    I watched this show for the first time end to end on Sunday, so prolly saw the show that started this thread off.

    Do people really stand there for weeks at a time to open a box that someone else has chosen until they get a go?

    I did have to laugh when she would have been offered £1k, but was rude to the banker and she was offered £300.

    There is a small amount of skill involved in deal.
    You are playing the odds based on boxes gone and left, knowing what likely offers will be based on those boxes left.

    The skill is not in pickign the boxes, but knowing when the odds are against you
    Still 99% luck, but you can play the banker to some extent
