Jenny its a just gameshow (possibly the best ever) there not made for the contestant, there made for our entertainment. As far as im aware Hugil or who ever the banker is have broke no rules. And at the end of the day P.J got something out of the game so he cant realy complain.

It would certainly be the best game show ever, if no other game shows had ever been made. That would surely stand it in good stead to be considered the best.

As Oscar Wilde almost said, if this is how Endemol treats its contestants, it doesn't deserve to have any.

Ah, there's no problem that can't be solved with the splashing of enough guilt money.

But this was probbely allways the plan. The Banker can play the game how he sees fit he isnt not ment to be the players freind.

Can someone confirm the rumours I've heard about a studio refresh for the next series of DOND? I've heard the brick walls to be replaced by a cliff-face style.

Anyone care to add anything?

I think Jenny was doing, what you might call a bit of "ironic paraphrasing". Or something equally pretentious Wink

Well, from what I've heard on www.dond.co.uk:

New Set - the brick walls have gone and been replaced with what looks like cliff faces, also the two DoND logo's in the audience have gone, been replaced with a pink neon sign on the East Wing side. Lighting change, big round columns with a bit of pink and orange - which does actually look better IMO.

New Beginning - 22 Identical Sealed Boxes, of which one contains quarter of a million pounds (with the £250k celebration screen with fireworks) on the values screen.

Phone Competition - Boxes are now chosen in the first break, phone lines open tilk midday day after, and also Post entry.

Male vs Female
The banker is having a battle of the sexes, as of 5th sep there will only be 2 men left, being replaced by women. The banker is seeing which is the most successful sex, so far the men have won roughly £20k each on average

Well if these rumors do turn out to be true, at least they are not trying to turn it into a NBC cloan.
