Quite even at 8-box, now

I would be looking for £7,500 - £9,000

Noel asks Ann what she would do with the money, and she would like to treat her daughter and the rest of her family.

Banker's offer:

£4,500

Jehad and Judith tell Ann to think about this offer, but Ann is ready for the question really quickly...

Ann says

NO DEAL

Definatly worth going on...

Round 5

13 - 10p Scott

Perfect start says Noel...

17 - £10,000 Sylvie

1 - £500 Gladys

Banker time

A bit of relief with that round

Now I would be looking for £12,000 - £15,000

You're making the most of it says Noel... The Banker thought that was an extraordinary moment when Ann said NO DEAL, and the look on her daughter's face.

Banker's offer:

£9,000

And that's a No Deal from me, too low!

Michael reminds Ann of John's game and Ann says that she knows what she is going to do... Just as Noel asks the question the Banker calls back! He has something to say, and if Ann plays on and has a nightmare round the offer will be £60, but if she has the perfect round the offer will be £41,000...

That is not fair says Ann and he shouldn't do that! Ann gets more advice from the wings and they tell her not to get blinded by the Banker's gameplay...

Ann says

DEAL

And she takes it, think we could see a huge error

Proveout round 6

3 - £35,000 Rachel

5 - £100 Kerry

2 - £50 Matt


Banker time with £1,000 and £50,000 remaining

I knew she made an error!

She should've forgotten about John's game and played her own!

And with that offer, I would've gone for it

Before Noel can open the box Ann says that she would have swapped

The Banker calls and says that he enjoyed the big build up that Noel did and was then ruined He allows Ann the SWAP

Noel swaps box 4 for box 8

Noel opens box 8 and reveals £1,000

Oooh, a hypo swap and wow! She avoided throwing away £50,000!

Deborah with box 4 contains the £50,000

Not much being said about this game; the big decision was at five-box, it was arguable either way, it went the wrong way but at least the hypo swap kept the worst of WakeyNoel at bay for another day.

Of course the Banker enjoyed the big build-up. It was the big Squander Hype and I know that without even seeing it. Kudos to Ann for disrupting it, and the order of the final two boxes was fitting.

To be honest, I think the reason he enjoyed it was because it made Noel look a bit foolish. He was doing the build up to the box opening in his typical professional presenting style (he wasn't "guilt tripping" as much as he could've been actually!), and Ann put the kibosh on it by saying she'd actually have swapped!

The advice was too cautious at the 4.5K and 9K offers but Ann was a character I suppose.
