Rio's Deal or No Deal Game Report 16/11/09

Noel talks about back-up and how it is important to retain a back-up on the board to help with risk-taking...

Rio has box 9 today. Noel has his high heels on his boots for Rio's game today Rio tells us a little about his wife and 2 children, his wife is in the audience for support today and Noel asks her about the moment when Rio proposed. His wife says they were in a restaurant and she was eating something really hot which was burning her mouth just as he went on one-knee to propose! She asked him to get up as she could hardly talk, but he said he couldn't as he had cramp!!
