It wouldn't have been commissioned at the payout rate that C4 had - and £6k on average is still above what Tipping Point, Lingo and Tenable pay out and might even be above The Chase average too.

It's not so much the lower jackpot that kills the game but the lower reds - having only 5 boxes of £10k and over compared to 8 previously. If they had just swapped out the £250k with £2000 then it might have played out better with more double figure boxes in play, though it raises the average value of the boxes by about £1500.

You called it, it is indeed Jamie today - and he bottled it! Dealt at five boxes left but should've waited for the last offer.

I think he took the sensible offer at the right time, even if it didn't play out that way. We've seen it go the other way so many times.

That final offer was ridiculous of £74,900 with £25k and £100k in play. Even if offering above average around £65k would have been more of a dilemma - you're not going to essentially risk £50k to win £25k.

Stephen annoyed me today saying that Jamie had always advised to play on if the £100k was in play which wasn't the case at all - he pretty much always called a good offer as the time to deal and always cautioned about rejecting real money with the risk of losing one or two offers which would bring down the game - and got the player to consider not winning what was in their box, but what the next offer would be and whether they would accept that.

I guess from the comment of the show being back "at Christmas" with celeb specials means they didn't think that would just be two days later than when the show played out. When is the second special BTW and who is the celeb?
