Barbara's Deal or No Deal Game Report 21/03/10

Noel says someone said to him yesterday that the players know when they're going to be picked and Noel says they don't know! He goes along the west wing and sees how people would react if their names were called.

Barbara has box 20. Andy and John help Barbara to the pound table. Barbara is a reflexologist from Yorkshire. She explains that she had 2 strokes and was only just about able to call 999 before collapsing, and it badly affected her speech and ability to move. She's lost a lot of feeling in her body but is better than she was. Noel says Barbara won the Adult Courage Award from the Stroke Association for the progress in her recovery. We get to see a pic of her dog! Barbara's friend Margaret is in the audience today.

Banker time
Andy gives Barbara a big 1p kiss. The banker says Barbara has her eyes on Andy, but he has his eyes on a lovely woman - the newbie Adam! He says 'she' looks gorgeous in 'her' low-cut top. Noel changes his name badge from 'ADAM' to 'MADAM'. The banker appreciates Barbara's love for her dog...

Banker's offer:
SWAP

Barbara says this is difficult now as she believes in destiny.

Barbara says
NO SWAP

Round 2
Barbara explains that during her recovery, she saw a bright light in the room and she was told it was the Holy Spirit. She says she believes there's a source up there helping us all, and she's looking for numbers which are her destiny. Noel has banter with Kath about her trips to Ann Summers with Barbara. Barbara says they were going to buy a whip for the banker but they weren't sure, and the banker phones up and says he'd have loved that.

16 - Ciara - £500

Barbara says
NO DEAL

Banker time
The banker concedes that was a good round for Barbara, but he says she should definitely deal now because of her commitment to the hotel bar.

Banker's offer:
£7,500

The banker says that's good as it's 10% of the top value remaining. Barbara asks Dan and John for advice, and they talk about the money left on the board. She talks about what the money means to her, then she talks about her destiny box.

Barbara says
NO DEAL

£5,000

Barbara says she came here with nothing and she'd be happy to leave with £5k. But Noel points out that she just no dealt £7,500! Tom talks about things Barbara said while she was in the bar, so Noel changes her name badge so it reads "BAR". She calls her friend down from the audience and talks about how much the money means.

Barbara says
