Beginner's luck held out for Davao on a dangerous board as he took one of our biggest wins to date. Only once so far have we had consecutive five-figure wins... and AARON got the second half of that pair, which happen to be the only two wins bigger than Davao's £27,500 to date! Who better, then, for this game?

£335,000 is the jackpot and the options are the usual six...



1-6 as ever to start!

Let's have Option 1 please!

That'll give you...

That board looks like this:

£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
£50,250
£83,750
£335,000

Two things to note. The top two backups must be at least 25% and 15% of the jackpot - and we're now at the stage where both of those require some bumping up on the Doctored Board. 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 2 on the table. Good luck!

Looking forward to my first game of this! Let's kick off with 8, 18, 11, 15 and 5 please!

And away we go!

Box 8 - £15,000...

Box 18 - £1,500! We know which of those is better

Box 11 - £1,750 is also a great box to lose here!

Box 15 - £7,500...

Box 5 - £4,000 completes a very pleasant opening round!

Your 17-box board, then:

£1,000
£1,250
£2,000
£2,250
£2,500
£2,750
£3,000
£3,500

FYFFES BANANA BONUS
£10,000

£335,000

Opening offer...

BANKER'S OFFER

£9,001

What, nine thousand? There's no way that can be right!

BANKER'S OFFER

£8,900

There we go At £8,900, Deal or No Deal?

Legendary.

Hahaha wonderful opening offer! Unfortunately no dice for the time being though, NO DEAL!

Boxes 4, 14 and 9 next please.

Three more boxes coming in hot like a dragon ball...

Box 4 - £2,250! This is turning into a seriously tasty game...

Box 14 - £35,000! First really significant damage...

Box 9 - £1,250! Quite the riposte!

That left side would look pretty decent in any circumstances, let alone these ones.

£1,000
£2,000
£2,500
£2,750

£3,500

£25,000
£50,250
£83,750
£335,000

And up we go...

BANKER'S OFFER

£14,500

Not bad for a second offer, and of course it would give us the back-to-back five-figure wins! Lots of money on the board though of course... at £14,500, Deal or No Deal?

Climbing at a good rate already, but there's plenty to be had at on this board as well as the Banana Bonus, so NO DEAL for now!

Let's have 19, 1 and 7 next please.

Let's see if we can gobble that bonus up whilst keeping the jackpot, at least, in play!

Box 19 - £2,750 keeps the blues cruise going, that'll do!

Box 1 - £335,000! There goes the top prize...

Box 7 - £5,000 isn't an unwelcome sight though!

The Banker will surely be relieved at that jackpot hit, but it's not like this game is over...

£1,000
£2,000
£2,500
£3,000
£3,500
FYFFES BANANA BONUS
£10,000
£20,000
£25,000
£50,250
£83,750

Offer?

BANKER'S OFFER

£8,900

We're back there again! Surely a sign of how significant an influence that top prize had. At £8,900, Deal or No Deal?

Shame to see the jackpot go, really narrows the field down in this twist but there's plenty of options for recovery! NO DEAL.

17, 6 and 10 next please.

We're playing for a bit more than we would have done with a lower jackpot at least!

Box 17 - £3,000 and it keeps getting more stable!

Box 6 - £20,000 counters that...

Box 10 - £3,500! Good round!

Interesting 8-box...

Offer?

BANKER'S OFFER

£14,500

We've moved from £8,900 to £14,500 for the second time tonight! Is it more tempting this time with the jackpot gone? Of course, there's still that Fyffes Banana Bonus to chase as well... at £14,500, Deal or No Deal?

Certainly it's a much more competitive offer with the jackpot gone. Even with the three blues on there still, I'm pretty confident in going with another NO DEAL again here...

Boxes 13, 3 and 12 please!

Plenty of ways to justify that decision, plenty of ways it can go wrong, and even ways of both...

Box 13 - £83,750! Down goes the ceiling...

Box 3 - £1,000! Up goes the floor!

Box 12 - £10,000 is rather less clear-cut... I wonder how the Banker will respond now?

A see-saw round leaves us in this position...

£2,000
£2,500
FYFFES BANANA BONUS
£25,000
£50,250

Is it £8,900 or £14,500 this time?

BANKER'S OFFER

£14,500 AND NO 23

OR

BANKER'S OFFER

£8,900 + TEMPUR CLOUD LUXE MATTRESS + BED FRAME

That mattress and divan have a combined value of £3,458 and would be safe regardless of 23! So the Banker has found a way to get those two sums in... to either of those offers, Deal or No Deal?
