For a game which contained no gimmicks, it was actually quite dull.

I could tell he was going to deal eventually, with his emotions and sob stories.

(Spoiler) Terrible game today, she didn't deserve such bad luck. Another stunning young girl goes empty handed again. I hated that woman who cried like a baby when she revealed the 50 grand. For goodness sake it's just a game love not Jeremy Kyle, Trisha or Jerry Springer.

[spoiler] I liked today's game. It was a bit like Cath's game in that there was a blue win but absolutely no gimmicks.

A beautiful woman wins low if i werent married with 2 kids i wudnt say no to her rarest thing on dond highest offer was the 1st thats rare 1st offer was massive. Well Darrens game was worth goin all the way even at the 5th offer i wudve no dealt.

I didn't watch all of Darren's game, I know this is gonna sound bad but I fell asleep and also, I found his accent annoying. Yeah I know you can't control it, but oh well. Sorry if I've offended everyone and as for Kulwinder's game, what a shame her opening offer was the highest. I think I would have dealt on the 5th round, plus I predicted the offer correctly, woo!! SPOILER: The 50p club was so rare but after Pippa it seems it has been flooded.

Also the Banker didn't provide her with a bonus. Reminds me of the good old days, even though this was a bad one. Let's hope they keep it this way from now on.

I've noticed recently how all the contestants have played their games after only about 20 or so games, whatever happened to the ones where the contestant had been there for 30+ games before?

Possible spoiler: If only Leigh played when Kulwinder played. Oh well.

(another possible spoiler) is there anyone else who doesn't like it when the banker makes an offer that includes cash for a recent player who had an awful game?

I don't really like it because he's effectively offering a Bonus to the person who won a blue.

Why did he do that in today's game? I didn't watch it, I just got a friend telling me she won £x.

It's been a long time since the Banker's offered something like that. Also does anyone hate it when the Banker usually offers dream holidays, football VIPs to watch a game and have autograph signed by one of the players etc. It was ok at first but I prefer money being offered than dream holidays or trips.

And The Banker is "the most evil man on the planet", according to Noel. Contradictory more like.

Great game today, not one of the biggest money wins but at least it didn't involve any gimmicks. Although I would've carried on at the offer he dealt at, everyone is different and it is a lot of money. PS I'm getting sick and tired of Noel reffering to the 1p kiss, but when they've already dealt they don't have to.

Then it changes to the £250,000 kiss if its in play. Also, did you remember he tried to establish a new tradition? The "Quarter Million Slap" it was a joke for the first show but he did try it for the second but it didn't continue.

I don't remember that, I didn't watch Deal or No Deal when it first started. I also hate it when Noel says "You want to aim at the top left" which is 1p-£1. Really it doesn't make any difference as long as it's a blue or a low red even. Another one is whenever a player takes one of the small block of reds say 10k, 15k or 20k Noel says "I wanted to hold on to that" but when they've dealt he says "No that's not good enough. And another anoying one is when the pilgrims start clapping if a blue or low red comes out when the player has dealt Noel says "WHO CLAPPED, WHY ARE YOU CLAPPING". Honest a god this is suppose to be a serious entertaining drama gameshow, now it's turned into a Jeremy Kyle/Al Murry show, with tears and emotions.

By saying Jeremy Kyle/Al Murray, I mean it's like a show filled with people's tragedies in life and then a stand up comedy show on another night if that makes sense to you all. Does anyone agree with me?

If i was a producer on the show, i would ban sob stories, 1p kiss, hugs and kisses after every single box opening (Christ!), Banker's Gamble, themed shows, the use of the word "pilgrims" and joke offers. I sound like The Grinch now.

I agree Joe all those things are serious annoyances and another one sometimes is how he says "oh that is dragging the offer down" but I've heard him say that to practically every low blue (or banker power five) regardless of the strength on the right hand as if to cover up for an obvious low offer.

(Spoiler) Referring back to comments 16 and 17, if anyone watched today's game then it will show you what I meant by all the silly comedy and stupidity. Noel's shouting, taking the player outside, Noel sitting outside and bringing a workman inside the studio. I mean they think it's funny but Noel and everyone is just acting like a prat.

oops I meant comments 17 and 18, I apologise.

excellent game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
