Sorry about not updating the games thread, but I'll just give you a quick run through of the best bits since Halloween.
We had the banker's creep, Howard, play on the Friday after Sandra' sgame, and he had n opening offer of £18,000, but went on to knock out the £100,000 (box 1) and £250,000 (box 11) in the following round, and went away in the end, with just £1.
On Bonfire Night, Kelly came out dressed for Bonfire Night with a black box 11. She knocked out the £250,000 almost immediately with box 16 with the newbie - Anna Marie. Kelly's luck improved, despite knocking out the 75k (box 22), and she dealt at £12,500, but she had £100,000 in her box 11.
Gaz became the first male player to sell a 1p box for a larger value, on this occasion, for £10,000.
Nalini took away £10,000 for the needy children of Sri Lanka after going all the way in a relentlessly unlucky game.
Helen played on the 300th show with box 11, and dealt at £21,000 - and going on to find £250,000 in box 4, which had it for the 3rd consecutive game.
Rachael won £30,000 in a fantastic game where she never had a good board, but she kept the £250,000 long enough to get a fantastic offer which she couldn't refuse.
Madeleine went away with just £1 after going all the way , turning down several good offers, but she believed in her 'lucky' box 11, which turned out to have £1.
Tony squandered the chance to win £80,000 fter dealing at £20,000, and then keeping the 250k to the end, but it wasn't in his box 10.
Lynne went away with an amazing £75,000 after knocking out the 100k (box 2) and 250k (box 11) in round 1, and then turning down £22,076 at the last offer with 10p and £75,000 left, and opening her box 8 to find £75,000.
David suffered huge amounts of bad luck throughout the game, but he kept 50k there for a while, before he lost it in box 11, thereby destroying the whole game and swapped away £1,000 for £500.
Lucy missed out on an offer of over £100,000 after selling her box 10 for £35,000, but the £250,000 stayed until the end, but wasn't contained in box 10.
Ingerlise suffered bad luck throughout the game, and dealt at £15,000, but to everyone's horror, for the first time since Debbie's game back in June, the £250,000 was on the table in her box 9.
Ned swapped away his £250 for £75,000 mid way through the game, but dealt at £15,000.
Mike swapped away his box 2 at the end of round 1, for box 11. He opened box 2 in the following round and it revealed 1p, so he gave away the 1p. He dealt at £26,500, but proving it was a good swap, his new box 11 contained £20,000.
Jim swapped away £20,000 for £250, in his belief the £20,000 couldn't have been there 3 games running, but it was and he gave it away and went away with just £250.
Donna dealt at £21,000 after some bad luck, but even worse luck came in the proveout when her last 2 boxes were the £100,000 and the £250,000 where the banker would've offered £170,000, and to make matters worse, she had the £250,000 in her box 1.
Claudine today had an amazing game, where she had the guts to turn down £44,031 with just 50k and 250k above it. After knocking out the 50k, she kept the 250k along with 10k to the end, where she became our second highest winner ever with a deal at £107,031, but the third time in its history, box 22 had cariied out the £250,000.
On Christmas Day and Boxing Day, £500,000 will be up for grabs in the 2 primetime shows, and in the new year, we will have our first ever £250,000 winner.
