Rob's Game Report

It doesn't look like we are going to break through the £4million mark this week unless we have a couple of good games today and tomorrow, in fact we could be heading for the worst week ever for contestant's total winnings for a week!! Noel says there is a very strange atmosphere in the studio and almost fear amongst the contestants due to Sarah's game yesterday (and probably most of the games this week as well)

Rob looks quite shocked about being picked today (he has only been on the wings for 10 shows which would explain this reaction - he probably expected to be there for a while longer), he has box 16.

Noel asks if he is lucky, he says yes and no - he is no good at picking numbers....

Rob whips up the audience into a frenzy.....

Round 1
3 - £20,000
15 - £50
9 - £5,000
Rob struggles to pick his numbers as he says it looks different this side of the wings - Noel tells him to move his chair.
10 - £1,000
Rob is still indecisive about his box numbers - he was right about his trouble picking numbers and labours over his box selection again.
12 - £10

We finally get to the end of round 1 and it's banker time....
The banker says he has nothing on file for Rob, although he thinks that Rob is a secret super hero - Rob says he can see through boxes. The banker makes an opening offer of £4,000. Rob says NO DEAL

Round 2
Noel tells Rob to continue at his own pace and then goes off-stage to get a chair and his newspaper, Rob asks if he is in charge.... The banker calls back and Rob asks should he get the phone, Noel says that "you said you are in charge so get it". The banker tells Rob to move it on as they are all getting really old!!!

17 - £750
6 - £15,000 mixed reaction to that box
7 - £250 huge applause and cheers - Rob goes over to shake Ashley's hand

The banker calls and has a little dig at Rob about the amount of time he is taking to choose his boxes by saying that the boxes are shouting at Rob to get a move on, he then offers £17,000 which receives a great cheer and applause from the audience. Rob says NO DEAL.

Round 3
14 - £100,000 'ooohhs' all round
8 - £5 cheers and applause
18 - £10,000 mixed reaction for that one

Noel says that it is difficult to read Rob's face, Rob then goes onto to say that he is looking to win between up to £20,000 to purchase a 19th century Georgian music box. The banker is happy that the £100,000 has gone in the last round, and he is also using smelling salts and espresso to keep him awake during Rob's slow gameplay. The banker makes an initial offer of 10p!! But then adds the £20,000 t tempt Rob to deal with the amount he would need for his musical box - the 10p was for if it was coin-operated! Noel says that Rob should have inflated the cost of the musical box and the banker would have offered more..... Rob says NO DEAL.

Round 4
Rob asks Michaela if she could have the £250,000 again? (based on her recent run of £250,000 4 games in a row!) He goes to Michaela who has...
5 - £35,000 mixed reaction again....
Rob goes to Maddie who he dismissed earlier in the game
2 - £250,000 should have gone with his initial gut reaction earlier....
20 - £50,000
After that horrible round of destroying the red side of the board the banker offers £3,500. Rob says he is remaining positive and thinks for a long time over the question and then says DEAL. Rob says that he has seen the game fall apart too many times to risk going on.

Round 5 Proveout round
4 - £75,000 BIG cheers and applause.....
Rob does the perfect deal as Noel points out
21 - 1p
11 - £1

With the last largest red removed in the last round the banker would have offered £350, Rob says he would have said NO DEAL

Round 6 Proveout round
22 - £100
1 - 10p
13 - 50p

With £500 and £3,000 left the banker would have offered £1,500 - Rob says he would have said DEAL.

Noel opens Rob's box 16 to reveal £3,000 which gives him a small profit of £500 with the earlier deal he made. Box 19 has the £500.

So we have yet another game for the week that has a horrible turnaround mid-game to destroy a contestant's chance of winning big. Rob managed to bail out early after the disaster and make a small profit over his box amount, but its yet another game this week that has gone badly against the contestant. Will tomorrow's contestant buck the trend of the week?
