My thoughts exactly! Not that they 'Got Rid' of her. She's having her baby soon, so after Big Bro was done; she must wont to put her feet up. Anyway, Mel is not as good as Davina!

We've had various discussions about doilys on here before, usually with reference to Susan Osman; but what was that lump of black net curtain that Mel had draped round her neck last night?

Nick, given your comments about Sara Edwards last night, I dread to think what you've been saying about Susan Osman. Wink

Well I just watched the Vault, and don't kill me for saying this, but it all looked like a bit of a fix. A few points :-

-Mel didn't start the clock until 21:11, and since the show ends at 21:15 (Or is supposed to) I knew it was gonna be won right from the word go.

-The contestant had practically answered the question before Mel had finished reading it out! Also she had way more than 9 seconds anyway, since Mel only started the clock after reading the question (Plenty of extra thinking time)

-The series must be coming to a end soon

-At the end the contestant had something like £30,000 - £28,000 after broker fees. How come the final total was something like £704,000 Shocked

And while I think of it, Mel has NEVER, EVER talked about the last question choice IIRC.

So well done, but I still think it was more of a fix than a win.

I'm sorry, but you've made a claim and given the worst set of reasons ever as to why you think it was a fix. You clearly haven't watched the show much. Twas a clear, honest win in my opinion.
