It made perfect sense on paper as it was a race to the bottom to see who walked out with money last night. Just like last year's contest with who pushed the button first hence choosing the lowest amount to walk out of the house that night night. At least that's what they were told.

But it was completely unbelievable and I think Dexter has the good sense to suss that out, while hedging his bet. To believe someone had the ability to walk out of the house with nearly all of the prize fund was not credible unless the amount to choose from started at around 50,000 pounds and went down from there. And I think Dexter knew this so did not expect to get the money but gambled that coming in at the bottom was a good thing anyway.

Had he been 100 per cent sure of this, he absolutely would have taken the one pound to look like a selfless hero, but there was a seed of doubt as there would be for anyone. He didnt want to take the big gamble of looking like a mug and walking out with a pound so on the off chance that it was legit, he took a higher amount that would still guarantee he would be the lowest. He would have only lost this gamble had being the lowest meant something bad.
