Carol's Deal or No Deal Game Report 25/02/11

Carol has box 8.

Carol is from Lincolnshire and works in the fish department of a supermarket. Noel says he hates the smell of fish, and Carol says it's a problem when she travels home as she stinks! Carol shows a photo of her with her husband whilst on holiday, and another pic of her kissing a camel! She also shows a photo of her hugging a cardboard cut-out of Noel. She has an angel with her and talks about a spiritualist church she goes to.

Round 1
Carol says if a woman opens the 1p, then Noel will kiss her, but if it's a man then Carol will kiss him. She then asks Dom whether he wants to be a man or a woman, and he says he wants to be a lady today.

Banker time
The banker said that last blue box added about £10,000 to this offer.

Banker's offer:
£26,000

Noel reminds Carol not to mentally spend the money at this stage. Dom says that's a great offer, but Carol still has 3 massive sums on the board. Nick says this is the kind of board he dreams of, and he'd play to the end. He says the way she says "guvna" sits well with her, and she's got the governor offer. Kim says Carol would still be lovely and bubbly even if she went with £5, and Barbara says it depends if she's happy with £26,000.

Carol says
DEAL

10 - Frank - £10,000
