £20k.

Who wins this heat? You decide - 5 days to vote.

Between Claude and Charlie for me here. Charlie's show had a very good "turnaround" game but Claude's show was better in my opinion and gets my vote, as it contained a lot of humour and I enjoyed it a lot (despite the poor result). Pauline and Ada were my other favourites here.

Pauline.

I went for Charlie!

Charlie becuase it was great to see him give the banker a taste of his own medicine!

Charlie for me too - brilliant turnaround and a perfect end result.

Lou was the other choice for me as she managed a sizeable win out of nowhere!

I went for Chelsea. That game made me think we was in a neutral mode of the show. I could easily have gone for Claude...

Pauline for me, because despite the appalling offers in her game, she won an amount which would change her life.

Chelsea, Lou, Pauline or Charlie for me...

Chelsea got good offers, Lou and Charlie were both poor offers being punished, and Pauline had a fantastic show.

I'll go for Pauline.

Toss up between Pauline and Chelsea, but I went for Pauline.

Charlie here - a really interesting one for gameplay. Pauline's is probably second I suppose as it was an excellent reality check of a show in the recession but it would have been incredibly exciting if that board had gone to someone in different circumstances (especially twelve months earlier)...

Claude - A fun game mainly. Just a shame about the end result.

I'm gonna go with Charlie here...

Just loved Ada.
