Carl's game today.

Noel feels a bit cheated after yesterdays game, and talks about how Winston stopped too early in his game and missed out on the chance for £250,000

Why haven't they got a live link-up to Barack Obama's inauguration? He could start his presidentship by choosing Carl's first box for him.

Carl has box 21 today. Carl is a crane driver, and Noel says that it is a job he couldn't do as he's afraid of heights. Carl is also a carer and looks after disabled or disadvantaged children. He has his wife in the audience and Noel asks how they met, and she tells him that their eyes crossed, and Noel asks if they are both cross-eyed!!

Carl says he is a gambler and has a lucky 50 cent coin that he was given. We get to see a couple of Carl's family pics.



Here we go...

Round 1

18 - £20,000 Michael

8 - 10p Anna - Alfonso opens the box as Anna is still away

6 - £15,000 Walter

17 - £10 Andy

2 - 1p Bobbie

Banker time

Good start.......5-3 in the power 5's and the 1p and 10p gone

The Banker says he is on the up and ready to fight Carl! He tells Carl that he used the same engagement ring for his 6 wives, but when he gave it to his last wife it still had the previous wife's finger in it

Banker's offer:

£9,500

Carl says

NO DEAL

Is £15,000 a new blue

Next round

19 - £3,000 Clare-Louise

9 - £750 Ann

Noel gets Carl to do the break link....

Clare-Louise had the famous "?" box then

We're back
Last box before the Banker

3 - £35,000 Alfie


Banker time

Still looking good.......at least he took the power 5 from the right end of the block.

The Banker says that he can hear newbie Daniel whispering what the offers will be He asks Daniel what he thinks the next offer will be and Daniel replies £78,000

Banker's offer:

£15,000

Noel thinks that the Banker wants Carl out of the game quite quickly today, but thinks Carl could be in it until the end, and Carl agrees.

Carl says

NO DEAL

Next round

5 - £50 Steve

Noel starts stomping around impersonating Carl

20 - £10,000 Ty

12 - £75,000 Newbie Daniel

Banker time

That's a bit of a dent says Carl... The Banker thinks that Carl is really a serious gambler and the £75,000 going was a relief, and he overheard Carl's wife saying she was worried that Carl will go all the way, and that confirms what he thought!

Banker's offer:

£16,500

Noel asks Trev what he thinks, and he says that he knows Carl is a betting man and he knows what Carl will do... Walter chips in with that while the 2 biggest are there, GO FOR IT

Carl says

NO DEAL

Next round

14 - £5,000 Debbie

15 - £50,000 Ade

Noel says that this is an amazing board for a gambler, and wonders who is going to win after the break...
