Banker time
The banker compares himself to Alex, and instead will be making the offer based on what he'd do in these circumstances. He says he wouldn't deal on a board like this.

11 - Jaron - £50,000
21 - Pat - £35,000

Banker time
The banker says there's a difference between him and Alex, and that's that she has more courage than he has! He says it's a difficult decision, and he needs more time to think, so he hangs up.

Alex asks what Bryan thinks, and asks Bryan to whisper to her. Noel gets Bryan to write in the book what he thinks the offer will be, and Bryan says he'd deal that offer.

The banker phones back and asks if Bryan is reasonable, to which he says "yes". The banker says whatever Bryan wrote in the book is the offer!

Noel reveals what Bryan wrote, and it's...

Banker's offer:
£29,000

Alex says she's seen a show where the lady was offered £88,000, and Noel reminds us that was Corinne. Noel says he spoke to Corinne after her show, and she wasn't thinking of the £88,000, she was thinking of the Bentley she wanted. Alex says she thinks the same, and is thinking of the things she wants to do in life.

Alex says
NO DEAL

Round 6
Alex says it's always down to the individual, and people need different amounts to do different things, and she's never going to get the opportunity to be able to win big again. Noel tells her not to think about the £29,000 now.

The banker says Corinne got £88,000 on the same final 2, as she'd shown so much bravery, respect and determination.

Banker's offer:
£88,000

Alex says she literally can't believe this, and she wants to go on because she wants £250,000! Alex asks Noel what he'd do, and he says he simply can't answer that question.

Alex says
DEAL

Alex has 1p in her box 2.

Box 10 with Debs contains the £250,000

Noel says Alex wasn't destined to be #3 of the £250,000 club, she was destined to be #33 of the 1p club!

Alex talks about the difference the money will make to her future.

The Banker calls back and says that is a fair offer for the board and he isn't under estimating Gina at all. Noel says that this would clearly be a gamble, but no one wins big without gambling at some point.

Gina says
NO DEAL

Round 5
