i liked it much better before they worked out that with opera/firefox you could enter online 30 times without having to re submit the form. now i think i'm banned.

Philistine.

You couldn't appreciate pure quality if it bit you on the bum! :p

I was livid today. The five box endgame was;

£250
£1K
£15K
£50K
£250K

She gave up her seat for £26,000! :(
 
And, guess what! She was right to do so!

I like it, but I think that Las Vegas SWAT officer that was on last week was a bit over the top. Man that guy had a weird family.

It's bloody daft - all the talk of "tactics" and "strategy" for what is basically a half hour long game of chance.

I agree. Just what is the fucking point of watching some dick agonizing over whether to pick A or B? There's no skill or knowledge required. Noel tries bravely to waffle on to fill up airtime, but the smug deliberations of the contestants who imagine themselves to be a the helm of some sort of grandmaster battle of wits, never fails to make me cringe.

It's true that strategically it shouldn't really matter a fig which box they pick at any stage, the probabilities are the same. However, if the banker is doing his job properly, there is a very interesting and real game of 'chicken' going on. The contestant is obviously willing to settle some way below the price of his/her seat, because he/she really cant afford to gamble tens of thousands of pounds. Taking advantage of this, the banker SHOULD want to make a deal in his favour. The 'crash' in the game of chicken is when the game goes to the bitter end. No-one wants this. His offers really should depend on the nerve and reactions of the contestant. Will the contestant take the sucker deal or will he play on?

I fear I have too much time on my hands :o
 
Then last weekend Edmonds was on Jonathan Ross on R2 and basically said the contestants spend a week in a hotel somewhere like (I think) Bristol or Swindon as they film a few episodes on the bounce and that some of them end up shagging each other which has added a whole extra (and more interesting) element to it for me, working out who has put out in the hotel (and to whom)

Sad, but true
 
No Deal

I think the show is really really (see what I did there) addictive, however the only thing that puts me off is the waffling on of Noel. I know he has to make up the time etc. but it becomes so repetitive. Could they possibly diverse the show so that an extra feature is involved to take up all the spare time? Obviously they need the ££ from the advertising breaks too much to cut the show by 15 mins.
Prime time tomorrow night though so it must be doing something good!
 
Offers

Chemical needs said:
So the banker's real, but what about the offers? Computer/ calculation generated?

I think that it is computer, although the "banker" does seem to play a little bit of a game with some of them, so not sure really.
 
love it love it

i love this although i am currently having a break as i get too into it. I was gutted when Geordie went away with £20 that was horrible :(
 
Deal

I know this is pretty cruel and sick, but when the contestants get on the "oh I feel the vibes and I know I'm gonna beat the banker" I quite enjoy it when they go away with $%^& all.
:eek:
 
as i said in previous post, my dad was on this show. they film 3 episodes a day and they are in a hotel for 2 weeks in bristol. the banker is actually 3 people: a psychologist, a computer statistician and a betting/odds expert.

players have to go through a rigorous selection audition involving interviews, screen tests etc - basically everything about your character is squeezed out. the 3 bankers (esp psychologist) checks thru all this, and what is said while they are just assisting other contestants and so by the time the people have their turn, the bankers know what they are going to do before they do it.

but my dad said on top of this there was also a heavy bias on offers given by the bankers on whether they actually liked the contestant or not. think they had a soft spot for my dad because he got some way too high offers for his position in the game.

he also slightly bullshitted on what he was going to do with the money and laid it on thick about his family so i think that tactic, of all the others, is actually the most powerful
 
Definately Deal

Mr Moomoo loves it when they go home with a penny - especially if he doesn't like the contestant!

I can't look and have to watch through my fingers! :(
 
Bloody hell she's got 8 reds and only 2 blues left! (and its nice to have my suspicions confirmed that the contestants are at it like rabbits)

He's a lot shorter in real life - I bumped into once after he emerged unexpectedly from his helecopter. The only other time I have seen him he gave me a sausage.
 
Make that £60000 as the 1K goes... £480K left over eight boxes... banker offers £33K. NO DEAL! :mad:

She's surprisingly together given that she seems to have emerged from a disco in 1976 to find herself in a game show in 2006 hosted by Noel Edmunds.
