Claire's game today.

Noel talks about last week and the contrasting games we've had, although there has been a theme running through them and most of the contestants haven't thought about the boxes they are going to choose, and also they need to think about not giving too much info to the Banker...

Claire has box 12 today. Claire is from Birmingham and works as cabin crew. Noel asks Claire about the story where she gave sausages to vegetarians! She tells him that they said vegetarian on the packet, but weren't, and they didn't find out until too late.

We get to see some family pics and she has her husband Steve in the audience for support. We also see a piccie of her dog who unfortunately was run over by a dog recently and is not very well at the moment, so Noel barks a get well soon to him...


Here we go..

Round 1
Claire doesn't have a system, but 8 features heavily in her life, so 8 is her lucky number, and Lisa has that box today, and this sets her off into one of her fits of giggles

1 - £750 Maureen

3 - £250 Wayne

5 - £1,000 Carol

7 - £1 Ian

15 - £20,000 Derrick

Banker time

I would like that start!!!

Good start despite the £20k

Noel talks about how most people don't know how to react to the £20,000 going... The Banker agrees with Claire's husband that they don't think she is competitive enough for this game!

Banker's offer:

£1,000

The Banker doesn't think that Claire has what it takes today!

Claire says

NO DEAL

what sort of offer is that.......is the banker drunk ???

I'd take that.

Noel, for once, has good advice. I'm sure he's got Wakeyist intent in delivering it, but a broken clock tells the right time twice a day.

The Banker has set out the theme for the day; 'you're a coward, you deserve to lose, and you're going to lose'. Hopefully he'll change tack.

what a terrible offer!

Round 2

9 - £10 Steve

17 - £100 Stephen

Noel thinks this is getting very serious now, and he gets Lisa to hand over to the break, but all we get is a fit of giggles

The Banker won't be able to fool around for long on this board. Nine of the top ten at the end of Act 1, the mean will be pushing £40k if this is a low one as well... FD's already north of fifteen grand.

We're back
Last box before the Banker

11 - £50 Dirk

Banker time

The Banker still thinks Claire isn't courageous... He is making an offer now for Claire to walk!


Banker's offer:

£5,000

These offers are rubbish.

Lots of groans for that....

Claire says

NO DEAL

what has she done to deserve offers like that ?

Round 3

21 - £5,000 Newbie Chris

13 - £250,000 Anna

19 - £75,000 Colin

Banker time

The old man has twigged the red streak. So he is determined to stop it, regardless who is playing.

Oh what a round says Noel... The Banker says that there is no need to play with Claire's mind after that round.


Banker's offer:

£7,500
