Deal Or No Deal

[Spanor511]

He had the 100k all along. His wife was nodding at him to deal at 9k so they have nobody to blame.

Brad is going to be on Good Morning Britain at 7.50 to talk about the money raised to help him carry out his bucket list
---

I know - it's so mean but I was willing him to have the 10p.
I didn't see it all but he turned down £5.5k?
They bang on about 'well I came with nothing' and their feelings that they've got a large number - but the money they are offered is tangible not some imaginary thing in their head.

When Brad was offered the £12.6k the other day and his mum encouraged him to turn it down he (Brad) said that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to go further and get more. Even Stephen Mulherne said something like 'well so is being offered over £12k out of the blue' to get him to slow down and consider it.

They would be better off thinking they've got the 1p. Would make them less silly and more realistic and grateful for the offers.

That’s what I think is the sticking point for a lot of folk athe Go Fund Me - if you really wanted to fulfil your bucket list, I don’t understand why you’d turn down such a good offer. Yeah if you open £75k you might be a bit sad but that money was never yours and you’re still going away with a lot.

I thought the GFM had been set up at the time of filming rather than more recently - it could be a thing in future series because if I really needed money, I would be a lot more cautious than some if not most of the contestants have been so far. But if there’s a potential safety net…

Sorry for the spammy post:

* Brad genuinely thought he’d win big
* Rochelle (contestant) told him after she’d set up the GFM. They met at auditions and connected straight away
* It’s over £48k at the moment - Rochelle set the target at £20k
* Means the world to him. He’s had thousands of lovely messages. Very emotional talking about it
* Plans to spend the money on a trip to India and Thailand and go and see other places. He wants to do a bungee jump
* Always been skint. Doesn’t like to take money from anyone but his mum and is blown away
* Didn’t think anyone would be touched by his story
* Now at £51k since he’s been on air. “Still a long time ago” since they filmed and he was “content” with his £5. Feels it’s a bit too much. Has been asked to do a lot of interviews but this is his final one as he needs to decompress
* Ed Balls told him people wanted to donate because of who he is and he deserves it
* Charlotte Hawkins dad died of MND so they touched on the illness and how it affects him. (I didn’t realise he’s only 29). He has hand cramps and has had therapy for his speech. Feels positive he can deal with it. Charlotte told him to make the most of the money

That guy Jamie aka mystic meg is getting on my nerves. Today he had his daughters birthday so he said he thinks he has a blue, and it was blue. Aye well done mate, there was a 50% chance you were going to be right! mystic meg indeed...

That annoyed me, I’m sure if he were the one playing he’d say he had the 100k because it’s his daughter’s birthday

Brad's GFM now stands at over £48k.

I'm glad it was Joseph today I just find him an annoying contestant same with Jamie hope he's out the way soon
How stupid does his wife feel now for making him deal to early

Very annoying. Another prick that was psychic and knew what was in his box every game.

Searched for a thread for this and saw there isn't one

Anyone else watching this on ITV?

We are loving it!

The amount of shouting we've done at the TV for them to deal

[Restless Native]

Pretty sure that’s not true, I think it was 45 mins

Felt like 2 hours

 

[Jelly Bean]

I read somewhere it was the end of February it’s coming back. I agree, a new year one would have be good too

So will that be all new contestants?
If so frustrating to be on the programme and never picked.

 

[Spanor511]

So refreshing without all the emotional and journey pish.

really surprised old pyschic boy didn't go all way so glad he didn't get the mega money he tried to style it out at the end but he was so pissed

An oldie but a goody Noel's glee is always hilarious.



Btw does it irritate anyone that everyone does that thing of hands together in front of their faces? Nobody actually does it in real life do they?

Still, she took it well …

Fun fact (that everyone probably knows), there have been a few Executive Producers including Richard Osman and randomly, the guy who played Fiona’s Policeman boyfriend in Coronation Street (Glen Huggill). Don’t say I don’t tell you anything interesting now!

Hahahahah. I’ve never seen that before. What a spoiled brat of a woman. I’m loving Noel here, absolutely gloating in her misery

 

[Spanor511]

the guy from yesterdays show who turned down the £12k, well one of the contestants has set up a go fund me for him and its at £11k.

WTF? You are kidding me on? That’s absolutely ridiculous.
