Gavin's game today.

Noel describes the week as a rollercoaster week, and goes on to talk about Lynn's game yesterday and how he was convinced she would deal at £17,499, but she totally shocked him and the whole studio with her decision to play on and get a great result

Gavin has box 19 today. Noel reveals that Gavin is a police officer, which gets some groans from the pilgrims!! He tells Noel that he does some beat work, and Noel asks if that is that thing that police used to do in the past!! Gavin shows a pic of him and his girlfriend, and tells Noel that he keeps getting asked by family and friends when they will be getting married....

Here we go...

Round 1

Gavin says he will unleash the beast that is Brian later in the game

3 - £5,000

2 - £15,000

6 - £1,000

5 - £35,000 Groans for that one

11 - £50 Big cheers for the only blue of the round...

Banker time

Noel asks Gavin what he thinks of the banker, and he replies he is there to do a job and save some brass The banker says he has a long list of evidence to use against Gavin The banker says he is a fan of marriage and wonders what Gavin would say if he offered him £20,000 on the condition of marrying his girlfriend!!


Banker offers

£8,500

Noel asks if 19 means anything to Gavin, and he replies non of the mumbers really do...

Gavin says

NO DEAL

Next round

15 - £20,000 Groans for that one

Gavin says he could do with a trumpet from Norman now, and asks for a blue

22 - 10p

Noel asks how big Norman's repertoire is, and Norman replies it's quite large, so Noel asks for a police theme....

Norman obliges and Noel calls a break...

This is looking like one of those games that could be either huge or a complete disaster, reminds me of Kascey's baord at this stage!

We're back
Last box before the banker
Noel takes us over to the board and says Gavin is still in a strong position at the moment

8 - £75,000 Big groans


Banker time

This is a very interesting gameboard actually and one that could entice a big money win. The chances of hitting the £50,000/£100,000 and £250,000 are much slimmer now and he could very well walk away with £30,000 +

That is exactly what we didn't want says Noel... Noel asks Gavin about a car accident that he had while on duty, and Gavin describes it to everyone and how he was off for 2 months recovering, but that it didn't put him off returning to the force...

Banker offers

£12,500

Gavin says he didn't think he would be twitching after the second round, and he goes to Rossano for advice... Rossano says it's still a strong board, and the banker will still be concerned about it...

Gavin says

NO DEAL

Killer Brian again!!

And look at the state of that board now...

Although, it is highly reminiscent of Paul M and he had £100,000 in his box.

God, I used to hate Rossano and now I think he's one of the best there, since yesterday and now, even more great comments today.

Next round

12 - £3,000 Some groans for that one...

Noel says we need to start hitting these blues now... Gavin thinks about Brian next, and Noel says I am sure I've seen him on a NOT wanted poster!!!

13 - £250,000 You did unleash the beast says Noel...

10 - £500

Banker time

Noel tries to remain positive by telling Gavin that there is still big money on the board. The banker has a pop at Rossano about his earlier comments, and he's marking his file!! The banker says it's a game of 2 coppers, one in the chair and one at the top of the board...

Banker offers

£7,100

Wow, he really unleashed the beast then

Round 3 Stats
Boxes left: 11
Mean: £14,646.96
Offer: £7,100
Offer (%): 48.47%
Fair Deal: £4,052.34
Volatility: 1.64
Redometer: -27 (↓11)

It's basically an all or nothing game now, but I'd carry on with all those blues to hit.

Noel tells Gavin that he has had a string of good offers from the banker...

Gavin says

NO DEAL

Are we looking at our first all blue squashdown here??

It seems like more than 3 times that Brian had had the biggie - and now £50k goes. But Gaz had a board like this (100k and 10k his only reds) - and look what happened there! (Only Gavin's offers are tons better!)

I was expecting Brian to play today too.

Next round

14 - £50,000 More groans

Noel says this is quite amazing to reach this point and only have discovered 3 blues

21 - 50p Cheers and applause

Noel calls a break...

It's also similar to £15,000 Debbie who, even though she didn't win it, had the biggie in her box after a 6 blues/£10,000/£250,000 final eight.

Only difference here is that Gavin has £100,000 left, not the biggie.

Both Gaz and Debbie had the highest amount in their box so...


(Then again, Jayne had 10p)
