Halloween Catapult twist: If the player gets to 5-box in live play, they can choose to have 4 shots or 2 shots. If they choose 4, and get 1 in, they win a holiday... if they miss, there's no downside. If they choose 2 shots, and get 1 in, they win a holiday AND get to proceed one box at a time... but the downside is that if they miss, the banker looks in their box.

Parvinder has box 12 today. Parvinder prefers to be called Parv and asks Noel to cross out some of her namebadge so only Parv shows in it. The Banker calls and asks if Parv would like the air conditioning on, a drink or anything else! Parv talks about how she got into teaching. Parv has a little teddy bear who she has called Noel. Parv shows us a picture of her and her brother when they was younger, her brother is in the audience for support today. We see another photo of Parv's family and her fiancee.

Noel runs through the options for Parv now, which if she plays on gives her a chance to play the catapult, and the chance to play on 1 box at a time. Parv says that when she was standing on the wings she never considered playing to the end, and considered a win of around £10,000 to £15,000.

Jess' Deal or No Deal Game Report 01/11/11 - Bankenstein's Monsters Halloween Special

Jess's game today. Dr Bankenstein (Noel) says everyone is allowed into his laboratory by invitation only, and they have to adhere to strict rules. He allows us to view some his creations on the wings! He then realises he has a spare brain in a jar, and he talks about how Angela used her brain yesterday to defeat Dr Pettigrew's catapult.

Halloween Catapult twist: If the player gets to 5-box in live play, they can choose to have 4 shots or 2 shots. If they choose 4, and get 1 in, they win a holiday... if they miss, there's no downside. If they choose 2 shots, and get 1 in, they win a holiday AND get to proceed one box at a time... but the downside is that if they miss, the banker looks in their box.

Jess has box 6. We get to see a pic of Jess before she was made up for Halloween. Jess shows a pic of her two dogs who are her life, and then she gets emotional as she shows a pic of her dad who died recently while on holiday. Jess has her "mum 2" in the audience today.

10 - Sam - £15,000
"Oh crumbs", says Noel.
2 - Julie - £1,000

18 - Bob - £35,000
9 - George - 50p
Noel says the game had a shocking start but has made a recovery.
5 - Neville - £750

Banker time
The banker says this is a very balanced board and is almost symmetrical.

Banker's offer:
£13,013

Jess says she didn't think she'd be offered that, and she had a gut feeling it'd be a game where the reds went first. Nick asks Jess if she feels positive, and she says she does, but she talks about having a slice of the cake rather than all the cake. John says Jess could eat a whole cake! Sam says she just has to lose a couple of reds for the board to be decimated. Jess says she could pay off her student debts with that offer, and she could also do other things she wanted to do, and she says she just wants a go on the catapult!

The banker rings and says if Jess deals, he'll definitely let her have a go on the catapult.

Jess says
DEAL

Noel says this will be fascinating, and Jess gets everyone to wish her luck as she hopes she's made the right decision.

Round 4 - proveout

20 - Janine - £250,000
19 - Aaron - £500
8 - Rachael - £5,000

Banker time with 1p and £100 remaining...

Banker's offer would've been:
£22.50

The banker says he's still going through with the plan that he thought of earlier.

Jess has £100 in her box 6.

Box 13 with Claudio contains the 1p

The banker rings and gets Noel to reveal that the destination of the holiday is an all-inclusive week for 2 in Mexico. The banker says he's going to give Jess the chance to win the holiday, and she can have as many shots on the catapult as she likes, BUT it'll cost £250 per shot.

John says that's a good deal, because it'd only cost £1,000 if she used 4 shots and got the holiday.

Jess has a practice shot and misses, but she says she liked using the catapult!

Jess is having 1 SHOT on the catapult which will cost her £250.

Noel says he thinks he's found Ann Widdecombe's brain in the box of brains.

Jess takes the shot and misses.

Her total winnings are £12,763.
