Alice Mundy, 21, a student and trainee Stunt woman became the 2nd winner of Deal or No Deal's jackpot prize of £250,000. In a dramatic twist to her game after already dealing for £17,500, Alice was given the ultimate gamble of giving back the £17,500 to take a 50/50 chance on going home with either 1p or £250,000. |
|
The game starts with 22 numbered boxes each with an unknown value of between 1p and £250,000 contained in them, these are then randomly chosen by the 22 contestants. A contestant is then chosen to sit in the hot seat for that game with their chosen box. They then play a series of 'rounds' where they chose to eliminate the remaining boxes one by one - hopefully avoiding the boxes containing the big money. |
 |
 |
The twist comes in at the end of each round when the 'Banker' - a mysterious off-screen person offers the contestant a sum of money to 'buy' the box that the contestant has in front off of them and end the game. This sum of money is based on the amount of cash left in the remaining boxes. |
In the first round the contestant has to open five boxes before the Banker makes his first offer. In following rounds the player only has to open three boxes before the banker makes his offer. According to the banker he bases his offers on a number of factors including what cash values remain and also how 'he' views the attitude and way the contestant is playing the game. You normally find the first round offers are below an 'average' value of the boxes remaining which encourages the player to carry on into further rounds and add to drama. Although occasionally a tempting offer is made which does make the contestant stop to think for a while.
The show is really a game of pure chance as no-one knows what each box contains, and all the contestants have the same chance of winning the jackpot as their are no questions to answer or games of skill to perform to win the prize. This provides a great arena for the player to interact with the host and their contestants and this creates a great atmosphere and makes the show really watchable. |

The game format relies quite a lot on the host to build up the drama and add to the atmosphere and this is where Noel helps make the show with his interaction with the contestants and the chats with the Banker, although we only ever hear Noels side of the conversation. Noel is building up quite a collection of potential catchphrases during the show, and has most of them based around the ad breaks where he plays on the word break in his sentences.
Noel thinks that whoever plays today will have a bitter/sweet time, as they will remember the amount they won, but also the number of shows they played, as at the reunions they have that number always crops up.
Stephen has box 17 today. Stephen is a social care worker, and a big family man. He has his wife in the audience for support today, and says that family is everything to him, we get to see a picture of his 2 children. He has a small wooden box from Cuba where he got married, and if contains a cork from their champagne from their wedding, and he also has a small good luck bear from his children.

Noel says he doesn't want to influence anything, but he is really worried about the newbie who looks really nervous
22 - £1,000 Andy

Banker time
That is a great opening round says Noel. The Banker says he is not happy about that at all, and it is one of the best opening rounds for a contestant that he can recall.
Banker's offer:
£12,500
That is a really good offer says Stephen.
Stephen says
NO DEAL

Banker's offer:
£15,000
That is a fantasic offer says Stephen.
Stephen says
NO DEAL
Round 3
Noel asks Stephen the story about his father, as Stephen was brought up by his grandfather. He explains it was difficult, and when his grandfather died he took his ashes back to the Caribbean and had the chance to meet his father and says it was great and felt as though they had always known each other.

Stephen says
NO DEAL
Round 4
8 - £50 Ian
1 - £5 Justin
18 - £100 Barry
Banker time
That is a dream 8-box says Noel. The Banker says with that board almost whatever he offers is irrelevant as Stephen will be drawn on.
Noel asks what £21,000 would mean to Stephen and then reveals the real offer.
Banker's offer:
£25,000
Stephen's wife says it is a clever offer, but he also has more chance of going home with a red. The Banker calls back and says that he really believes Stephen will deal here. Stephen says he would like to talk to the Banker, and then the Banker calls back and Stephen answers, but the Banker hangs up on him! The Banker calls back and says he will talk to Stephen if he deals!
Stephen says
DEAL
Round 5 - Proveout round
Noel says he will be so angry with Stephen if he has turned down the chance to win £250,000. The Banker calls back as promised and speaks to Stephen. He says he knew Stephen was going to deal after Stephen's wife said there was more chance of him going home with a red than a blue, and he saw something in Stephen's eye.
4 - £100,000 James
That's taken some pressure off says Noel
10 - 50p Allan

£150,000
Noel says Stephen would have been offered the SWAP
Stephen says he would have kept his box.
Noel opens Stephen's box 17 and reveals £250,000
You let me down says Noel, as the whole studio goes into a deathly silence.
