Time for heat 1 of this contest.

Mark crashed from a £20,000 offer to win just 4p by dealing on a 1p vs 10p final 2; Pete won 1p after a trainwreck; Michelle got £20k by dealing a poor offer but it was an OPW; and Claire dealt at £600 to avoid crashing further...

Bill dealt at a fairly poor £12,500, and could've had £30,000; Julie won £75k through a final offer of a swap and no money; Judy dealt at £8,000 and avoided a blue win; David provided us with a cello recital and dealt for £26,000, turned down the banker's gamble and scored an OPW; and finally in this heat, Arann dealt at £8,000 and avoided a blue win.

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

Julie's was good as the show had a lot of energy and of course ended up having a £75k win (albeit through a swap final offer). However I've gone for David as his show was rather memorable with the cello recital and so on. Pete's and Bill's shows were my other favourites here.

Pete.

I went for Arann!

Let's do it be elimination:

Mark: Spectacular trainwreck
Pete: Comedy trainwreck
Michelle: Crap deal
Claire: Trainwreck made even more rubbish by a banker's bonus
Bill: Crap deal
Julie: Farce with the swap-only offer
Judy: Guess that one was OK
Arann: Crap deal which he just got away with.

In that case it's gotta be David!!

This is tough; despite the nature of Julie's big win it was still overdue and was still a good game. Mark's was incredible for the massive crash, while David's was awesome with the return of the £26,000 offer and the cello music! Pete is the only other one I could choose because of his unique humour.

But I think I'm going to say David too!

I can't see what was so special about David myself, but the no-brainer is obviously Julie.

Didn't like Julie at all, so went with David.

I voted for Julie, because it's the only one I remember much about.

David by a mile. It's got this month wrapped up for me.

Julie - I found the game quite entertaining through out and it was good to see a big win (even if it was forced as such).

So that Arann at least has the chance of getting to the final, I've gone for him.

But my choice in the final is most likely to be David or Julie. Probably David.

I liked Bill's game, thought him and Olive were great fun.

If anyone hasn't voted, would they like to vote for Pete, Bill or Arann? They're currently all at 3rd place with 8%. If it stays at 8% each then I may just put Bill and Pete through as they have the largest number of positive mentions in this thread. Seems pointless putting all 3 through...

Well I voted... I seem to have made the situation worse though...

Well if it stays like this, I'll put Julie, David, Bill and Arann through.

I don't think anyone actually cares though...

As h2005 is currently busy I just thought i'd confirm who the top 3 are for each heat as the poll ended on Wednesday.

Should I set up the final poll as well for the Show of the Month?

1st Place: Julie with 32% of the votes
2nd Place: David with 28% of the votes
=3rd Place: Arann with 12% of the votes
=3rd Place: Bill with 12% of the votes

The above all go through to the October final.

Go for it Mike!
