The jackpot keeps going up, now hitting £325,000... but how close will BEN get to resetting it?

First, we need to decide on our rules of engagement...



His first selection, 1-6, will decide that one!

Let's hope Option 2 makes for an interesting game.

Will Option 2 be fun for you?



It's your second go on the Doctored Board!

So, here we go then. All the non-jackpot boxes have been given the squeeze, meaning there's a little less money on the board but a lot less danger...

£1,000
£1,250
£1,500
£1,750
£2,000
£2,250
£2,500
£2,750
£3,000
£3,500
£4,000
£5,000
FYFFES BANANA BONUS
£7,500
£10,000
£15,000
£20,000
£25,000
£35,000
£50,000
£81,250
£325,000

Two things to note. Firstly, that £81,250 isn't a misprint; the second-highest box must be at least 25% of the jackpot, so has been increased from £75k to fit that condition. And that FYFFES BANANA BONUS box? It's worth £6,000 if won from the box at the end of the game. If revealed in live play, the contestant immediately wins £3,000. In either case, this money cannot be used for Box 23.

Speaking of Box 23, even that's been given the squeeze. Your money menu looks like this:
ADD HALF
+£5,000
+£2,500
MONEY BACK
75%
HALF

Also, Box 23 is optional in this game, and the Banker cannot make offers where it must be used, only where it must not be.

Regular game with no predictions otherwise, and you have Box 20 on the table. Good luck!

Let's hope I don't get a Banana Sandwich this time around.

1, 3, 5, 7 and 11 to start, please.

Let's get odd-gobbling!

Box 1 - £1,500! Nice way to start.

Box 3 - £325,000! And there goes the jackpot, so soon...

Box 5 - £3,500, so we're back in blues business there...

Box 7 - £2,000 extends that!

Box 11 - £2,500 finishes off a round that leaves one of the most stable boards you're ever likely to see...

...and here it is in its full super-condensed glory!

The Banker says it's hardly worth him making an immediate financial offer on this sort of board...

BANKER'S OFFER

SWAP

...so he'll do this instead! Swap or No Swap?

Realistically the best offer I could hope for here. SWAP for 19, please.

13, 15 and 17, please.

Alright! He liked that offer, but will he like the future ones? 19 on the table and here we go...

Box 13 - £1,250 and this just gets even more stable!

Box 15 - £1,750 Talk about an amazing £81,250 board!

Box 17 - £7,500 is a pretty nice first red too!

Already down to five blues, high-skewing at that, and on this board...

First financial offer of the game, not that it's especially likely to be tempting on this configuration...

BANKER'S OFFER

£8,125 + ONEPLUS 5T

That phone is worth £449, on top of an offer already 10% of the top prize... Deal or No Deal?

I just got a new phone that works perfectly fine, so NO DEAL.

21, 22 and 18 (I'm opening 20 at 6 box to heighten the suspense ), please.

You can't argue with the entertainment value of that move!

Box 21 - £4,000 is yet another blue!

Box 22 - £81,250! It's a £50,000 game now... but what a £50,000 game.

Box 18 - £1,000! An amazing reply!

This is the principle of Doctored Board being taken to another level...

£35,000
£50,000

Believe it or not, there is some risk involved in playing on. Therefore...

BANKER'S OFFER

£10,250

On that bizarre configuration, Deal or No Deal?

On a board this stable with the bonus prize box still in play, anything short of an AMO is an easy NO DEAL.

16, 14 and 12, please.

Almost a procession in this scenario it seems, but will that be the case at the next call?

Box 16 - £10,000 is something approaching destabilising? Maybe?

Box 14 - £20,000 certainly is, though again we can live with it...

Box 12 - £2,250! And up goes the floor again!

This truly is what Doctored Board is all about.

£2,750
£3,000

An improved offer...

BANKER'S OFFER

£13,750

The Banker already thinks he knows what's coming, but everything more than £1,250 above that could go in a round... Deal or No Deal?

75% of the average is my dealing point on most stable configurations, but this board is beyond stable. NO DEAL.

10, 8 and 20, please.

Are we about to increase the floor even further by finding that Banana Bonus? We've got three boxes and the last of them is the one you began with...

Box 10 - £2,750! Now you can't have a 2-box with less than a £4k average!

Box 8 - £25,000 adds just a bit of tension to this one... which was already the tensest opening of this bizarre game. Just what did you swap away?

Box 20 -

The Banker wonders if it's even worth making a cash offer to you here!

So instead, he's going to offer you this...

BANKER'S OFFER

BEND THE BANANA BONUS

If you accept this offer, you will forfeit your £3,000 Fyffes Banana Bonus, and instead, MONEY BACK on your Box 23 will be replaced by DOUBLE and you will also receive an extra offer at 3-box.

The Banker adds that he's not making a 5-box cash offer after this!

So, to that bending of the Banana Bonus... Deal or No Deal?

Interesting decision here.

A 3 box offer isn't really helpful on this configuration, and I only have a 1 in 6 chance of benefiting from the Box 23 upgrade, so NO DEAL.

6, 2 and 4, please.
