Round 8: 5, 10, 8, 4, 1, 5. Target:229

Richard ATE the 25!!!!!!!!

Just thought I'd explain for the record that what actually happened was: the contestant chose 1 big and 6 small, so Carol literally threw one of the cards away when she realised she had seven. Unfortunately for the contestants, she threw away the 1 big (the 25), rather than one of the small numbers!
