It's the second game tonight, an after KP's Power 5 win next to take on the Banker is... Aaron?

That's right! I'm about to play my second game of this series, and it's time to welcome my host and Banker for this battle... KP!

Let battle commence!

With the emphasis on the first syllable, because it's 1:20am here - which is the perfect time for us to engage in a game!



So let's get started. Pick a number between 1! and 3! to determine tonight's rules of engagement from this lot:

Between 1! and 3!? I'll take 2! then!

Iiiiiin 2...



GREAT CALL! Now your top 3! will be truly worthy of an exclamation mark, and this introduction will now be a big factor in this game! Pick six from 1-22 and you'll get a provisional board, you can stick with it or twist for a new six...

Awesome! Right then, let's have 1, 2, 6, 14, 21 and 22 please!

And here they are, in the order you stated...

£60,000
£75,000
£40,000
£500,000
£200,000
£35,000

Which would give you this board:




Well, I think it's safe to say that fulfils exactly one of the May Criteria for a good draw here! Do you STICK and take the strength with that £500k/£200k combo, or TWIST and look for something more stable with more than two six-figure sums?

Having a £500k jackpot is nice, but £75k down are some of the lowest sums available. I'm going to TWIST and try and get more 6-figure boxes up there!

5, 16, 7, 8, 19 and 20 to replace those!

We won't be playing for half a million tonight, but let's see what we are playing for... here is your new top six!

£250,000
£25,000
£30,000
£100,000
£70,000
£350,000

Weirdly similar to the initial draw there! Still, the Banker has to be concerned any time £250,000 is not the jackpot!



You have Box 15 on the table and a five-box opening round before we hit the opening prediction!

Almost wishing I didn't now, but let's see how it goes! Especially with some yellow boxes coming in in 5 boxes' time...

We'll go with 8, 18, 11, 5 and 4 please!

This is certainly still a stronger board than the regular one however you slice it! And now, your opening round...

Box 8 - £250, always a good start!

Box 18 - £25,000, hopefully we don't add another zero there...

Box 11 - £10,000, also acceptable at that order of magnitude but not the next one!

Box 5 - 50p! That's the order of magnitude we like

Box 4 - £5,000, completing an opening round you have to be fine with!

Your 17-box board looks like this



The £500, £750, and £1,000 are about to be yellowed. Your prediction will determine the type of yellow here...

You quite like starting at a third of the average, and you also quite like offering £16,500... Let's go with that.

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

£16,500

Trying to play off known Banker tendencies...

BANKER'S OFFER

£13,750

...which, of course, is something the Banker will then change when he's got an incentive to do so! Still, at least you're bang on that 20% error mark, so you will be adding two mediums as well as one from the small stack...

Fair enough, they can be useful! 3 for the small, 1 and 4 medium...

And NOW you have this board...



Not a great draw but it's an upgrade anyway! At £13,750, Deal or No Deal?

Ah well! Not thebest of draws but at least the board is strong. NO DEAL!

Let's go 14, 9 and 19 please.

Box 14 - 10p! That'll improve any board

Box 9 - £100,000 - at least it's only #3 on this board?

Box 19 - £250,000

About all we can say good about that round is that it wasn't in a regular game.



Dare you predict?

BANKER'S OFFER

£9,229

At that palindromic offer, Deal or No Deal?
