Jim's Deal or No Deal Game Report 18/11/11

Jim has box 21. Jim is from Swansea, and he says his name was originally John but he ended up as Jim. He says he's been a professional musician for decades, and is now a qualified sound therapist and teaches it too. Jim shows a pic of his late parents and gets quite emotional as he does so. He also shows a pic of his two daughters, and a pic of him with Bruce Springsteen at Glastonbury a few years ago. We also get to see a photo of Jim dressed up in fancy dress at Glastonbury! Jim's wife is in the audience today.

Banker's offer:
£10,000

Jim talks about a magazine that him and his wife run, called Labyrinth Magazine, and he says it's called that because someone built them a labyrinth that was used for meditation. He says as he stepped into the labyrinth, he felt like he wasn't getting to where he was going, but as long as you keep walking, you reach the centre. He compares all this to reaching goals and says it's been a big part of their lives recently, and the £10k is a step to £250k.

Jim says
NO DEAL

Banker time

Banker's offer:
£10,000

Jim's wife says it doesn't matter if he goes on and wins £1, and the banker rings and says they can do more than £10k. Jim's wife then says they could help others with £250k, and Noel reveals they want to set up a centre to help people who are in the final stages of their lives, using holistic therapy. Jim talks some more about the visions they have, and he talks again about the steps towards the ultimate goal.

The banker rings and says he's going to use his head now, and he suggests Jim should use his. He changes the offer.

Banker's offer:
£15,000

Noel says the banker doesn't often raise offers like that, and Jim says he really respects him. Jim says he has gut feelings about what he should do and say, and he says he's ready for the question.

Jim says
DEAL

Jim says he'd have only gone to the end if he'd had the £100k and £250k there, as he's not stupid! Noel says not that far away, there's an old man saying "I told you so".
