A game to forget.

I would demand 250,000 pounds if i had to dress up like a clown if i were a contestant this week. Failing that i'd call in sick for the whole week.

I told you there would be more gimmicks in this year's Banker's Birthday Week than last year's.

This show has just lost the plot completley. How are they suppose to find the right clowns in a 4/1 shot. Today's player was awfull, I mean why the hell was he asking his partner for and who is she to tell hime what box to keep, it's his game not yours and why did he pick the box that had 250k in it just cuz the audience gasped. Finally dealing at 7k is so stupid, I would definatley have gone to end and dealt at 17k. As for Daniells game, I'm not even going to comment on it.

This week is going to be one of the worst shows I have ever seen. It has just lost the glamour, the drama and tension that it is suppose to have. I'm not watching Deal or No Deal this week at all, there's no point because I can garantee that there will be no exiting games, no worthy players and no big money wins well not ones that aren't forced of course and especially with an offer after each box. So I'll see you around later guys thanks.

Okay the clown gimmick was a little ghey, but atleast its a change from th cards, you all complained last time saying they are not coming up with original ideas, this is different to the cards. Oh and Kris dealing at £7,000 wasn't bad. Its easy to say "I woulda declined £x" when you're sitting at home

If there is anyone here who watched today's show and didn't foresee the Banker offering the Banker's Gamble...

Well I said I wasn't going to watch it for this week, but my friends at College would keep me informed and I don't regret missing today's as I heard it was awful. Apparantly she had the top 6 numbers and her offers were poor, in fact all of them. Then my other friend said the B/G was offered but he didn't mind becuase he thought that would have been the offer anyway at the last 2 boxes, but it still doesn't make me feel any better.

Perhaps the credit crunch has also affected the banker's offers as well.

That's unlikely. The banker essentially handed Alice 250,000 pounds a while back. And as for Danielle's game, he ditched conventional gameplay to allow her to open one box at a time so she would get more money or at least have a much greater chance of winning more.

Okay I've made my mind up, I am so not watching this week's shows =)

I think the selectors are only allowed to choose stupid people to go on the show because every time the Banker offers the Banker's Gamble everyone acts really surprised, even if it was the most obvious thing in the world, which it was in Shell's boring game.

I was at my Dad's today and he was watching today's game and I saw some of it as well. Apparantly he said that her partner said that 17k was her target is that ture, if so then he is stupid. The only bit I saw was at the 5 box, but I didn't watch it so I don't know what happened, what was in her box, if her game was forced and I don't really care.

Deal or no deal bankers birthday week- a whole new level of stupid, i think that the outfits are really scary, not even funny or amusing at all, i've only watched the end of the games this week because what they are wearing is so ugly, it's much worse than valentines week!!! the endings are kind of interesting though, and the banker is really having a good week in the first two days he got away with only goving away 24,500 when the total prize money would have been 135,000 and then today she only won 7.50 sorry if i'm spoiling this 4 anyone,on tuesdays game, the person definately looks the worst!

Wow, you're making me feel better, because I'm just not watching this weeks shows lol.

Yeah here's the lowdown (if you're interested - spoiler): At 5 box Nicola choose one "phoney" clown so the banker toom away a box and said there was a red in it when there were 2 reds left in play but when play continued she chose another box which had a red then picked the box taken away which had the other red leaving a 3 box finish. To run it in the banker said the box then had £5 but she wanted to be in the 1p club so now believing the banker chose 22 which had the 1p! Although I'm guessing no-one's bothered or is remotely interested this week but that was such a shame when you consider the strength at 11-box. Well you never know someone could have a big payout yet.

Wooh! So it's Plan Man's turn to get frustrated now is it? The guy really ought to show some bit of respect for other users of this site - and realise too that he can't have things his own way. But it's probably as likely as rocking horse poo that he'll do either of these things - meaning he's just going to keep on posting irrelevant, idiotic, trollish comments, like the one above, till the cows come home!! :( :(

Yet another bad game today with lots of future offers. That's why we hate it when there's an offer after every box, because more offers means more chances for future offers.

I decided to watch the last few mins of this show cuz I was bored and had nothing to do. It was a fair game, not great but not the worst although that makes 3 Thursday games that have had gimmicks. Mel's banker's gamble, Declan's bonus offer and today's special gimmicks. Only problem was the banker made the offers too high at 5 box which made it obvious that she would deal at some point. Oh and I don't believe that the banker would have offered 62k and 94k, I think was bluffing by trying to force her to go one trust me he has done this before.

Another thing is has it ever occured to you that whenever they get an offer after each box at 5 box, the offers are high but in a normal game there relatively low or mediocre. If I was the banker I would not have given her high offers, because I knew she wasn't prepared to go all the way. Only the bravest and determined players deserve high offer in my eyes. Finally this is just an opinion before anyone starts a row.

Of course the post-deal offers are always ludicrously high. There is really no point in trying to understand this show anymore. They'll probably dress up like vampires for halloween.

What's the odds that they'll find some other special week to fit between the Banker's Birthday Week and the Summer Specials, because it's hard to imagine them going two whole months without any special shows.

Oh god please don't do another one of those special shows please. Noel, Mr Banker I'll do anything, anything just don't do another one of those again. That way we won't see another special show until Halloween, that is of course if Deal or No Deal will be back for a new Season

another rubbish deal today. and the people on the digital spy forums aren't too happy about two good looking ladies playing in these specials - what are the thoughts here?

For once I'm not too bothered that this site hasn't been updated. After all, it's not as if there are any good games which haven't been added yet.

Well at least it's finally over now and we can get back to the normal shows. I really hope next weeks shows will be miles better than this weeks, even if it's only a small big win.

Noel said, at the end of today's show, that this week was one of the best weeks in the show's history. Hyperbole indeed.

I'm afraid not. The birthday week is continuing to Sunday. Does anyone here know of anyone else who actually carries on celebrating their birthday five days after it's passed?

Oh dear I forgot about Sunday and yeah it's odd that someone would celebrate there birthday after a few days but remember Deal or No Deal is recorded. I reckont they filmed about 3 shows each day, so they will have finished the Banker's Birthday in 2 days. I reckon by now there filming shows that won't broadcast until November.

Hooray! This week is over!

Yes and it seems like it's been forever. As for today I quite enjoyed it for some strange reason and I can't explain why, the only thing I disliked about it was the clown gimmicks of course and then the banker getting to look in his box just to find out about the next offer which was rubbish anyway. Oh and then increasing the offer put me off a bit as well cuz it seemed pretty obvious that he was going to deal. Although he said he wanted to £250,000 and he was going to win it. Let me you a tip mate, if you were really a true gambler then would keep true to your word and go for it. Your not going to win it if you bottle out.

Finally for the billionth time this is just my comment and opinion so don't you guys start ranting at me and pushing me around.

Well i aint commented on ere in a while but all i can say about todays game is wow what a game £60,000 good money but i wudve gone on at that even that £100,000 id have gone on i cant believe the banker told him where the £250,000 was i wudnt of believed him but i actually wudve swapped my box for number 2 because that number means the world 2 me ive got 2 kids i got married 2 my wife on the 2nd my wifes birthday is on the 2nd yes we got married on her birthday and loads more so i wudve won it if i went on the show damn but hey £60,000 for Liam is good money but i was hopin for a spankin on the last of the birthday shows but nope £100,000 i do believe actually that wudve been the offer but id go 4 it at that it was a ok game.

I'm glad he didn't go to the end, because then it would have been another forced £250,000 win. Anyway, what's more worrying is the fact that the Banker may now start a trend of asking to look inside a box in return for revealing what the next offer will be. If that happens, then I hope there's no season 5.

I dont think that'll happen James to be honest I hope it dunt anyway. And I dnt see this game wouldve been another forced £250,000 win.

Yeah how is that a forced win if he had said No Deal to £60,000 and £100,000 which is a huge gamble. Nothing like Alice's forced win or Lauren's £100,000 win and I think your actually right trest. I've been doing some thinking and research on DOND and it does look like it would have been 100k with a 15k/250k climax. He offered Graham, Claudine, Morris and Jennifer with a lower backup, well except Morris.

if it wasnt the birthday week i do actually think it wudve been under £100,000 i think hed offer minium of £80,000 maybe more because he did offer eddie a low offer with £20,000 and £250,000 climax only £70,000 but thats in a normal game if this was a normal game i sed what id think he offer maybe less maybe more but the offers are quite low now if dond is back for season 5 i hope they will be a season 5 the offers might improve massively i hope they do or even before then and thanks for agreeing.

The reason why I said it would have been a forced big win is because the Banker actually told him where the £250,000 was. If that's not trying to give it away then I don't know what is.

i nearly switched off when i witnessed this stupid "oh i want to look inside a box" business from the banker. i so wanted to shoot him for that! and as with a number of other recent gimmicks, i hope like james that this one does not become regular

The Banker could have easily been bluffing him and I don't think he would have swapped if he had gone to the end in live play. No one trusts him and I most certainly do not either. But at least it's all over and we can finally go back to the normal games, hopefully they'll be 10 times better but I'm not sure if the 22 players look like true gamblers and I can usually tell in my eyes when they are.

Woah banker's bday week over already? Hehehe - quite frankly I am glad I missed it although the last game seems good judging by the comments.

it was a good game until the "oh i want to look inside a box" business from the banker at 5 box - after which it descended into pure rubbish. yet the people on the dond fansite forums liked this bit. WHAT THE F***???

LOVED today's game even though she won a blue. No gimmicks at all, it was like Deal or No Deal of old. Shame it won't last.

Cath was a very good player, I was hoping she'd win big but sadly she won £750. And she looked like that girl from Sex and the City.

What do you mean James?

It just felt as if it was like an episode from the first two seasons rather than the third or fourth. Maybe it just seems so good compared to last week.

Well Plan Man's returned for the 1,987,403,265th time or something like that. >:( And see what I mean by the way he spoils games?? He doesn't even seem to give a **** if there are some people like myself who have not yet been able to see these games! GET RID OF HIM!! (for the 1,987,403,265th time) >:(

Shut up, Sean! And quit bothering me!

Wheeee! Getting annoyed now because I've demanded so many times that you be removed from this site? I wouldn't be making these demands if you showed some respect for me and other users who, unlike you, don't spoil games to a huge extent and give information as if they think "oh i know everything about DOND"! But if you're not going to show any respect, then leave this site ALONE!

Sean maybe he's learned his lesson now, at least he's not saying rude harsh comments about people's skin colour, or things like "Go back to Africa" which is what No Dealer would have said.

The problem is I don't think Plan Man has learned ANY lessons, and I believe he might never do so. Because I feel that even if every decent user ignored him, it would still not put him off posting these idiotic comments of his. And it doesn't matter that he doesn't say the sort of things that No Dealer says - that still does not make him any better than No Dealer!! I will probably NEVER trust Plan Man one little bit - and thus I will probably ALWAYS be calling for any comment of his to be removed, unless he does disappear off this site for good!!

great girl. I really wish that she had won a lot more money. enjoy £5,000
