Karen's Deal or No Deal Game Report

Noel talks about the 2 great opening days we have had so far to start season 3. He then wanders over to the vain wing, where he introduces Brenda with her Deal or No Deal nails, and Brian who wants cosmetic surgery!!

It’s Karen’s turn to take the walk of wealth today, and she does so with box 10 today. There is a shocked reaction to Karen being chosen, and she tells Noel that she wanted to stay longer on the wings with the great people she has met. Noel asks Karen about her fascination with wrestling. She tells Noel how she loves it and would love to wrestle, and we learn that Stevie has been a wrestler, and Karen has actually seen him wrestle... Karen has her friend Chrissie in the audience for support today...

Round 1
Karen doesn't know where to start, so Noel suggests she asks Brian as he can predict high values in his box!! Today he says his box is warm, so Karen avoids him....

6 - £15,000
19 - £50
22 - £5,000 Jenny is back today from her absence due to illness
8 - £10,000

Noel asks Karen if she thinks the banker likes wrestling, and she replies probably not... Noel says actually he probably prefers sumo wrestling with lots of baby oil!! The banker says that he is ready for a smackdown now! And goes on to say that he knows the wrestling name that Karen would go under, it would be flame, as she is too hot to handle… Banker offers £3,316… Karen says the offer is a reference to wrestling.... Karen says NO DEAL

Round 2
1 - £750
14 - £35,000

It's time to find out how much is up for grabs in today's viewer's competition... It's box 2 with £10,000 today...

Noel wants a massive P round now... All the p values
3 - 10p
5 - £20,000

Noel talks about the 4 biggest values still in play... The banker is worried now, as he has seen a smile return to Karen's face and she is growing into the game.... He offers
£20,000
… Noel turns to Karen's friend, and she tells Karen she is a gambler so carry on... Karen tells Noel that her brother said if you ever get an offer of £20,000 then take it, as it will clear a lot of her debts... Karen goes for a sweep of the wings and nearly everyone says NO DEAL... Ron says he would DEAL… Karen asks Noel what he would do? He tells her he can't tell her, although he knows exactly what he would do... Karen says NO DEAL

Round 4

2 - £100 Bigger cheers
7 - 1p The studio goes wild

Karen gets a great all blue round, and the Deal or No Deal chance of a lifetime is so close now says Noel... Karen says she is nervous but excited now... Noel says it probably wasn't a great idea for Karen to mention her brother and the £20,000 exit fee, as the banker is now looking for lowest possible exit fee... The Banker offers £33,316…

Noel tells Karen this is probably one of the strongest boards they have had, and Karen says if she was at home she would be shouting DEAL at the screen, but now she is sat there she is tempted to go for it... Karen says DEAL

Congratulations says Noel, or possibly not....

Round 5 - Provout round

Noel thanks Rossano for a brilliant start to season 3, and says we are all revved up now for a great season. He then goes over and chats with Brian with his new £250,000 psychic powers, after predicting when he would have it in his box correctly so many times.

It’s Debbie’s turn to take the walk of wealth today, and she does so with box 14 today.

Round 4
19 - £3,000
17 - £10,000
Debbie wonders who has the 1p... She then turns to someone in the audience (Jo) and asks them what box they would chose next! Noel then goes into the audience and drags them up to the pound table!! He then asks them what they would do, and they tell Noel they would choose box 3... Debbie agrees with this decision…

3 - £75,000 ARRGGGGHHH goes Noel

The banker says he likes Jo, and Noel wonders if Jo is employed by the banker!!!! Noel goes on to say it's a game of large extremes now... The Banker offers £18,000

9 - £250
Noel wonders if this would have been an all blue round...

It would have been an almost perfect round says Noel, and he asks the banker not to gloat... The Banker would have offered £36,000…

Round 6 - Proveout round
4 - £20,000
We need that £250,000 says Noel
15 - £250,000
2 - £1

It’s time for the Banker with 1p and £500 remaining, and he tells Noel that he is not happy now! He would have offered £180… Debbie says she would have played on there...

Noel opens Debbie’s box 14 and reveals 1p
Box 20 contains the £500

Another victory for the contestants over the banker, although not the perfect game it provides a nice win.

Rossano's Deal or No Deal Game Report

Deal or No Deal returns for the eagerly awaited third season. I hope everyone has had a great break for the summer.

The show opens with a new opening title sequence that features some of the past contestants. As Noel welcomes us to a new season he shows us around the new set, which has different lighting and changes to the Deal or No Deal signs dotted around the studio. He also promises us loads of new surprises for the third season, and there is a new format to the viewer’s competition. Before we get under way, Noel introduces the newbie Ron.

It’s Rossano’s turn to take the walk of wealth today and get the new season under way. He has box 16 today, and tells us his name comes from the film South Pacific, that his mother saw while having him. Rossano runs his own removals business, and hopes to win enough to get a bigger van, or the jackpot so he can retire and buy a bigger van for his van to take over the business!! He has a lucky number 5, and he tells a little story of how he chose a horse whose number was 5 and it came in 5th!!!

21 - £75,000

There is also new music as well now whilst waiting for the banker to call. Noel asks the banker if he had a good break, and he replies that he closed 6 charity shops!!! And stole sweets from children, so it was a great break for him!! The banker believes that box 16 has £5, and makes an opening offer of £5.50. Rossano says NO DEAL

Round 2
19 - 1p
18 - £1
Rossano is going to avoid 15, which would be next in his system as it's his birthday, so is going with box 7 instead...

Noel calls a commercial break and this is where the format for the viewer’s competition changes. The box and amount to be won is chosen and announced now rather than at the end of the show. You then have until 11pm this evening to enter the competition, either via the charged phoneline, or the FREE online web entry. Today’s amount is £10,000, and the winner will be announced tomorrow...

Back to the game, and it’s Rossano’s last box before the banker offer…

7 - £750
An all blue round…

This is looking good now says Noel, and the banker could be looking at financing a whole haulage company rather than just a van! The Banker offers £15,050… Rossano goes to Vikki, who tells him the board is fantastic at the moment... Rossano says NO DEAL

Round 3
Noel stands next to Brian, and he thinks his is a hot one...

The banker adores Brian, he says Brian reminds him of the Greek legend Cassandra, who could predict the future but was never believed, and he then offers £5,050… Norman gives us a little trumpet fanfare.... Rossano says NO DEAL

Round 4
5 - £100
10 - £10,000
6 - £100,000

Another sting in the tail round says Noel... The banker is now convinced that the £5 is in Rossano's box, and offers £5,050.50… Stevie tells Rossano that is not worth looking at, and Rossano says NO DEAL

Round 5
8 - £50,000
14 - £500
12 - £15,000

Rossano calls out box 2 next, but Noel pulls him up... The banker talks about the £5 still being in the game, and he wants Noel to pass on that he now has psychic powers this season!!!! He then offers £5,050.55… Alan tells Rossano that he thinks the banker is trying mind games with him, and he should give him a proper spanking!!! Rossano says NO DEAL

Round 6
2 - £250
11 - £5 Newbie Ron, and big cheers for the £5
20 - £20,000

It’s time for the Banker with £1,000 and £35,000 remaining… The banker says this is a difficult offer to make, and decides to pitch it at £10,050… Vikki says it's a fair offer for the board... Rossano talks about £1,000 being a nice holiday, and Norman says that £10,000 would be an extra special holiday... Rossano says NO DEAL

The banker calls back and offers Rossano the chance to SWAP...
Box 15 is Rossano's birthday box, but he says NO SWAP

Noel opens Rossano’s box 16 and reveals £35,000
Box 15 contains the £1,000

A fantastic game to kick off the new season, and a great victory over the banker.
