NO DEAL

Then he proceeds to wipe out the £35K in the next round. The £100K and £50K are now looking very exposed with a fall-back of £15K.

Buzz opens a blue box, and it is time yet again for another break before the third box is opened.

I still don't think the game has got going yet. The crowd don't seem into it, despite the precarity of the board.

We're back

Last box before the banker.....

Rich gees up the audience who respond with cheers and applause...

5 - £1,000

Banker time

The current state of play with eight boxes left:-


10p
£1
£10
£100
£250
£15000
£50000
£100000

Banker says he has sussed Rich and although he's showing no emotion, inside he's churning over like a washing machine.....

Banker offers

£8,500

Offer is £8500.

Based on the precarious state of the board, maybe, just maybe, this might be a good time to deal.

Wouldn't blame him for going on though. It's a 50/50 call.

Rich calls down his fiance from the audience

Rich says

NO DEAL

Audience go wild

Next round

13 - £250 studio erupts!!!

15 - £15,000 mixed reaction first, but then wild applause again

17 - £1

Relief all around the studio

Banker time........

The state of the board with five boxes left:-


10p
£10
£100
£50000
£100000

Still a 50/50 call on whether or not to go on.

He could still have just 10p though, so needs to think carefully.

The offer should be in the region of £20K I would hope.

Some comedy gold from Noel there.

Comedy moment from Noel who tells everyone to act cool, as soon as the phone rings Noel races to the phone and demands to know the offer!!

Banker asks to speak to Rich, he asks what offer Rich thinks he'll get - Rich says it'll be in the teens.

Banker offers

£20,000

Way! I finally got one right!

The offer IS £20K !!

Rich calls down his fiance again. She says the £20,000 is real and the other numbers on the board are fictional at the minute

Rich says

DEAL

A sensible deal there at £20K I think.

And the correct one as it turns out - both the £50K and £100K go in the prove-out round.

He has either 10p or £100.

Proveout time

22 - £100,000

10 - £10

3 - £50,000

10p and £100 left

Banker would have offered £20

Rich has box 21 with £100

Box 9 has the 10p

Well Robo-Rich made the right deal at the right time, undoubtedly beat the banker and seemed an all round nice guy. He didn't show any emotion whatsoever though - even in his last round when he took out June's low blue and everyone around him was jumping up and down, he gave one clenched fist and that was it. Still, can't complain with his winnings - he obviously did something right.

Meh, that wasn't a great game - I wasn't particularly bothered whether he won or lost. But still, well done to him for conclusively beating the banker - hardly any of them manage to do that these days.

Well done Rich. His girlfriend had lovely eyes didn't she?

I thought the Banker would have offered a couple of grand more than £20,000 though, but still, a fair offer.

Can't believe Stevie had a red AGAIN!

Well done Rich, hope you enjoy your winnings!
