Martin's Deal or No Deal Game Report 11/10/10

Noel talks about Anji's game and describes it as a reminder game, and that it is not just about the question Deal or No Deal, but also about Swap or No Swap, and she made the wrong decision and swapped away £20,000 and went home with 1p. Noel says he wouldn't rule out the Banker using that tactic again to ensure more pain!

Martin has box 11 today. Martin is originally from Ireland but now lives in Birmingham, and talks about his big career change this year where he was working in boby piercing and now works in the care industry. Noel asks about Martin's piercings, and Martin says he has had about 40! Martin has his girlfriend in the audience for support today. Martin shows us some of his photos of him in his band where he is a drummer.

Martin has come up with a system while he has been on the show and he has found it is totally random, so he is going to pick everything in a random way

Marshall's Deal or No Deal Game Report 08/10/10

Marshall has box 5 today. Marshall is a retired long distance lorry driver and Noel talks to him about all the types of lorries he has driven. We get to see some of Marshall's family photos.

Noel hopes Marshall wins a truck load of money today

13 - £5 Chris

Banker time
We are slowly approaching our 5th birthday says Noel, and so far only 2 women have won the £250,000, can Marshall be the first male winner? The Banker says that Deal or No Deal is a game of luck and Marshall can take out the £250,000 in a flash and he doesn't believe that Marshall has the luck today.

Banker's offer:
£36,500

Marshall says that there is only the 10p to shift now. Darren tells Marshall to just take some time and think about this. Marshall asks Anji what his wife would say here, and she thinks his wife would say deal. The Banker calls back and apologises and thought that Marshall would show a sign of dealing at that offer, but it looks as though Marshall is determined. Marshall goes back to Darren and asks him what he would do, and Darren says that if he was playing he would consider going on. Alex tells Marshall that the biggest winners are the biggest gamblers and it is not an easy decision to make.

Marshall says
DEAL
