Mathew's Deal or No Deal Game Report 23/02/12

Mathew has box 18 today. Mathew is a self-employed tree surgeon from Essex, and was previously a window cleaner. Noel says he must be one of the few people who was happy to have an accident, as he fell off a ladder and then while be treated the doctor found a tumor, which is now being treated. Mathew has his wife in the audience for support and he tells the story of how he met her. We get to see a photo of their 2 children.

Round 1
21 - £50 Lynn
1 - £1,000 Sidney
19 - £500 Kath
Newbie Mark next, and Noel says he is not quite sure why Mark is here as he has lots of castles, and Mark says he has about 14 now crammed in his shed. He hires out bouncy castles
17 - £3,000 Newbie Mark
3 - £100 Donna

Banker time
That is a very good opening round says Noel, and he likes that. The Banker talks about evil chickens, and says he loves Keith as he thinks he is a very young man wearing old mans makeup! The Banker thinks he can buy Mathew, but it won't be cheap.

Banker's offer:
£11,500

Mathew says
NO DEAL

Noel runs through some of Mathew's previous jobs of flower seller, balloon seller, and also cleaning window in sky scrapers.

Round 2
15 - £100,000 Jess
5 - 50p Imani
11 - £75,000 Kirsty

Banker time
What a round says the Banker. He talks about the very commited pilgrims, and mentions one called Steve who is supposed to be working and has pulled a sickie! Noel finds out that Steve works for the department of health in London, and says that is very ironic with him pulling a sickie.

Banker's offer:
£11,500

Mathew says
NO DEAL

Round 3
9 - £5 James
2 - £10 Chris
7 - £250 Carlos

Banker time
This is great says Noel. The Banker has noted the way Mathew has been looking at the board and weighing it up, and thinks he will only be able to buy the box by being generous.

Banker's offer:
£20,000

That is very generous says Mathew. Mathew talks to Dave about the odds of hitting boxes. Mathew then talks to his wife about the offer, and she says it is a great offer, but also talks about the journey that he is on. Mathew talks about how far he wants to push the game.

Mathew says
NO DEAL

Round 4
12 - £20,000 Zoe
20 - £5,000 Keith
14 - 10p Kingsley

Banker time
The Banker says he told us this would be tricky, and respects that Mathew sees his game as a journey, but this is a journey with stops, and Mathew is able to decide when it ends.

Banker's offer:
£30,000

Mathew gets advice from the wings, he then apologises to his wife for putting her through this. Mathew talks about this being a bit of a catch 22 situation, as he will never get this chance again to sit in the chair, and talks about a niggle he has in the back of his head.

Mathew says
DEAL

6 - £750 Carl
10 - £1 Jackie
