Rina's Deal or No Deal Game Report 17/01/11

Noel says last week was characterised by the banker being very interested in phobias, and he runs through the phobias of the current contestants, which include a phobia of wings and a phobia of toilets!

Rina has box 4. Rina is a student from Manchester, and is aiming to teach history at secondary school. Noel says Rina is very impulsive, and she talks about how she got a tattoo and an ear piercing when she was 16! Rina has a Latin tattoo on her back, which means "seize the day and place more trust in tomorrow".

We get to see a small picture of Rina with her mum and her younger brother. Rina introduces us to her boyfriend who's in the audience, and she says they met at a New Year's Eve party about 5 years ago. Noel winds him up about coming down to the Pound Table and proposing to Rina.

Round 1
Rina says she doesn't have a system, but she had a dream about chasing a tortoise around a garden! She says the tortoise had a betting slip on it with a number, and she thinks it was number 8. Tony with box 8 now, and Noel has some banter with him about the tortoise he's just bought! Rina decides to leave box 8 for now.

Irene now, and she says she's been staying up until 9:30 recently.

13 - Georgina - 10p

Banker time
The banker says he's excited, as he's been Twittering and has been getting a lot of messages and has been writing them in his underwear! He then interrogates Rina about the underwear she's wearing, and he talks about the tortoise dream she had, and wonders how she missed the number on its back!

DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING worth £8,500

Rina says they have no plans to get married soon!

Rina says

Round 2

Noel officially dedicates this show to Colin!

Banker time

Banker's offer:
£6,500

Rina's boyfriend says it's a lot of money but Rina has only one chance to be on the show, and there's still a lot of money on the board. He says he'd be tempted to go on but he's normally wrong! Rina asks for advice from the others, and Irene tells her to think very carefully. The banker phones up and talks to Rina, and she says he reminded her of David's game, when he didn't have a chance to deal, and she's got a chance now.

Rina says
DEAL

Noel says he thinks Dave's game yesterday had an influence on Rina

6 - Derrick - £5,000
