Yet another game where the player is given an offer after every box for no good reason.

Totally urelated to Pat's game but this is in reference to Michelle's game (today: 13th July) I actually enjoyed it and would have dealt at £3,333. Good on her for showing a little more courage and getting £18,000. That was a very clever offer, especially because the 1p was there. With a 100,000-1p climax I'd offer the same as the banker did in this game.

As I said before why should she be allowed to get an offer after each box, just because she had a sob story I thought the Banker didn't care. Anyway yes at last a completley free gimmick game and that £18,000 was a good offer I admitt, I probably would have dealt too. I really thoght she would have gone on though, although she might have swapped for box 8 which was on her card in which case she would have won 1p.

Did anyone hear what Noel said at the end. "If you have that bit, not that bit, that bit of extra courage you can win big money. Not any more with you know what, he may as well say "Even if you say deal, you can still be a mega winner". Oh Noel what has these gimmicks done to you.

even on digital spy they're saying that if at 2-box michelle had already dealt, the banker's 'offer' would have been much more than 18k... :)

I reckon the Banker's Gamble would have been offered if she had dealt before and left the 1p and the £100,000 at the end.

She rele convinced me that she was gonna go 4 it i wudve gone on at £18,000 though not bad offer but 50-50 bet yer i think its worth goin for neways hopefully its a gd game today good luck to the player.

Yes enjoy this week while it lasts as next week is the dreadful summer specials. On a more positive note though, if James is right and they do start on the 21st July to the 25th that means we only have 4 shows rather than a week of them.

Actually that's a mistake on my part. Monday is the 20th of July, so they'll be going from the 20th to the 24th.

Yes your right I just checked on my TV planner guide and they start on Monday, well at least it's one game short from the usual special shows which consist of six games. I just wonder how the ice cream thing is going to work?

I'm sure the Banker will be looking in several boxes during the week. And letting the player win whatever big money is inside.

Did anyone hear the news about former contestant Richard Pow who won £20,000 on Deal or No Deal in 2006. He fell five storeys high to his death down an office stairwell seconds after being seen using his mobile phone, it says on the Daily Mail. Rest In Peace Mr Pow, you were a brilliant contestant.

and i wouldn't be totally surprised if the banker was like "oh i want to look inside a box" again like he was on the last of his birthday specials. and yes i heard about richard pow - it's even more tragic when you consider he was only 26, and about to become a father too. RIP richard

well im not goin to spoil this but i know what happends in tmoz game i know hu plays n wot happends but im not sayin owt.

trest

How is that possible Trest?

what no dealer. And Joe im gonna say 1 thing about tmoz game n its sumthink u dnt like im sorry SPOILER: the bankers gamble will be offered tmoz and the player is simon thats all im gonna say. Sorry for spoiling it for anyone i wont say anymore i promise.

Im rele sorry for spoiling that for anyone if ur thinkin how do i know that its because i seriously do know Simon he told me his show wud be aired tomorrow after it was filmed in march.

Well if your right then that means after three great games without any gimmicks it will come crashing down tommorrow, I just hope it doesn't involve a power five win (especially the £250,000) and that he doesn't accept the gamble. Any way today's game was quite good, he kep't toying with everyone that he was the independent of duplicator. That £19,000 was a good offer actually, another good game although it wouldn't have been if the 1p had been left with the £75,000.

That £19,000 was a superb offer a word i dnt use much i wudve no dealed though and i wudve no dealed £21,000 too that wasnt a bad offer either and of course i wudve no dealed the 6th offer neway Joe if u wanna know what happends in tmoz game add me on msn zxcvbnm123321@live.co.uk i wont give to much away.

Thanks Trest and I have done but you should be careful not to give too much personal information on this site. Did anyone see the advert for the seaside specials today, that annoying kid who does that rap music was on and he was wearing armbands WTF. It looks like there will be more gimmicks in this years summer specials than last years and it's as bad as the Banker's Birthday.

I've also seen the Sun article which explains what happens in tomorrow's game, but somehow I doubt it will stop the Banker from offering the gamble in the future. Nothing else has.

Its Ok Joe ill just block/delete them if i get any bother thanks for carin neway mate i rele dnt know how that ice cream gimmick will work we'll just av to wait n see.

oh shoot i forgot to get a sun today ill have to see if my friends av gt a spare what i can borrow it was in paper james?.

It was actually on the Sun website. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/2535885/Noel-Edmonds-in-keel-or-no-keel.html

oh my god he didnt tell me tht hes wife fainted on set i never knew tht i knew she fainted on there weddin day but thts it.

I've just read about Simon's game on the Daily Mail and apparantly his wife faints in the studio. I wonder if they will actually show this or will it be edited.

It's really strange because have any of you guys noticed that every year in every season there is one episode where something strange happens and they actually include it when they could have just cut it out. In season one there was that incident where one of the players knocked a box over in Massimo's game, in season two there was a power cut in Kerry's game, in season three there was that incident where a box was empty in Reg David's game and now in season four we've had the incident where there was a flood in Adam's game and now tommorrow there will be another incident. Deal or No Deal is the only gameshow where it has so many problems that occurs each year.

ok well im wonderin if theyll show it or edit it out too and i agree sumthink does happen each year strange huh.

Trest

is that all u can say no dealer what do u want.

Well after three great games without any gimmicks it all comes crashing down, there are so many things I could rant on about in Simon's game. I knew he would win the £35,000, i'm sure everyone knew the way it was dragged out and after what had happened to his wife (no offence by the way) they wouldn't let him go away with a blue. The only thing i disliked about this game was the fact that he dealt at a rubbish offer of £4,300 and got the chance to win £35,000. I thought the Banker only offered the gamble when the offer they dealt at would have been the final offer anyway, apparantly not. I was hoping he would go away with 10p as he doesn't deserve a penny of that £35,000. Expect more games like this to happen next week in the dreadful seaside specials.

simons game today was brilliant you know they are going to win big money cause at the start of the show they dont speak so much so u know if theyre going to win but that £4,300 offer was rubbish and at the end the bankers gamble is rubbish to why cant tyey just play a normal game and be in with the chance like feel sorry for his wife. i know she fainted yesterday but i wasny expecting them to show it anyway. i hope dots game tomorrow will be really good and she goes all the way!! GO DOT!!!!!

WHEN ARE YOU PUTTING LOIS, MICHELLE, DANIEL, HARDAV AND SIMONS GAMES UP WHATS THE NAME OF THE SITE PERSON CAUSE THAT SITE IS BRILLIANT

ANYONE GOT MSN AND FANCY HAVING A DEAL OR NO DEAL CHAT

First of all Karl how do you know if Dot is going to play tommorrow and second the owner of this site is really busy and has had his internet connection troubled recently that's why. So you'll just have to sit back, grin and bear it.

CAUSE DOT IS MY GRANDMA AND IT WAS HER GAME AFTER SIMONS

Karl shut up goin on n i dnt knw how u got same ip address as me but stop impostin me.

i dont what u mean impostin i only starting commenting on here after todays game i dont know what u mean trest.

karl i aploogise ur ip address is a little different to mine i just realised im sorry about that i thought it was the same but its a little different to mine again sorry Karl.

thats ok trest have u got msn

yes its zxcvbnm123321@live.co.uk add me but if i get any trouble or owt i just block/delete them.

No doubt lots of people will be saying this is the best game for ages but it was just another forced big win won by someone who didn't deserve it. Whenever someone accepts the Banker's Gamble I always hope they win the lower amount whether their partner fainted or not as it serves them right for trying to win a bigger amount than the one they chose to leave the game with.

i agree with you james the bankers gamble is a waste of time

and u just knew when they included the fainting that this was another attempt to haul in those viewing figures. not quite as desperate as big brother celebrating its 10th anniversary when it's only 9 years old, but i have to say it wasn't terribly far off

I think Big Brother are celebrating their 10th birthday now because they don't know if they'll even be able to next year... anyway, just seven more shows to go until the summer break, and then fingers crossed for a fresh start in season 5.

Yeah and I hope the Banker takes some time off to work out that he's suppose to give as little money as possible instead of throwing money away. Also Noel's presenting styles are really annoying me now. For example today he said "You need to take 10p out" when the next (only) highest blue was £1. Then when the £5,000 was removed he said "I wanted to hold on to that" when the 35k and 20k were still remaining. Finally after Simon had dealt he said "If you are that bit braver, you can win mega money" does Noel understand the Banker's Gamble obviously not. All these I said are the Banker's fault really because they have affected Noel's presenting styles.

Just when we thought Friday's game couldn't have gotten worse, it did. Yet again another player comes out with a sob story and starts crying and acting so immature on TV. Again we have another player who gets an offer after each box for no good reason at all, i'm starting to fear that this will be a new gimmick on DOND where anyone who touches everyones heart will get an offer after each box. I'm glad she glad she declined the B/G, but she is one of the worst female players to play this month since Kerry's game. I'm starting to wish DOND was axed now.

i agree with u joe todays game was the worst i saw in ages like £3,500 is crap and grr i wish they wouldnt offer the bankers gamble well i bet they will for the seaside speicals again grrr.

And Noel is STILL calling all these gimmicks 'very rare'.

So far the nominees for the Worst Game of the Month are: Kerry, Simon and Geena. Kerry is still clear faviroute to take the award.

Expect to add to that next week.

Oh and Karl you were wrong, Friday's game wasn't Dot's at all.

Can anyone think of a time when the bankers gamble was offered and accepted and then they went on to win a blue? Is this not a little strange? Again in Geena's game 15,000 was in the box, and in the last few weeks it has always been the big money I really wish that the banker's gamble was done away with and offers after every box, I think season 2 was the best series of the show and now its really beginning to be quite boring and predictable

What happened on the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of July? I didn't see them as my birthday was on the 15th, was sort ob busy aswell lol.

Perry just read the previous comments on this page and it will tell you about the past games this week, Thursday's and Friday's was the worst in my opinion. Oh and happy birthday too are you 17 now.

joe if you keep on saying axe the show and that u hate some games why do u watch it!!!!

You can't forget that every now and again there is still a good, gimmick-free game, which is why we still watch the show. Although it has to be said that they are getting rarer and rarer.

I actually didnt mind Simon's game and i felt sympathy for his wife so i didnt mind him accepting the gamble and winning the 35k... never thought i'd ever be saying that but i thought it was just kinda... different to alice, mel and kerry's games, lol.

i agree with ur every word there james - in fact, i bet that no more than a quarter of the games in season 5 will be gimmick free

Yeah i mean what are the chances of going through an entire season without any gimmicks such as Banker's Gamble, future offers etc. Oh and Karl if i knew which episodes were going to be good and which were bad, then i would only watch the good ones if you know what i mean so just try to respect other people's opinions even if they do seem harsh.

I love dond i always will but i just wish the banker wudnt offer the bankers gamble i dnt mind future offers i sometimes dnt mind a offer after every box and i hate it wen he does this gimmick all or nothing i rele hate that especially in kerrys game but ill always like dond and i dnt think ill ever stop watchin it cant wait till see what the summer seaside specials will be like though.

Yay! Great game 2day with Mark and a brave player as well. I thought he was gonna deal at 25k but he showd courage 2 go for it and take 33k. Congratulations Mark.

I didn't see much of today's game was there any gimmicks, I only saw him deal at 33k which was a good offer I admitt. Anyway get ready for the seaside specials, I wonder how many gimmicks, banker's gamble, future offers and forced wins there will be.

No there was no gimmicks, the only bad thing was the first three offers wernt very good, lol. But other than that it was a great game and well deserved win for Mark.

I made the most of today's game as it was the last gimmick-free game of the season.

Yeah I'm 17, I can finally take driving lessons and take my theory test :D Oh I will catch up on the shows, on channel4.com/deal although, they don't seem to be very good. Oh and thanks Joe.

Just seen the first seaside special, and for the first time in a while the Banker actually tried to make the player win as little as possible rather than as much as possible.

It looks like the runners of this site have given up, shame I wanted to comment on some of the games last week. As for today I've only got one word for it TERRIBLE. It started out ok until the offers became crap, I mean that 2nd and 3rd offer was a joke. £9,180 and £12,500 when there was the 7 highest numbers still on the board. That £4,500 and £15,000 was a joke also, I would rather take my chances of going away with a blue than accept any of those rubbish offers. As for Dot, she didn't deserve that, I wanted her to spank the Banker and prove him wrong.

I have a feeling the Banker will continue to make poor offers this week as he's obviously trying to get them to 5 box. I would definatley have gone all the way in today's game though, I just hope to hell the last episode of this season is better than last years.

The banker was more sensible today with his offers I thought apart from £4,500, I would have offered £4,000, then £10,000, then £13,000 , then £12,000, 20,000 and then £100 and I would have forced her to swap the box and the banker did more or less the same so I liked this game

does anyone else notice the rather severe lack of originality in these special weeks? in most of them the player gets the opportunity at 5 box of an offer after every box if things go right, while if things go wrong the banker can look inside his or her box. and after the retention of the trick or treat thing at halloween and the good and bad eggs at easter, these summer specials are almost exactly the same as last year's - except with 'sun' and 'rain' ice creams in place of the 'sunshine' and 'sunburn' suitcases. one can complain to c4 and endemol about all this but they probably won't give a rat's behind

I wish I knew the number for Deal or No Deal or their e-mail address, because then i'd talk to them and complain about these special shows, gimmicks etc and ask them why they do it? Does it really gain more viewers? and Will you ever stop it or reduce it?

(Spoiler) Steph's game today was ok I admit, it was definatley an improvement from Dot's game yesterday the only thing I disliked was her crying and the poor offers throughout her game. Oh and the future offer as well.

I don't remember any future offers in today's game.

I think that summer specials are quite good, gives a change from ordinary play week after week, but the clothes are a bit strange, oh but nothing compares to bankers birthday week- the costumes! biggest mistake ever made by this program I think Steph's game was quite good 2day, I was quite surprised she turned down 15,000 and then 24,000

greta game today £35.000 was brill but if i was playing i would of gone one more box anyway well done steph. i might see u soon cause u only live 20 mins from me. and loving the look of the newbie today whats her name stevie is it.

here's a good question for everyone - if there was to be a deal before the 5 box stage, as was the case with chris in last year's halloween specials, is it conceivable (sic) that the banker could come up with yet another new gimmick at 5 box that gives the player the opportunity to go back into live play at that stage, as well as carry out the thing with the ice creams?

I don't know but I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT! Oh and James yes I made a mistake there wasn't a future offer from the Banker, it was Noel who said the next offer might be over £50,000 after Steph dealt.

Why has noone updated the games daily, Is that the point of this website? even if they updated week by week but the last updated game is almost 2 weeks ago now

You'll just have to grin and bear it Mark until it actually does get updated. Hopefully it won't be long as I want to post comments on the last 10 games. What a shame about poor Irene, she did not deserve that awful crash and yet again the Banker tells the truth. This worries me though that if on tommorrow and Friday's game the player choses the 'rain' ice cream, they might believe the Banker and end up sqandering big time. Only two more shows left CAN'T WAIT!!!

I have to admit I've been impressed by the Banker on the two occasions this week when he has looked inside the player's box. On both occasions he's caused the player to win a blue rather than let them win big money. At last he's doing what he's supposed to!

Well don't enjoy it too much James as he could easily go back to his old ways.

I'm getting a little impatient, I've missed a lot of episodes and don't have time to watch all of it, I'd really appreciate it if this site would hurry a little, so I can see what has happened. I've read this page and it confusing and can't tell different games apart lol.

I wonder if the site will bother to carry on into the fifth season.

(Spoiler) Today's game was another fair game, even though it was a special show but most of the offers were rubbish especially the £13,500 when the top six numbers were still on the board. I know Mr Banker that your job is suppose to give as little as possible but your also suppose to stop and get them out of the chair, not actually force them to the end. It's certain that he is just trying to force everyone to get to 5 box so that no one deals. Those last three offers at the end were rubbish too, I would have gone all the way to the end at that point but probably would deal at the £26,000.

That £29,000 offer was a disgrace. I mean I remember with Pam she had the same board, (3 box) but the only difference was she had £5,000 and he had £750. Still she was given £55,000. I think I would have dealt at the £31,000 offer though.

Again though we have another player who says there going to go the end and then deal, I'm getting sick and tired of people saying that now and I’m sure the Banker is. PS did anyone see the ad for 'Noel's Hall of Fame' which starts on Monday 3rd August, I wonder what that will be like. Mind you most of them will be forced wins by the B/G, Swaps and low offers.

Yes Pam did get a higher offer and Orry did as well and ironicly his blue was £1 and he got an offer of £41,000. It's probably because they declined higher offers and were braver. Also Perry why would you have dealt at £31,000 when all you have to do is open one box at a time, even if it was one of the power three you would still get a decent offer. I would have gone even if it was a normal three box game.

so, just one show to go, and i'd say that out of 100 people, at least 70 are relieved to some extent about this. :) i'm still in new york so i won't b able to see it, but i wouldn't bet on it being less bad than last year's season finale - low offers of high ridiculosity, the banker's gamble, and a twist with the holiday at the end, and i will never forget everyone cheering william's 11-box offer of 7.5k as though he had been offered 10 times that, even though he had 5 amounts bigger including the 250k, 50k and 35k. that was like teeth being pulled! nor will i forget the stupid clips at the end showing the contestants clapping to fairground attraction's 'perfect' - one of the soppiest songs ever IMHO, and highly inappropriate too. surely the producers can't sink so low as to play that song again at the end of this season finale, regardless how the game goes?

I would deal at £31,000 because the one box at a time makes no difference to me. I mean you could hit the biggest sum, or the second highest straight away and then the banker would decrease the offer and "punish me" but thats the way I look at it. Hopefully todays game will be a goodie :D

I agree with british leyland, I have a funny feeling that today's final episode of the season will be just as bad as the final episode of last season. I just wonder if they will show highlights of the season or contestants and staff dancing to another dreadful summer song.

I was absolutley right today's game was as bad as last years finale. I had a feeling Callum would play today and he was the most ANNOYING contestant EVER!!! That bloody rap was annoying too and he acted like a baby on national TV, I would be so embarrassed if I was his Mum. I was hoping the £100,000 would go actually because that £40,000 was just so obvious that he would take. Not the most exiting £100,000 climax of DOND. I think it was fix.

On the brighter side there was no summer song and Deal or No Deal is over for the summer. HOOORAYYYY.

I thought this season's last game was better than last season's due to there being no bonus or BG. Incidentally, during the advert for Noel's Hall of Fame, did anyone notice that all the clips shown were ALL from seasons three and four? It's probably because Noel's notoriously terrible memory doesn't extend beyond August 2007.

Ok maybe my prev comment was a bit harsh and I apologise. It might have been as bad as last years but It did involve a future offer though which was ridiculously high. Anyone would deal at £40,000 at that point, it's out of the question completly. I still haven't found one good reason for the future offers and all these extra gimmicks yet. Oh and I will watch Noel's hall of fame but most them are from season three and four, which aren't my faviroutes.

I loved Callum's game, and now there isn't a need to complain, his offer reminded me to Susan's £42,000 with a 50p-£100,000 climax. Cannot believe the Banker kept to his word and actually offered £40k!

there were some very good games in seasons 3 and 4 - the 75k games of daniel in season 3 and keran and amy in season 4 are up there among the very best, while charly copeman's 20k game on 5 november 2007 was good too (just a shame they all had to dress up as it was bonfire night - she would have been much better in a dress ;) ). also the dramatic 1p games of the beautiful katie walsh on 5 january 2008, and matty in that year's easter specials. but i'll bet the games noel wants to relive are the ones with fixed big wins like alice's...

and as for noel's notoriously terrible memory (well said there james) - well, i'm pretty sure he'll always remember laura pearce, but if he's struggling to remember nick bain, lucy harrington, kirsty hardle, morris simpson, tax free harry, break a leg jeff, baby faced assassin joey, 101k graeme and 85k rodney, among others, then OH DEAR LORD. (i'm not religious BTW.) even though it's not all that long ago since the 1000th show???

and i may as well take the number of comments on this page to 3 figures by asking james, what's the final average for season 4?

Final season averages: S1: £16,056, S2: £18,470, S3: £14,309, S4: £15,647. Total winnings (excluding bonuses) over all 1098 shows: £17,642,690.16, making an overall average of £16,068.

Over 100 comments WOW this has got to be a record. I was dissapointed that they didn't show highlights of season 4 as well. Even though a lot of them involved gimmicks there were some. What about Karen Jackson who broke the record of taking 9 blues in a row, had the best turn around in ages and won 75 grand, then there's Pam 'white whitch' with that wand who declined a massive £55,000 but still won 35k, Ade was another great player who turned down some big offers and went away with 17.5k, Walter who kep't on saying "happy birthday" and "red or blue"

There were a couple of £35,000 (gimmick-free) wins as well like Claire's for example, Stephen from the countdown to the 1000th show yes his involved extra offers at 5 box, but he went to the end and therefor counts as gimmick-free, well in my opinion anyway. Oh and Lisa's game from the 1000th show wasn't too bad either, MUCH better than Andy from the 3rd bday. Amy's game was great also as she created the most powerful 5 box ever and dealt at 75 grand. Apart from that that's it really.

so the average for season 4 is greater than that of season 3 - but there's no question that it would b considerably lower if it weren't for all those forced big wins (alice, lauren, mel etc etc etc) :)

Well Series 4 is at an end and I have a top 10 and bottom 10 games :P, lol. Top 10 - 1. Joe (20k) 2. Ben (25k) 3. David (6.5k) 4. Billy (68.555k) 5. Daniel (16.5k) 6. Eddie (70k) 7. Jay (20k) 8. Ade (17.5k) 9. Mark (33k) 10. Stephen (35k) Bottom 10 - 1. Alice (250k) 2. Mel (50k) 3. Kerry (15k) 4. Stan (20k) 5. Ella (75k) 6. Olivia (1p) 7. Andy (50k) 8. Nikki (£100, i liked her was just a shame 2 be so unlucky) 9. Geena (3.5k) 10. Anna (10k)

My worst season 4 games in no particular order are Alice's, Kerry's, Mel's, the first Easter Special, the forced £75,000 win during Santa v Scrooge, the first Christmas Star (which had a £250k Banker's Gamble), the two games in which another Alice situation was one box away and the last Banker's Birthday special (in which the Banker looked in a box despite the player finding no 'Phoney' Clowns. No doubt most of them will be part of Noel's Hall of Fame.

They probobly will b in Noel's hall of fame. What wud ur fav games be James?

Oh and I completley forgot about this months contestants. Well the award for Worst Game of the Month is................................ Kerry. Booooooooooooo...

DOND can use a break! I kept missing episodes anyway lol.

I think the best game of season 4 was definitely Keran's game, which featured the best turnaround ever (and that's not one of Noel's famed exaggerations).

I missed Keran's game so i cant say much about it, lol. I still think 97 year old Joe and Ben the old guy with the long white hair produced the best games of the season, lol. Did u enjoy those games?

Would anyone out of interest else know how to run this website? If I knew i'd be glad to take over.

As DOND is finished for summer, we can use this as random off topic chat. Joe your name Rhymes with loads of things. Hoe, Po, Go, Row, Flow, So, Mo, Dough LOL.

Er not really Perry I prefer to talk just about DOND on a DOND Fansite. If you want to talk to me about random things or things in life then talk on msn.

You wish DoND got axed?...You really havent been the since Alice's game havent you Joe?.
