Alexandra's game today.

Another day in the "sometimes" dream factory... Noel runs through the peaks and troughs in luck during the battle of the sexes...

Alexandra has box 10 today. Alexandra is shaking as she says it's all surreal... She is at university at the moment... She tells Noel that she thinks she has not taken enough risks in life at the moment, and she was quite shy whilst at school... Noel tells her that she has given some good solid advice while on the wings...


Here we go...

Round 1

17 - £10

11 - £50,000 Groans for Ed, and Noel says he could be getting a reputataion for having large numbers!!

3 - £5,000

2 - £10,000

22 - £35,000

Banker time

All of which applies to me, but wouldn't make me gamble thousands of pounds in a game of pure luck.

We'll see if Alexandra does - if she gets the chance, which on recent form she won't.

Alexandra referred to Pottsy as "Alex"... so if he's known as Alex at the hotel, why is he Pottsy on the show?

WOW. That's quite an opening round says Noel... The banker says he has fully recovered after his spell in hospital, where he was at death's door after laughing so much in the past few games!!!! The banker has the word vodka in his file for Alexandra!!! It's another secret from the hotel

Well the one word that would describe that round would be ouch (ouch if £75k - £250k was guaranteed to still be there... )

Alexandra says

NO DEAL

Does Noel sound as though he's got a cold?

Next round

19 - £100,000 NO, NO, NO goes Noel...

15 - £5 Newbie Steve

Box 20 next, but Noel calls a break...

If so, we can but hope for special guest host Someone Who Understands Money... I gather Endemol have an L. Harrington on their books but she was too easily led, so there's always a D. McCall who's not busy this time of year...

Lawks, this is a dangerous board. A moderate result is likely if Alexandra is unsettled - and if the Banker allows one...

We're back and it's viewer competition time...

Today is box 1 containing £15,000

Back to Alexandra's game...

Last box before the banker...

20 - £100

Banker time

The banker says he doesn't feel the urge to be mean!! Noel asks if he is really feeling better!! The banker says he saw a light and heard a voice saying don't be bad....

Alexandra says

NO DEAL

Next round

Alexandra looks at Jean, and Noel asks her if she is still having dinner with the banker!!! She tells Noel that the affair is over now!! Joan chips in and says that Jean does still want to continue the liason with the banker!!!

18 - £250,000 BOTHER goes Noel

16 - £1,000

5 - £50


Banker time

STUPIDLY high first offer. Stupidly high. Waaaay waaaay waaaaay too high. I'd offer £800, at the most £1,800 for that opener. I am hating this game already thanks to mr. banker.
2nd offer was way too high aswell.

Good luck anyway alexandra

That was beginning to feel rather horrible says Noel... The banker passes on a message to Jean, and he is very happy for Jean to remain the lady of his house, he is also happy for Joan to remain the fruitcake of the studio!!!!
