Noel was not wrong to say that this was an epic game. Colleen had to work very hard for that 30k and deserves every penny of it in what is, in fact, the biggest payout since Betty's 100k win nearly two months ago. And to my knowledge, the last contestant to get to 8-box with all of the Power Five still intact was Daniel last August.

But again, this site errs in saying that a contestant made a great deal if he or she found the biggest amount still in the game the first round after the deal, because while Colleen was wise in accepting 30k, she would have still been offered 20k more.

I bet the banker wouldn't have offered her £50,000 when the £250,000 was revealed in the next round if she said No Deal to £30,000!

The banker's hypothetical lies are almost laughable now. every single watcher of DOND knows he wouldn't have offered £50,000 there!

But it's hardly likely that the Banker would have gone down from 30k because Colleen took out the two remaining blues along with the quarter million in that round, and had the rest of the Power Five at 5-box, in a situation where 5k would have been the very least she would have won.

i agree i dont think the offer wouldve been 50k 40-45k atleast i wouldve gone on at 30k that was not a good offer that shouldve been in the 40s but it is alot of money i understand why she dealt i really felt sorry for her but atleast she beat the banker she deserves every peny well done coleen and now look at him 2 players have won 20k but the quarter of million has been in the boxes so in them games he's saved 470k unbelieveable but true let tomorrow be a good game atleastbut agen well done colleen xx

Unfortunately, Lance has also missed out on the opportunity of being a quarter millionaire, meaning that in the last four games, the Banker's saved himself over 700k, which has to be a record.

That silly woman deals at £30,000 with power five remaining? And only one amount of the hobo five? At least she had £5,000 in her box. She deserved every penny.

Colleen wasn't silly at all. She may have had all of the Power Five intact but she sure did agonise over that £30k - Noel once said that a contestant who agonises over a good offer is probably wise to accept it. Even if there turns out to be more money in the game, as here, he's not wrong.

If Colleen had played in season 2 though, her offer would have been £40k. If we compare her game to Stella's game(yes her's was a bit stronger but at 11 box and 8 box the boards were actually simialar) you will notice a big difference. To prove that point let me show you all. 1st round Stella takes 3 blues, 5k and 1k and gets an offer of £13,500 Colleen takes 3 blues as well but her reds are 10k and 20k(at this point Stella's game is slightly stronger but they still have all the power five intact)she gets an offer of £9,900. 2nd round Stella does an all blue round as does Colleen. Stella gets a massive offer of £25,000 where as Colleen only gets an offer of £15,000 ok i'll admit this is a fair offer but still lower than Stella's. 3rd round Stella takes out two blues and £20k, Colleen takes out two blues and one low red(£3,000). At this point both Stella's and Collen's boards are almost similar, the only difference is that Stella has 10k and 15k as a back up with the power five and Colleen has 15k as a backup with the power five. Stella's offer at this point increases to £32,123 Colleen gets a pathetic offer of £18,500 when really a decent offer is about £25,000 or £30,000. 4th round Stella takes the three lowest reds but still has all the power five intact and gets a great offer of £50,000, Colleen takes out two low reds(1k and 15k)and a blue and only gets an offer of £30,000. Then Colleen deals and takes out the 250k, Stella no deals and keeps the 250k in play. But if anyone reads this from 1st round to 4th round on Collens game and Stella's game you will see the differences in the offers.

I think Colleen done great, you can tell it was very hard for her to make that decision to deal at 30. The aim of the game is to beat the banker and she did just that. Well done Colleen

I think Colleen is beautiful inside and out. Is she a model? bring her back on the show please. Great game!

£30,000 at eight box with the power 5 is a very fair offer and it is not enough if it was at the region of £40,000 i would deal remember daniel`s game he had the power five at 8 box and the offer is £44,000 and he not dealt at that. Colleen deals at £30,000 why did she did that? Because she is poor-ish.
