Stuart's Deal or No Deal Game Report

Noel welcomes us to dream factory, and talks about all the strange coincidences that occur in it....

It’s Stuart’s turn to take the walk of wealth today, and he does so with box 2. Stuart has a gnome on top of his box!!! The gnome mysteriously appeared on his desk one day and he doesn't know where he came from! So he hopes he will bring him some luck. Stuart is looking for a new career direction, or new business to set up, so is hoping that Deal or No Deal can help with this. He has his mum and dad in the audience for support today.

Round 1
20 - £100
21 - £750
3 - £50
15 - £10,000
4 - £10

The banker calls very quickly!! He says he doesn't like people who go all the way to the end, and he says he is quite impressed with Stuart for saying he is hoping the show can help with a career change. He then offers £11,000…Stuart says NO DEAL

Round 2
22 - £1
5 - £5
9 - 10p

I like your expression says Noel to Stuart... The banker says that this is his nightmare. This next offer is very interesting says Noel... And there seems to be a misunderstanding as to whether Stuart will go all the way or not... The Banker offers £21,000… Stuart says he takes this game very seriously, and he has changed the way he would play it since he has stood on the wings... Stuart says NO DEAL

Round 3
10 - £500
This is quite amazing says Noel...
11 - £1,000
Noel really builds up the tension on this box...

He also talks about the fact that Stuart is likely to really damage that block of reds if he plays on now... He then offers £31,000… Stuart goes to his mum, and she replies that she would play on... Stuart says NO DEAL

17 - £5,000
16 - 50p Newbie Little Rich

Noel asks Stuart what he's thinking now, and Stuart replies that he is feeling a little numb at the moment... Noel replies that it's still a strong position at the moment... The banker says there is part of him that would to make an offer that would force Stuart to go on and fail, but there is another part of him that has to take him seriously... He offers £20,000… Stuart's dad gives him some advice... Stuart's mum says she would deal... Stuart says DEAL

Round 6 - Proveout round

It’s time for the Banker with £250 and £20,000 remaining… This is a fascinating game says Noel, at the worst it's a draw... The banker says if there is £20,000 in the box he will raise a glass to Stuart, however if there is £250 in his box he will rip the gnome's head off!!! He would have offered £6000…

It’s Stephen’s turn to take the walk of wealth today, and he does so with box 3. Stephen speaks French, German, Spanish, and Italian... Noel says that the banker won't have much on him as he hasn't been there for long, and he will also hate him for being so educated!!!!

Robin gives Stephen some advice, and says it's an excellent offer... Stephen asks if they can wheel out the £25,000 so he can feel it a bit!
