Mel's game today.

Some call it the governor, some call it the Daddy, some call it the persuader, it is the £26,000 offer from the Banker that gets so many out of the crazy chair says Noel, just as it did yesterday.

I see someone from the west wing is missing. Probably dodgy fish yet again.

Mel has box 14 today. Mel is from Surrey, and prefers Noel to say that she is from South London. Mel is in her 2nd year at university studying social work. She has her mum in the audience for support today, and her mum says she will get involved if needed.

We get to see one of Mel's family pics and also one of her niece and nephew. Mel says that she really loves being an aunt...

Mel doesn't have a system, but has 4 special numbers.

Here we go...

Round 1

Pauline is away ill today

2 - £100 Eddie

17 - £3,000 Pezza

7 - £1,000 Cath

6 - 50p Carol

22 - £750 Nicola

Banker time

A very good opening that is says Noel... Noel asks the Banker if he has something jammed somewhere as he sounds in pain, the Banker tells him he grazed his elbow on an Ottoman, and has found a long lost pleasure of eating his own scabs!! The Banker says that Mel has a very mature outlook on life and can't believe she is only 20.


Banker's offer:

£11,000

Mel says

NO DEAL

I like her comment that she was tempted to take it to get in the record books

nice opening offer

Looks like my theory was right - dodgy food yet again!!

Round 2

18 - £10,000 Dave

Noel asks Margaret what has happened to Pauline, and she goes into detail about how she was backwards and forwards to the bathroom all night being sick!

12 - £10 Margaret


Noel knows about one of Mel's dreams and she wants her own private island, he then calls a break...

Why were you off ill during your time on the show? Did you eat dodgy food as well?

Yes, I missed 3 shows due to dodgy fish at the hotel.

We're back
Last box before the Banker

16 - £5,000 Sean


Banker time

Have I missed something... why does the banker keep talking about eating scabs?

That is a great column of 7 reds says Noel... The Banker says that he has just eaten a big scab with puss on!! The Banker says that everyone is beating him at the moment as there are 3 players who have always had big reds recently, they are Declan, Lamin and Scarlet, and everyone is just avoiding them early on...

Banker's offer:

£14,000

Mel says that she has a good feeling about today.

Mel says

NO DEAL

She may have stalled over that a bit too long...

aw that block wasn't going to last that long was it ?

Round 3

Shell next and she hits the microphone as she goes to open her box, and Noel goes over and breaks it off from the wing and says that she has really broken it

11 - £50 Shell

Mel says that she will do a dance if the Banker offers more than £20,000 at the next offer

3 - £100,000 Lynne

I don't think you will be dancing now says Noel

5 - £75,000 Kris


Banker time

That is the first damaging moment in the game so far says Noel... The Banker is happier now, and was worried as he was beginning to doubt himself! He tells Shell that she will be replacing the microphone out of her winnings!

Banker's offer:

£7,000
