Has anyone else noticed, when a contestant gets an answer wrong, in which Ben knows himself, he says the answer in a patronising voice?

He does it all the time as if to say "how could you not know this". As if he knew the answers if he didn't have them written on a card in front of him. No chance.

To be fair, a lot of people on here does the same.

I suppose them coming on here and moaning how they didn't know the answer is kinda gloating lol.

But tbh I haven't really noticed Ben doing it.

Yay! Exciting finish. She seemed nice (didn't watch the whole show). Glad she won on the gamble.

Congratulations Naomi. She took the trade and won £10K with her last counter.

She was crazy to risk it. Gamble £3550 to gain £6450 ?

It would make more sense to take the money and bet £500 on various things.

If the counter is hanging off then I would have done the same. Still a risk, but too tempting.

Glad she won though, nice cheerful person with a lovely smile.

Why can't the last contestant get the winnings they already have on top of the £10,000 if they win that? If you've accumulated, say, £2,000 or £3,000 then win the 10 Grand surely you should be allowed to keep it all?

It's called jeopardy. There wouldn't be any point if they could keep their winnings anyway.

I think trebleking meant it was still all or nothing, but you get the 10 grand on top of your pot.

I don't think Dave would have won if he'd played all night. His counter dropping was woefully late all through the game. He was lucky to reach the semi final.

I meant if they win the 10 grand at the end. Fair enough if you fail to win it, you lose everything, but you should get to keep what you've built up along the way if you win the ten thousand.

I get so annoyed when bad drop timing leads to lots of riders, yet they seem to think it's purely down to bad luck! How Ben Shepherd stops himself from screaming at them, I don't know.

My God. They get some thickies on this show, don't they?

I thought the South American country, named after the Latin for silver, was pretty obvious too.

I don't have to look at your profile to know that you're a male.
Mens' knees buckle at the sight of a pretty girl's smile.
