    First time I've watched this in a while, how are those Dream Bingo sponsor ads for this show allowed?! If the tables were turned and they had blokes "dreams" of women with big tits there would be an outrage.

    When does the series end?

    The current episodes are repeats as there weren't any x2 counters in the machine.

    I can't believe she (Madeleine) took the trade and threw away £2700. It was obvious she needed at least two counters in the right place to win the jackpot and the top shelf didn't have counters in the right place for her to achieve it.

    Because she was a greedy B***H! She deserved to lose.

    Are they on a repeat week again as there wasent any X2 counters.

    Where do they find these contestants? Little general knowledge and they all dropped the counters far too late.

    I was busy today and only saw the finalist being offered the trade for £2950. The jackpot counter was level with the front edge and hard against the left side in section 1. He refused the trade and, as usual, Ben said "let's see what you would have done" or whatever he does say. We then saw Ben actually press the release button for the first counter, not the contestant. We didn't see who pressed the second time but the jackpot counter tipped over the edge.

    Of course Ben said you should have gambled. Of course that's rubbish if he didn't actually release the counters himself, anything could have happened if he had.

    These counters and board are fixed so I think he did know that the guy would have won if he chose to gamble.

    He probably wouldnt have won if he had gambled.

    I would have to agree with that but the question is, who releases the counters in this situation?

    Not today he didn't. You could see Ben release the first counter.

    I agree he didn't gamble. Ben did his usual let's see what would have happened if you had gambled. The final three counters were dropped and you clearly saw that Ben released the first counter. You didn't see who released the second and third counter but whoever it was wouldn't have won had they gambled.

    Hopefully we will see the new series back rather than these repeated ones.

    The finalist today didn't gamble either and Ben was shown releasing the counters to see what "would have happened". Of course Ben released them at exactly the same time as the contestant would have done, not!

    They must think the viewers are stupid. On second thoughts maybe we are for watching it.

    I remember that woman from last time. Her voice drove me mad so turned off.

    Why are we getting repeats for a third week in a row? All other breaks have been two weeks. Cant they at least finish the series then put repeats in.

    I can recall seeing him when this first aired but could not remember how badly he did.
    Likeable young guy though.

    I think the guy, Scott, who got knocked out in the third round, thanks to his awful late releasing of the the counters, would have done better in the final in the last round than the young guy did. He only mustered £1500 in four rounds.
