It is very rare for the Banker to offer the average at the last two boxes. You need a good reason not to take it. He is effectively offering you the chance to end the game and suffer no penalty. If you turn down it down you are really just gambling on the toss of a coin with no edge on the bet when you don't need to.
I would have taken the £6,500 and played it on Box23. Box23 is more favourable for middling and low sums this week because of the extra +£10K. If you're playing it for something like £5K there isn't a huge difference between getting halved (as you normally would be) and getting quartered.
Had they swapped their box and ended up with the £3K,they would surely have played Box23 with it and would actually have ended up with slightly more money.
Looks like I was spot on about the "appy" DOND announcement today. Just an app, nothing too spectacular.
I'd have taken the £5,000 at 8-box to Box 23. The offer was very generous as the mean is around £8,000 and the fair deal is around £2,800.

I'm surprised you wouldn't have dealt at 8 box, Sarahsaurus. That was a no brainer of a Deal for me, as:
1. It was 62% of the average, which is extremely generous on a two box game at that stage.
2. Even if you have an all-blue round, the Fair Deal would only rise to roughly £6,800 and given the Banker almost always offers around the Fair Deal at 5 box, there's VERY little to gain unless you blindly go to the end.
3. If you take the £5,000 to Box 23, you have a 60% chance of winning five figures and only a 20% chance of disaster, which is MUCH better than the odds of winning five figures and the odds of disaster on the board.
I would've taken the £5,000 to Box 23 and won £5,000 more than Kelly and Marie even though they had against the odds good fortune in the main game.

Well,I didn't actually see the game today so I wasn't following it. I only posted because I noticed from the commentary that the Banker had offered the average,which doesn't happen very often.
60% of the average is too low for me to accept on only £5,000. I'd rather carry on. Remember that because of the modified Box23,even if you end up with a blue you've still got a 40% chance of winning ten thousand. So I'd rather carry on. Basically with the modified Box23,it works best if you win a lot,or you end up with a blue.. If you win a lot you refuse it and if you win a blue you've got double the chance of the £10K payout that you'd normally have.
But all this debate about strategy,to be honest,seems largely academic now.
We know that there have been enough shows filmed to take us well into next year.
And there's no sign as yet that there are plans to make any more.
I have much less interest in the show now,knowing I am watching shows that were filmed ages ago and there may not be any more made.
As an aside I would say to Richie that your commentary is as always excellent. But with the show at its new earlier time there is likely to be next to no input from anyone else on this thread,even less than before,certainly during the game itself.
As you are providing the commentary entirely voluntarily,unofficially and without payment I think you should give some serious thought to retiring. You are under absolutely no obligation to anyone to continue to provide the commentary and I would not blame you for one minute if you chose to give it up,as there is now so little interest in this thread.

Oh Sarahsaurus you sound so high and mighty there in your invite to Richie to retire! I think Richie does it as a labour of love and not as a chore, well that's how I view it. You can tell me if I'm wrong Richie.
You still seem very interested Sarahsaurus, especially with your detailed explanations. I watched today's game this evening but I kept drifting from it. It was standard fare, nothing special. I'll much prefer when it gets back to a single player in the crazy chair.
I'm rather surprised that the news of the formal cancellation of DOND has not been made public yet. It can't be long now one would think, unless there is some real hardball stuff going on about the continued Channel 4 contract giving it a slim lifeline maybe.
Noel wore the same purple suit for all 4 games this week! That must be a first. I know they record multiple shows on the same day but there is normally a clothes change between the recordings.

I was pointing out that interest in this thread was waning before the break and is now likely to be even less with the new time slot. There are now days when there are no comments from anyone else during the game,except for Richie's commentary,and I can only see those days increasing. I would find that a bit dispiriting to be posting the commentary day after day when it seems nobody else is interested.
If Richie is happy to carry on,then fine. I was only saying that that he shouldn't feel bad if he thought it was time to call it a day
Here are the results of last week's short box game.
Congratulations to Jediknight2k1 (winner) and Marianna01 (runner up) and a specially minted wooden spoon goes to Coupon Boy for the lowest total I think we've ever had (although it was only a 4 game week)

Wow, 13p Coupon Boy.
That is so low it's brilliant to have been in the 1p club three days out of 4!
Next Friday at 8pm is another celeb repeat. This time it's Jimmy Carr's game from way back in 2012 when Box 23 and the offer button never existed!

The James Corden episode got just 640,000 viewers!
Hopefully back to normal games on Tuesday, no mentions of more Double Trouble weeks....at least not yet
Should be the (final?) Halloween specials next if they are carrying on with those next month

Not surprised. I'm a fan of DOND but why would I want to watch that again? To be showing 3 year old Jimmy Carr repeats in primetime of DOND is utterly tragic when there are fresh episodes they could give a primetime chance to if they had the desire. I don't know about anyone else on here but I find the whole thing contemptible by shunting the new shows to a no man's land time around lunch yet digging out ancient celeb shows for peak viewing. As if Jimmy Carr isn't on Channel 4 more than enough already!

TFI could be going into the 8pm slot when it returns in three weeks. The days of putting regular DOND in peak are long gone, as if celeb ratings are dire enough.
