Dan's Deal or No Deal Game Report 22/03/12

Dan has box 5 today. Daniel Adams, from York, has a ludicrously long-winded job title. He works for Leeds Council, supporting people with mental health to gain confidence through physical activity. He eats 5-6 meals per day, apparently, and spends an awful long time at the gym too. "Clearly you're fit, and I mean that in the physical exercise sense," Noel says, before flirting with Dan's significant other!

We see a photo of him shirtless with his partner on holiday, and the Banker phones up right away to jokingly say that he only bought the pic so we could all see his pecs! Also with him - a child's shoe, his first shoe apparently when he was a baby. He's been involved in two house fires, and this is one of the very few things he has left from his childhood, so that's his lucky charm for the game.

Round 1
Dan says he will keep 22 to the end as it's a significant number in his life. 18 and 12 are also to be kept late to the game.
11 - £3,000 Craig
Dan considers Eugenia with 17. He then applies Mally Logic to ask who had the £250k yesterday.
17 - 50p Eugenia
Dan jokes that Wade looks like Tom Daley on steroids! Noel wants this to be the 1p!
1 - £10,000 Wade
8 - £75,000 Bob
16 - 10p Becky

Banker time...
The Banker's first remarks: "Well, at least he kept his top on!" His partner is likened to Nicole Scherzinger, and there's an awful joke about how if she could sing sitting down she'd be Nicole Chairsinger!

More pertinently, the Banker thinks Dan is an excellent board reader, and thinks that there would be an inquiry if he had the £250k after today's introduction!!

Banker's offer:
£10,010

Dan says that a five-figure offer is always a tempter.

Dan says
NO DEAL

Round 2
4 - £750 Paula
3 - £250,000 Kev
Noel jokes at least this means the show will air tomorrow!
20 - £500 Phyl

Banker time...
Noel talks about the run of low amounts on the table. The Banker talks about how Phyl takes a newspaper into the toilet at the hotel! She can't believe anyone was watching her!!

The Banker says the £250k going makes the £75k hit in round 1 more significant.

Banker's offer:
£5,010

Tutting all round at the offer. Dan points to the mid-red block and suggests that there's "got" to be more than £5,000 at the table (9/14 chance you're wrong, Dan! )

Dan says
NO DEAL

Round 3
Dan has an odd anecdote about taking someone's teeth out accidentally with an ironing board! Dave talks up the prospect of a Power 5 on the table, and Noel compares his stance to a vulture!
13 - £15,000 Dave
6 - £20,000 Joan
12 - £5 - newbie Gemma

Banker time
Noel says that one meant a lot to Dan. The Banker thinks this might be taken...

Banker's offer:
£8,010

Dan says it's very difficult to take the first offer. He sees round 4 as pivotal. Ellie (his girlfriend) says "there's eight blues", then clarifies saying there's "eight low ones" (£1k and £5k count as disposable). Dan considers the possibilities for the next round and the edit is making look like he's given this some thought. Despite having turned down more earlier, he's calling this "the biggest gamble I've ever made".

Dan says
NO DEAL

Round 4
19 - £5,000 Niko
Dodgy camera shot meant we only saw the red at first, not the number!
2 - £100 Kelly
21 and 7 are being considered next. Noel suggests that players haven't been confident lately.
21 - £35,000 Antonia

Banker time
Noel describes the 8-box board as "frightening" given the 5-3 colour balance towards the blues. The Banker's interpretation is that Dan's ethos is "feel the fear and do it anyway".

Banker's offer:
£7,810

Noel muses over the very small drop. Dan wonders if a stick or near-stick suggests it's time to Deal. Maria makes a neutral contribution, and Gemma talks about the regret balance. Dan says he does like to gamble, though of course that's not for these stakes!

Dan says
DEAL

Round 5 (proveout)
7 - 1p Maria
Dan seems at least as annoyed that he'd have got a much better offer picking that in round 4! Dan thinks the offer might have been £13k - the Banker confirms as much.
14 - £1 Jan
9 - £10 Al

Banker time...
Noel can hardly believe that, and takes several seconds of shocked reaction before he can even approach a guilt trip...

Banker's offer would've been:
£20,010

Round 6
10 - £250 Bastian
15 - £50,000 Alan
Dan says he could deal with taking £7,810 when it could have been £20k, but not if there was a possible £40k.
18 - £100,000 Martin

Banker time with £50 and £1,000 remaining...

The Banker is now annoyed...

Banker's offer would've been:
£210

Noel opens Dan's box 5 to reveal £50

Box 22 with Nichola has £1,000

Lucy's Deal or No Deal Game Report 21/03/12

Lucy has box 21 today. Lucy puts her box on the table the wrong way around and takes a while to realise it. Noel has to have a feel of Lucy's shoulder pads. Lucy is from Battersea, London, and is originally from Jamaica. We get to see a picture of Lucy's family. Lucy has her husband in the audience for support and Noel asks if they can cheer him up a bit.

Round 1
Lucy says she wants to get rid of things she doesn't like the look of, and she wants to get rid of all the blues.
8 - £3,000 Martin
2 - 1p Paula
10 - 50p Craig
14 - £100 Nichola
15 - £5 Becky

Banker time
The Banker says what an opening, and couldn't believe how quickly Lucy raced to the pound table once her name appeared on the board.

Banker's offer:
£10,000

Lucy asks if she could have some water, and Noel asks her if she wants public water, or secret water, and Lucy asks for secret water. Lucy gets all mixed up and thinks she is waiting for the offer, and Noel wonders if the water is actually vodka. Noel says this is a great tactic from Lucy by making the Banker thinking he has gone mad and not made an offer.

Lucy says
NO DEAL

Round 2
12 - £75,000 Dan
4 - £50 Kev
9 - £50,000 Jan

Banker time

That's a good way back says Noel.
5 - £35,000 Joan

Banker time
The Banker says this is a dreadful board if the £250,000 goes.

Banker's offer:
£4,000

Lucy says
NO DEAL

Round 4
11 - £250,000 Alan
What is going on in this place at the moment asks Noel.
7 - £1 Niko
16 - £10,000 Al

Banker's offer:
£1,000

Lucy says
NO DEAL

Round 5
6 - £250 Dave
20 - £5,000 Bob
13 - £20,000 Kelly

Banker time
Oh dear me, now we have a big problem says Noel.

Banker's offer:
£751

Lucy's husband says that he always said you should take the first offer, and Noel says he should have said that about 45 mins ago.

Lucy says
NO DEAL

Round 6
3 - £15,000 Phyl
22 - £1,000 Antonia
19 - £500 Wade

Banker time with £10 and £750 remaining

The Banker laughs down the phone!

£199.99

Lucy says
NO DEAL

Noel opens Lucy's box 21 and reveals £750

Box 17 with Eugenia contains the £10

Sam is from Stroud, and talks about how he lost his job in his hometown, and moved to Stroud to be near his girlfriend and dad.

That was a critical box, and it is 4-all now says Noel. The Banker says he has been watching Damien very carefully and he is a good reader of the board, and a lot of his advice has been to no deal.

Banker's offer:
£17,500

Damien says that just one word gets him £17,000 in the bank and that is incredible.

Damien says
NO DEAL

Round 3
Noel says that Damien has a note in his file that says he lives for the moment.
3 - 10p Phyl
4 - 1p Carly
Noel wonders if Damien can find the 50p and make a perfect round
14 - £50,000 Carl

Banker time
The top 3 are still in place says Noel, and he thinks Damien still has the advantage. The Banker thinks the only chance he has to buy Damien is when the board becomes unstable, and it isn't at the moment.

Banker's offer:
£22,500

Damien says that he always said if he had the top 2 in play he would play on, and he has the top 3 in play, but......

Damien says
NO DEAL

Round 4
12 - £250 Carlos
1 - £10 Jackie
15 - 50p Niko

Banker time
That could not have been better, and look at that 8-box says Noel. The Banker says he hasn't got the board that would allow him to buy Damien, and the only chance he stands is to come up with a figure that shocks Damien out of the chair.

Banker's offer:
£40,000

You got a jolt there says Noel, and Damien says that is ridiculous. Damien goes to Keith for some advice, and he tells him that £40,000 is real money. Kirsty says that to win the big money you have to take a chance, but you also have to know when to stop. The Banker calls and says that he knows that when Damien said he would always play on with the top 2 still there he was not playing games, but Damien has another top 2 that are more important than those figures, and those are his 2 children. Damien talks about how the show has the chance to change your life. He talks about how his life has changed so much over the past year, as his fiancee split up with him and he now lives between his work and his parents house, and doesn't see his children as much as he would like, and that offer would change things so much for him.

Damien says
NO DEAL

Noel says this is a very important moment in Damien's life now, and he has had some big changes in his life recently.

Round 5
16 - £250,000 Dan
13 - £75,000 Mark
2 - £100,000 Kingsley

Banker time
What are the chances of that asks Damien, as he repeats £40,000 a few times. Noel says that Damien is only the 5th person to do that. The Banker says that was genuinely one of the funniest things he has seen.

Banker's offer:
£1,040

Damien says
NO DEAL

Round 6
19 - £1,000 Kirsty
21 - £20,000 Donna
Blimey says Damien.
11 - £1 Jan

Banker time with £100 and £5,000 remaining

The Banker says he doesn't know if he has enough energy to make an offer as he has been laughing so much

Banker's offer:
£1,313

Damien asks if he would get the SWAP. The Banker calls and says he would.

Damien says
NO DEAL

Noel asks
SWAP or NO SWAP

Damien says
SWAP

Damien now has box 6, and Noel opens it and reveals £100

Martin with box 5 contains the £5,000

Lynn's Deal or No Deal Game Report 07/03/12

Noel calls the pilgrims his family today, as freak weather has stopped all the pilgrims arriving at the studio today, so he has brought along his friends and family today to take the place of the pilgrims.

Lynn has box 19 today. Lynn is a freelance structural engineer from Portsmouth, and she talks about how she originally went to sign up for a beauty course but started chatting to the tutor on the engineering course and signed up for that course instead. Lynn talks about what her job involves. Lynn shows a picture of herself and sisters doing the Great North run, and talks about her late dad. Lynn has her partner in the audience for support, and talks about the rekindled relationship they have.

22 - 50p Martin
13 - £50 Jan
We like this says Noel.
4 - £50,000 Sam

Banker time
That was very nearly sensational says Noel. The Banker tells Noel's family to give themselves a round of applause for fighting their way into the studio today, and the Banker then asks all the DoND team who are in the audience to stand up, and about half the audience stand up.

Banker's offer:
£10,750

Lynn says she is tempted by this, but Noel tells her not to deal as the weather is horrible outside and she would be better off to stay in the warm studio for a bit longer.

Lynn says
NO DEAL

Banker's offer:
£18,000

Lynn says she thinks she might be sick.

Lynn says
NO DEAL

Round 3
6 - £10,000 Damien
Lynn is worried that Noel has jinxed the next box so gets him to spin around 3 times
1 - £15,000 Keith
15 - £20,000 Lynn

Banker time
You've made a hole in the reds now says Noel. The Banker says he finds Lynn fascinating and has been watching her since being on the wings, and she has been quite difficult to read.

Banker's offer:
£22,500

That is massive says Lynn, and Kirsty says that she has to start thinking now. Lynn gets more advice from the wings. Jan thinks the Banker is just like the Cornish as he has pitched a very clever offer, and there are lots of clever people in Cornwall. Lynn gets even more advice from the wings about the possible outcomes if she plays on...

Lynn says
DEAL

Jess' Deal or No Deal Game Report 02/03/12

Jess has Box 22 today. Jess Richards is a sports therapist from Llanelli. She tells of how she has always loved sport, after catching a ball thrown by an England footballer. She went on to represent Wales at international cricket.

She has a photo of her family, and has her dad in the audience for support; Noel mocks his voice!

Round 1
Jess has a little system. She's keeping Box 13, and Box 2. Jan first, and Noel questions her about her views for an independant Cornwall! She says it will adopt a new currency: the Truro!

Go top left, says Noel.

Banker's offer:
£16,000

Lot of money, says Jess. Her dad advises to go on.

Jess says:

Noel tells of how, while playing cricket, Jess once bowled the opposing captain out, and he was later found crying because he was bowled out by a girl!

I need a blue, says Jess.
Box 6 with Mark - £1,000

£15,000

It's all about missing the 250k for two rounds, says Noel. Jess says she has a wierd feeling about her box, and that she thinks she has the 250k. The Banker is worried, as she said that after the offer was announced! Jess's dad says the offer is good.

Noel says Jess did her best, and won the game!
