Dave's Deal or No Deal Game Report 16/01/11

Noel says it was a sensational week last week with contrasting games. He goes along the wings and tells us a little about the contestants.

Dave has box 17 today. Dave is a geography teacher from Glasgow. Dave tells us how he really enjoyed geography as he had an amazing georaphy teacher at school. Dave has an unusual object with him and gets everyone to guess what it is, and someone gets it right that it is a wooden pillow, and he tells us about the tribes that use it. Dave then gives us a demonstration of the pillow by lying on the floor. Dave shows us a picture of a tribe he lived with for 2 years while teaching, and then we see some of his family pics. Dave has his girlfriend in the studio for support today.

Round 1
21 - 10p Derrick
6 - £15,000 IJ
7 - £250 Georgina
Noel asks Dave if he has mousse or gel in his hair today, and it is gel with a little bit of hairspray. Newbie dolly next and she tells us a bit about her work, but Noel says she hasn't told us her most interesting thing which is that she is a boxer.
20 - £75,000 Newbie Dolly
2 - £50,000 Beryl

Banker time
What an amazing run Beryl is having says Noel, as she has never had a blue so far. The Banker says that Noel needs to apologise to Beryl as he called her Betty in the intro! The Banker says that Dave is a fascinating guy, and he has provided 3 genuine surprises, his interest in his work, the emotion when his name was called, and also his hot girlfriend!

Noel says that he could ruin Dave's good reputation by revealing he is a fully qualified football referee.

Banker's offer:
£10,000

That is extraordinary when you have taken 2 of the power 5 out says Noel.

Dave says
NO DEAL

Round 2
Noel starts to tell a story about Dave when he was a football referee where he booked one of the kids playing, and Dave says he had to book him as tackles were flying in, and after the game the kids parents came up to him and started to have a go and then punched him!! The Banker calls back and says that it wasn't even his son when he did that!
5 - £5 Dale
19 - £50 Andy
16 - £10,000 Zowie

Banker time
It's still 3 all in the power 5 stakes says Noel. The Banker says that round hasn't really changed anything.

Banker's offer:
£11,500

Dave turns to his girlfriend who says it is a very good offer, but it is also very early in the game.

Dave says
NO DEAL

Round 3
Tomas next and he says he envys the kids that Dave teaches, as when he was at school he was told the world was a cube!
18 - £250,000 Tomas
You need top left now says Noel
8 - 50p Claire
That was exactly what you wanted says Noel. Noel talks about some of Dave's dreams, he would like to give his mum and dad a holiday, put a deposit on a house, and also start putting money aside for a self-sustaining school in africa.
12 - £100,000 Irene

Banker time
That was just horrible and very bad news says Noel. The Banker says that was just about as bad as it gets.

Banker's offer:
£1,500

Dave says that £35,000 or £20,000 can do a lot in Ethiopia, and also help out his mum and dad.

Dave says
NO DEAL

Round 4
14 - £10 Rina
Dave says if this next one is a blue he would like a huge cheer from everyone.
4 - £35,000 Tony
There is a huge groan instead of the cheer.
13 - £5,000 Sophie

Banker time
That is ugly says Noel, but the Banker says it is beautiful and the board is a work of art.

Banker's offer:
£800

Dave turns to his girlfriend and asks if she is thinking the same as him, and that he has to play to the end now to win the £20,000, she agrees.

Dave says
NO DEAL

Round 5
22 - 1p Karl
That's made us feel better says Noel
1 - £1 Jenna
It's the perfect round so far says Noel
10 - £20,000 Tracey

Banker time
Noel says he is really sorry, and this game has no respect for some people, and being so unpredicatable is what makes it so popular with everyone. Dave says he is absolutely gutted that the £20,000 went. Noel wonders why the Banker is taking so long to call.

Banker's offer:
£500

Dave says
NO DEAL

Round 6
9 - £3,000 Adam
Oh no, this is a real heart-breaker says Noel
15 - £750 Sherilyn
11 - £1,000 Ron

Banker time with £100 and £500 remaining
This not where we wanted to be says Noel. Noel asks how long he has waited to appear on the show, and he says he applied back in 2008. The Banker thinks that Dave's phone will be ringing after the show with people wanting to help him and his charities.

Banker's offer:
£225

Dave says
NO DEAL

Noel opens Dave's box 17 and Dave wins £100

Matty with box 3 contains the £500

That was just cruel and unrelenting to the end says Noel.

Mia's Deal or No Deal Game Report 14/01/11

Noel says what an amazing week it has been, and talks about yesterday's game and says that DoND is all about fine lines, and unfortunately yesterday Scott crossed that fine line and missed out on £20,000 and went home with 50p.

Mia has box 18 today. Mia is a nurse, she has been qualified for about 2 weeks after 3 years of training. Mia has some flowers that Andy bought for her to cheer her up a little. We see a picture of Mia diving in Mexico, but Mia says she doesn't like fish and only did the dive as her friend wanted to do it, but she ended up having a panic attack and spent the day on the boat. The Banker calls and asks if she is afraid of anything else, and Mia says she also hates ducks and birds! The Banker says that he won't use any of that info against her. Mia says she has problems on a Friday as it is fish and chip day at the hospital and she struggles to dish them out! We then get to see some of Mia's family pics, and she has her mum and nan in the audience for support.

Round 1
4 - £5 Ron
Noel tells Mia to pace herself as she gets really excited about the blue going!
8 - £35,000 Matty
9 - 10p IJ
1 - 50p Georgina
Newbie Adam next and Noel reveals that Adam wants a nose job!
7 - £250 Newbie Adam

Banker time
That's a good start says Noel. The Banker asks if Mia remembers Grace's game when she didn't like clowns and all those clowns suddenly appeared in the studio, and there is bad news as lots of ducks have escaped today and they took lots of fish with them!

Banker's offer:
£9,000

Mia says
NO DEAL

Round 2
13 - £10,000 Derrick
Sophie next and Noel tries to remember her nickname, and she tells him it is 'Falt-out' as she says it all the time.
3 - £3,000 Sophie
20 - £500 Irene

Banker time
The Banker agrees that Andy does look like the chap from American Pie, and he tells Andy not to do that thing with a Mc Donald's apple pie as they are VERY hot! The Banker says he will call back with his offer, and then calls back on Noel's other phone, so Noel tells Mia to go over and answer it, there is a prawn on the chair which freaks Mia and then there are lots of duck noises!

Banker's offer:
£11,500

Mia says that she is in a pickle, as that offer is really good, but so is her board. She says that she needs a new car as her car doesn't reverse any more and it also leaks oil. The Banker calls to help Mia, and says that when you are struggling with an offer it is sometimes best to return to your wing position to get some clarity. The Camera then goes to Mia's wing position and there is a fish on a plate there!

Mia says
NO DEAL

Round 3
Everyone in the studio starts laughing, and then the remote camera appears with a fish attached to it and follows Mia around!
22 - £10 Dale
16 - 1p Claire
This is sensational stuff says Noel
11 - £20,000 Karl

Banker time
I think that was all right says Noel. The Banker says that Mia is charming, but her board rude and uncouth

Banker's offer:
£16,000

Mia goes to the wings for advice and is told that there is another round in the board. Andy tells her that he could see why she would deal, but if she went on with that board no one would call her greedy.

Mia says
NO DEAL

Round 4
5 - £1 Tony
Well that is the best possible start says Noel.
17 - £750 Jenna
Mia starts to wonder if she has £250,000 in her box.
15 - £5,000 Beryl

Banker time
That is fine says Noel. The Banker says he has only one thing in his favour now as Mia saw Scott lose £20,000 yesterday.

Banker's offer:
£20,000

Mia goes to her mum who shocks her by saying that she thinks there is another round in the game. Mia goes to Tracey who thinks the same. Andy says that if Mia plays on even if she gets a bad round she will still get a good offer in the next round. Mia says she might end up crying in a minute. The Banker calls back and asks to speak to Mia. Noel goes to sit in the audience as he thinks this could be a long call. Mia finishes talking to the Banker and says he is such a creep

Mia says
NO DEAL

Round 5
6 - £250,000 Sherilyn
Wow, that was the worst possible start says Noel.
14 - £50 Tracey
21 - £100,000 Andy

Banker time
That was the wrong 100 says Noel, and it was nearly a Scott type disaster. The Banker points out he tried to tell Mia to deal the £20,000, and it is possible for Mia to do more damage in the next round. He says he saw Mia mouth to her mum that she has to play to the end now.

Banker's offer:
£15,000

Noel says that is a great offer when you consider the Banker does halve the offer when the £250,000 goes normally. Mia really struggles with the decision, and gets a lot of advice from the wings. Andy tells Mia that the safety net has now gone if she does play on.

Mia says
DEAL

Round 6 - Proveout round
2 - £50,000 Tomas
That's a very good start says Noel
10 - £75,000 Zowie
Perfect says Noel
19 - £15,000 Dave

Banker time with £100 and £1,000 remaining
That is totally amazing as we have had the nightmare round 2 days in a row says Noel

Banker's offer would've been:
£500

Noel opens Mia's box 18 and reveals £1,000

Rina with box 12 contains the £100

Noel asks Mia why she didn't deal at £20,000, and Mia says that she couldn't deal with the board she had, as she had 4 of the power 5 still in play.

Scott's Deal or No Deal Game Report 13/01/11

Noel says we'd been having a ghastly few games, but yesterday Hannah managed to get the deposit she wanted for her house, and it was a banker spanking.

Scott has box 18. Scott is a graphic designer, and he tells a story about how he was originally on an arts course, and he managed to get on a graphic design course! Scott now has his own business and works on websites, rebrands and magazines amongst other things. We get to see an example of one of his pieces of work. Scott also shows a pic of him in Australia with some friends, and one of his friends is obsessed with the show, which is how Scott got involved with it. He says the Australian version is more glamorous and has a younger presenter.

Round 1
2 - Zowie - 1p
1 - Georgina - £250,000
Noel says that's called contrast!
11 - IJ - £5,000

19 - Irene - £750
15 - Mia - £20,000

Noel says the board's tipped to the banker. The banker doesn't like Scott's comments about the Australian version of the show. He says he's got in a showbiz team to re-do the introduction, which we get to see!

£5,000

Scott says
NO DEAL

Round 2
6 - Jenna - £100,000
8 - Tony - £3,000
3 - Tracey - £500

Banker time
The banker says he visited the hotel last night, and he saw IJ wearing some unusual pyjamas! IJ says that's right, but they're very comfy and people have complimented them. The banker says this is an unusual board and the offers can't move far either way with the top 2 missing.

Banker's offer:
£5,000

Scott says that's a good offer.

Scott says
NO DEAL

Round 3
Scott says this is the particularly exciting bit for him.
13 - Claire - £250
14 - Sherilyn - £1,000
5 - Tomas - £50,000

Banker time
The banker says he can't move and he's glued.

Banker's offer:
£5,000

Scott's friend in the audience says Scott knows what he's going to do, and that's to no deal and have an all-blue round. Scott says David's game is the one that stood out for him, as he went to the end and won some good money, and he'd like to do the same. Scott says he's feeling pretty lucky today.

Scott says
NO DEAL

Round 4
22 - Derrick - £5
4 - Rina - £10

17 - Dale - 10p
Scott has trouble chosing the next box.
12 - Matty - £1
Noel says Scott's so close to the perfect round
9 - Dave - £50

Banker time
The banker says that was very lucky.

Banker's offer:
£20,000

Noel says that offer is quite a result, and Scott says it's a lot of money. Scott's friend says it's too much to lose, but Scott wonders how long luck can last. Dave says this is the crucial point of the game, and it could turn either way from here. Irene says she can tell he wants to go on.

The banker phones and says he knows he can't change Scott's mind, but he says the board is quite similar to yesterday's, and how it crashed afterwards. Scott's friend says this is an unforgiving game and Scott has already been forgiven once! Scott says he thinks he's destined to win more though.

Scott says
NO DEAL

Round 6
Noel wonders if Scott's cockiness will pay off, or whether it'll be a cock-up!
20 - Karl - £15,000
That doesn't tell us a thing, says Noel.
10 - Beryl - £75,000
7 - Andy - £35,000

Banker time with 50p and £100 remaining

The banker cheers wildly down the phone and holds a party as he beat the cocky boy!

Box 16 with newbie Sophie contains the £100

Hannah has box 2. Hannah is a primary school teacher, and is now a supply teacher and has worked with all sorts of children. We get to see some pics of Hannah with her girl friends, and another pic of Hannah when she got christened. Hannah also shows a photo of her with her boyfriend. She has her mum in the audience.

Jim's Deal or No Deal Game Report 11/01/11

Noel talks about the last few games, and how the Power 5 values have been coming to the table a lot, and Grace yesterday had a bad game.

Jim has box 3. Jim is from Hertfordshire, and is a retired proof-reader. He talks about his job, and says some errors did slip through and appeared after he'd proof read things! He retired and joined an amateur dramatic group and has done that for 8 years, and also learned to play the guitar. We get to see a pic of Jim's wife and his late mother-in-law. Jim's wife is in the audience today. Jim also shows a pic of his grandchildren and another pic of him playing his guitar with his mate Bob!

Jim talks about how he had prostate cancer, and Noel says that's close to his heart as his own father Dudley died in 1990 of the same cancer, and he thinks awareness of it needs to be raised. Jim has an ornament with him which is a pair of crossed fingers on a stand. Noel says he's relieved as he thought the fingers were doing something else at first.
