(Warning this will be a very long comment) So far this week has been a catastrophe, Laura's game on Monday with a stupid special gamble, Matt's game yesterday which (despite no gimmicks) was a disaster and now we have Dawn's. We had sob stories, rubbish offers and gimmicks. That part where the Banker phoned back to remind Jo if the next box was £100,000 he'll punish Dawn was uncalled for and I'm even going so far to say Noel was just as bad by rubbin it in on Jo. Why the hell didn't he just answer back and say "don't be so mean" and put the phone down. Who's side are you on Noel? Then we have one of the worst deals ever, probably in my top 5 worst deals. To make an offer at 6 box is just pathetic and to deal is even worse. Did she honestly believe if the £75,000 went the next offer would come crashing down. I reckon the offer would have been £10,000 which is hardly a disaster, so it was completly worth going for. I knew she would deal anyway as there was only 5 minutes left at 6 box so there was no time left to finish the game. If this week is just as bad, i'd hate to think what next week is going to bring.

I actually enjoyed this game, thought that the offers were good especially 11,500, can't agree with the deal at 6 box, the offer would not have been less than 8,000 if the 75,000 went and if any of the other reds went the offer would climb, I think that 17,500 would have been fine at 5 box I think, My offers would have been £8,000, £13,000, £7,500, £9,000, £17,500 and finally £11,000, It's quite likely she would have went at 5 box with 17,500 but it's happened before where the banker introduces one of the gimmicks of a special deal or no deal week on the week before, but extra offers are becoming almost inevitable so love week doesn't really have anything special to it anymore- costumes look ridiculous, why do they have to dress up? Pink boxes and extra offer- fine but I think they should stop wasting their money on costumes and setting that audiences see as ridiculous- when viewers see strange outfits they are more likely to change the channel (this is also an very very long comment)

I have to say that I was VERY ANNOYED at the 6 box offer. That was another pathetic gimmick the Banker did. I really don't want to know what Noel is going to say tomorrow. The chances of taking out a Red is very high yes but the chance of taking out the £75K was about 14%. I would've gone on for the last box and then taken the £22,500 (if I didn't take out £75K). I am seriously dreading Love Week. I hope there isn't that annoying one box at a time gimmick but there probably will be. Also, NO MORE MINIGAMES! I don't want another Santa VS Scrooge style gamble again. So, another game gets ruined by the Banker's annoying gimmicks. February 2010 is really not a great month for DOND so far. I thought what the Banker did to Jo was just not fair. £5 would just be a very cruel offer.

i agree with everything u said there joe and i was just thinkibng earlier with love week next week there wont be proper speical shows then till may bankers birthday cause the easter shows he only gives them eggs to choose at then end to double money so that will be fine dawns game today was much more exiting than the last 2 games well 3 we have had cause i dont think bens game was all that either sorry

opps and soz i forgot to add to my comment i read next week theres going to be 2 temples one with love in and the one has cupid and the other one devil if they find devil the banker gets to look in the players box and if they find cupid they get a speical prize and a chance to go on after every single box plus yep as u guessed i was speaking to davey on facebook and the love necklace will be involved who ever gets picked will win a spa break for 2

that 6 box gimmick...urgh what the hell was that all about??? that really got me soo annoyed. As if the 5 box gimmick wasnt bad enough now hes doin 1 at 6 box? and as for her dealing at that point, that was just pathetic, its like the players r falling in 2 the bankers traps, and ofcourse the banker is loving it. if it was me playing 2days game i wuda gone all the way, even tho it was only a £10k box a still wuda gone for it. sorry once again for the long comment

ur right there jem she should have gone on that annoyed me 2 that silly gimmick god it would be lovely to have 3 in a row gimmick free shows till them games on monday but do u think the banker will let it and as for noel u are right when the banker said if jo revieled 100k the offer would be £5 i was like wtf theres loads of money on there and the 1p gone thats so stupid like. everyone is so happy until the banker gets evil there was no need to make jo cry like that was it banker anymore and ill tell ur dead grandparents grandmamama and grandpapa lol yes if u all ready guessed on more 4 this week they are showing the halloween shows again loads of gimmicks. and another thing i notice is noel makes it worse when the banker calls by saying that good friend did this and that and its not nice at all but come on guys chin up we all will and lets hope pray that we will have good shows tomorrow thursday and friday. and i would also like to wish stu,jem and joe all the best cause they are over 18 yrs if u do the deal applications my fingers are crossed for u guys to get on and u tell that banker if hes evil from me thanks and sorry for the long comment lol in the start of the week deal was like watching paint dry lol but they are getting a bit better now not with the silly gimmicks but it was more exiting but tomoz better be better hehe once again soz for the long comment take care karl xx

THere's no mention of the 6 box offer, or the £22.5k 5 box offer in thhe commentary above.

is that noel edmonds in comment 8

Oh great just great that means there is an opportunity for the Banker to look inside the box in Love week, fantastic. I was hoping it would be like last years where they just picked the neckless and got one extra offer, that's it. I'm dreading to fear that with all these gimmicks, special shows, offers in between games etc, it will come to a point where we never have a normal (22 boxes, 5 in the first round, 3 for the rest and no gimmicks) game again. Oh and Karl I doubt it and am sorry to say this but the Easter shows are just as bad and I don't want another one of those gambles again where they got a chance to win more at the end, like Tony's last year.

I think £17,500 was a good offer, especially if your only persuaders are £75,000 and £20,000! Once the 75k goes, the Banker may only make a profit of £2,000! Think! Don't just keep complaining about the offers being low, because sometimes they are not THAT bas as some make it out to be.

ur right joe the gimmicks in the eatser show towards the end are a waste of time

well i guess this all but confirms that an offer during a round is a regular gimmick now. and i agree with what joe says about dawn's deal - was she honestly that petrified about the £75k going??!? i know i'm sounding mean here but i was seriously tempted to shout "buck buck buck buck, chicken!" at the TV. thankfully the reaction to the whole thing on the fansite forum was lukewarm :) and as for the banker's threatening future offer in the 3rd round, well, that was totally unnecessary - yet it was clear from what noel did immediately afterwards that he liked it. yet more proof that he is becoming more and more of an obnoxious git than anything else...
