Jessica's Deal or No Deal Game Report 11/03/10

Noel is now going to make a prediction, and he predicts that today or tomorrow or within the next 5 games they will create the next £250,000 winner!

Jessica has box 13 today. Jessica is a student and also works part-time as a life-guard. She explains who she started studying sports exercise, but then changed to dance which she preferred, although she is having time off at the moment as she has a problem with her knee. We get to see some of Jessica's family photos. Jessica doesn't have a system and is just going with the flow today, although she will be keeping box 9 to the end.

Round 1
3 - 10p Huddy
20 - £250 Neide
7 - 50p Roopa
I like this says Noel
16 - £35,000 Stacie
5 - £750 Nicola

Banker time
Well that is a good start says Noel. The banker asks how dare make such a prediction that the £250,000 will be won in the next 5 games! The Banker says never underestimate anyone going for a Mickey Mouse degree!

Banker's offer:
£9,250

Jessica says
NO DEAL

Round 2

22 - £10 Brad
4 - £1 Newbie Raff

Oh dear what a round says Noel. The Banker says the milky bars are on him

Banker's offer:
£1,000

Dan tells Jessica to stay positive.

Jessica says
NO DEAL

Round 4
11 - £50 Chris
21 - £5,000 May
You need the 1p in this next box says Noel, but Jessica says she has a feeling she has the 1p in her box 13 as it is an unlucky number! Noel thinks she has made a silly mistake saying that, and he says he has had a look inside box 13 and it is not the 1p!! He then says he hasn't really!
19 - £500 Monique

Banker time
The Banker says that there is 1p in box 13 and it is game over.

Banker's offer:
SWAP

Jessica turns to her mum and she says that she doesn't think the 1p is in box 13. Jessica says she wants to prove the Banker and herself wrong.

Jessica says
NO SWAP

Round 5
12 - £5 Caine
1 - £20,000 John
This is a massive box now says Noel
14 - 1p Chloe

Banker time
This is now feeling 100% better says Noel. The Banker congratulates Jessica for having the nerve to keep her box.

Banker's offer:
£13,000

Jessica's mum says she is only gettting that offer because the £100,000 is on the board and if that goes in the next round she won't see that offer again.

The Banker calls back and says if Jessica plays on, she can open 1 box and then get an offer, but he won't give her an offer after every box. Jessica says that he is very clever. The Banker calls back and says that if Jessica plays on for 1 box and takes out the £100,000 the offer will be £3,000, but if she takes out the £100 the offer will be over £20,000.

Jessica gets lots of advice from the wings. Just as Jessica is going to answer Noel the Banker calls back and says he knows what Jessica is going to say, and she is going to No Deal, and if he was going to sway her he would say the next offer could be £26,500. Jessica turns to her parents and says that she just wants to make life better for them all.

Jessica says
DEAL

Round 6 - Proveout round
10 - £3,000 Andy

The Banker calls.

Jessica says she doesn't regret her deal as she has nothing and that amount means so much to her.

Mark's Deal or No Deal Game Report 10/03/10

Noel calls this a fascinating time as the Banker has been using unusual tactics with the Banker, but unfortunately the contestants haven't been taking advantage of these, although yesterday Michael did manage to win his twist where he avoided going home with nothing and actually went home with £500. Noel promises something unusual will happen today!

Mark has box 2 today. Mark is a banking team manager. Noel says Mark has become him in the past, and Mark explains they played a game of Deal or No Deal as part of a team building exercise. Mark has a horseshoe with him, and explains a little about how he was given the horseshoe by his wife. We get to see a picture of Mark's wife and also another of Mark and his brother with his late mum.

Noel asks Mark why he is here, and Mark says he is here to play the game and hopefully win a life-changing sum of money. Mark has his friend in the audience for support today.

Round 1
14 - £3,000 May
9 - £1,000 Nicola
This is shaping up nicely says Noel
13 - £500 Tony
5 - £50,000 Kath
7 - £100 Huddy

Banker time
Noel wonders what the Banker will make of Mark. The Banker says that Noel's research was shoddy at the start of the show when he said Michael would have been the 3rd person to leave with nothing, but he would have actually have been the 4th person! The Banker tells Noel to get his researchers out and apologise for their mistake They come out and apologise and as they leave Noel shouts at them to not get it wrong again!!

Banker's offer:
£8,250

Mark says
NO DEAL

Round 2
4 - £20,000 John
16 - £35,000 Chloe
12 - £10 Dan

Banker time
Noel says that Mark has still not hit the Banker's power 5 and that is a problem. The Banker asks if Noel has any toilet duck on him at the moment! He then tells everyone to look to the right as his researchers are cleaning the toilets!

Banker's offer:
£10,000

Mark turns to his friend for advice.

Mark says
NO DEAL

Round 3
11 - £5,000 Newbie Monique
This one has got to be top right says Noel
19 - 1p Neide
3 - £250 Jessica

Banker time
The Banker says that it is a very unusual board Mark has created.

Banker's offer:
£18,000

That is a very good offer and he is clever says Mark. He then goes to Huddy who says he would love to be in Mark's position himself, but there is another round in the game. Andrew says it is a no deal, even though there is a little risk in playing on. Mark says the £18,000 is a lot of money and he could do a lot with it, but Noel says it won't get him his dream of a smoothie bar. Mark gets more advice and struggles with the decision and then the Banker phones back and says he is impressed by the way that Mark is playing the game and analysing the board. Mark says he is trying to think what his mum would be saying at this point. Mark's friend says that if one of the big ones go in the next round it will still not be a major problem.

Mark says
DEAL

Noel and Huddy looked stunned at that decision, and Noel says he is going for a lie down before we continue. He says we haven't had this position for quite a while and Mark is either very astute or incredibly dumb!

Round 4 - Proveout round
18 - 50p Shahid
It would have been almost the perfect start says Noel
10 - £1 Caine
Look at that says Noel!
15 - £75,000 Andy

Banker time
That won't be enough says Noel. The Banker says he salutes Mark's decision

Banker's offer would've been:
£24,000

Round 5 - Proveout round
1 - £5 Stacie
That would have been a lovely one says Noel
20 - £50 Chris
8 - £15,000 Sonia

Banker time
You have £10,000 and the players dream at 5-box says Noel. The Banker says that this really is a disaster for Mark. Noel says Mark won't like this.

Banker's offer would've been:
£46,000

Round 6 - Proveout round
22 - £250,000 Andrew
17 - £100,000 Roopa
6 - 10p Barbara

Banker time with £750 and £10,000 remaining

Banker's offer would've been:
£4,500

Noel opens box 2 and reveals £750

Box 21 with Brad contains the £10,000

Mark says he never wanted to lose sight of what the £18,000 could do for him and that money will really do a lot for him.

Michael has box 5. Michael is a welder from Birmingham. He says he's called the Deck Chair as he's so laid back! We get to see a pic of him and his wife with their children. Michael also shows a pic of his dad and brother when they were in Jamaica. He gets quite emotional as he talks about how they came to England, and then he tells the story of how he proposed to his wife.

Round 1
Michael's leaving box 3 to the end. Newbie Kath first, and she explains that she's an ex-nun!

Michael explains he's wearing his lucky boxers today and he has over 200 pairs.

Michael says

Round 4
17 - John - £100
21 - Andrew - £750

Banker time
Noel says we've seen worse boards and this isn't over yet. The banker says it's getting hotter in his office! He talks about the posh underpants he's wearing and he says that's all he's wearing.

Banker's offer:
£450

Michael says
NO DEAL

Round 5
Michael now does a quickie round...
1 - Nicola - £1,000
18 - Sonia - £10
2 - Jessica - £10,000

Banker time
The banker says if the luck is missing there's not a lot that can be done.

Banker's offer:
£950

Huddy says he shouldn't chase the £20,000 but if he finds 3 blues now, the offer should at least cover the holiday to Egypt.

Michael says
NO DEAL

Round 6
Michael confirms he's leaving box 3 to the end. The banker phones back and promises that if he has an all-blue round, the offer will be at least £5,500.
12 - Chloe - £250
10 - Neide - £20,000
11 - Roopa - £5
Noel says the dream's over.

Banker time with 50p and £50 remaining

The banker says he wants a couple of minutes to think about the offer so he can enjoy this moment.

Banker's offer:
£19.99

Michael gets a bit emotional so his friend Glen comes down from the audience to support him.

Michael says
NO DEAL

Noel says this has been relentlessly unlucky and there was nothing for Michael. The banker phones back and says he wants one final piece of fun with him. The banker is offering a gamble. The gamble is: if the box contains £50, he'll increase the winnings to £500 but if it's 50p, Michael will go home with nothing.

Banker's offer:
BANKER'S SPECIAL GAMBLE

Michael says
DEAL

The banker phones back...

Banker's offer:
SWAP

Michael says
SWAP

Noel swaps Michael's box 5 for Huddy's box 3... If this is £50, Michael's winnings will become £500. If this is 50p, Michael will win NOTHING!!!

Box 3 contains £50

Michael wins £500

Box 5 - now with Huddy - contains the 50p and completes the game.

Noel says there's a consolation in that Michael only ever brought 50p to the table and has got £500 out of it.

The Banker calls back and asks to speak to Kristi and says it is not £4,000 or £6,000. Kristi wonders if he is being evil and it is one of those!

Noel says he has some secrets about the west wing, and he tells us how many of them have motoring-related themes and dreams.

Jenny has box 9. Jenny shows us a pic of when she got married to her late husband, and she says she's kept busy and done lots of things since he died. We also get to see a pic of her other relatives. She has a soft-toy cat with her which has "PRESS ME" on it! Noel presses it and it lets out a hysterical MEOW. She explains she got the toy when she was on holiday to Florida, and she'd like to get some money to go back there.

Round 1
Jenny's using a combination of methods to pick her boxes.
10 - Michael - £100
12 - John - £3,000
18 - Roopa - £10
Tony now and Jenny says they ignore him when he goes on and on, but he's a good friend.
16 - Tony - £250
21 - Neide - £15,000

Banker time
The banker says he's been looking forward to this as Jenny talks for Britain back at the hotel, and he can't underestimate her!

Banker's offer:
£9,500

Jenny says she's tempted to deal just to be remembered!

Jenny says
NO DEAL

Round 2
Noel gets Andrew to say something nasty because people often have big numbers when they're nice! Andrew tells her to go back to her natural hair colour!
6 - Andrew - £35,000
3 - Shahid - £100,000
17 - Dan - 1p

Banker time
Dan runs on to the walk of wealth to give Jenny the 1p kiss. The banker says he's appalled that Jenny suffered such abuse from a man of the cloth! He says he can tell Jenny's hair is natural, and Andrew asks if the banker uses a white stick!!

Banker's offer:
£2,000

Jenny says
NO DEAL

Round 3
8 - Andy - £50,000
20 - Mark - £500

Jenny says
NO DEAL

15 - Caine - £10,000
13 - Barbara - £1

Banker time
Noel says unfortunately, the banker was half-right. The banker says he's pleased with that. He says people often play to the end when they have a tough game, and those are the people who leave with blues...

Banker's offer:
£2,500

Jenny says that's not bad, considering the game. She asks the others what they'd do, and most of them would no deal. Neide says it's good money but Jenny could still win £20k. Huddy says she needs to assess the game, and the final offer won't be much more than the current offer if she's left with a blue vs £20k.

Jenny says
DEAL

Round 6 (proveout)
14 - Chloe - £5
7 - May - 50p
11 - Jessica - £20,000

Banker time with 10p and £1,000 remaining

The banker says congratulations, as sometimes it takes courage to accept a low offer when you've previously had higher offers.

Banker's offer would've been:
£250

Jenny has 10p in her box 9.

Box 22 with Kristi contains the £1,000

Noel says Jenny is saleswoman of the year. Jenny says she'd liked to have more of course, but she's enjoyed it all and she's pleased to get £2,500 out of that game.
