Bel's game today.

Noel says they tried so hard to manufacture a dream for Carmine yesterday, but like the past few days the boxes haven't been with the contestants, but he hopes that will change today and there is someone playing who can make the most of that.

Bel has box 10 today.

Bel is a hosital reception supervisor. Bel's husband is in the audience for support today, and Noel says that he is a real bully and has been pestering Bel since he was 13! Bel has small homemade DoND box with the number 8 on it, she says it is No. 8 because of her shape! She opens the box and shows us some of her family pics, and she also has her granddad's bible inside for some luck.

Bel says 10 is her lucky number, and she also has some lucky numbers that she will be using.

Here we go...

Round 1

Noel asks for a powerful blue opening round

9 - £10 Debbie

Mo next, and Bel is a little worried about picking him as he has had lots of large numbers but it is one of her choseb numbers.

1 - £250,000 Mo

12 - £100 Harold

14 - £5,000 David

20 - 50p Matt

Banker time

That wasn't too bad says Noel. The Banker says it would have been a fabulous start apart from Mo's box, he loves Bel and is enjoying giving her a ring

Banker's offer:

£7,000

Bel says

NO DEAL

Round 2

15 - £3,000 Glenda

4 - £1,000 Newbie Dave


Noel gets Bel to call the break...

What was that about newbie Dave? Noel referred to how he was another contestant from Worksop and then Dave said something about Joe living on his street? Who's Joe?

He said George

Oh that makes more sense. It still sounded more like "Joe" to me though...

It's the accent - he definitely said George, but it sounded like Joe

We're back
Last box before the Banker

16 - 10p Beth


Banker time

This is now looking rather good says Noel. The Banker says he is finding it hard to concentrate as Bel has a sexy voice and he then asks to speak to Bel. Bel starts describing the clothes she is wearing to the Banker!

Banker's offer:

£12,500

Bel says that is a lot of money for her and her husband.

Bel says

NO DEAL

Round 3

13 - £500 Dawn

Bel says there is a bit of a spanner in the works as her son was born in August, but she has 8 on her box that she brought along.

8 - £5 Jean

What a lot of fuss over £5 says Noel

19 - £750 Mark

Banker time

Wow, Mo's had £250,000 four times in eight shows! The odds of that must be really low. Why do I get the feeling when his actual game comes round he'll bring 1p to the table? (Yes, I realise that the boxes don't have memories)

Anyhow, it's almost the best 100k board you could ask for so far... every red from 10k to 100k at 11-box...

Magnificent says Noel, and he thinks that Bel's courage is going to be put to the test today.

Banker's offer:

£17,000

Bel says that she has never had that sort of money in her life. Bel has some more numbers but she is not sure if they would be lucky or unlucky. She says she is not greedy, but there is an amount on the board that would solve all their problems, and it is not the £100,000.

Bel says

NO DEAL

Round 4

Logic says you will hit some reds now says Noel, but hopefully you will still have block power.

21 - £100,000 Nat

22 - £15,000 Tom

Al with box 11 next, but Noel calls a break first.

Why is the Banker surprisingly generous this game?

He has offered her 38%, 57%, and 61% of average so far. Typical values for 17,14,11 box are 25%,30%,35%. With no £250K, and 1p still there, he would normally crucify the player. Does he have a reason?

We're back

11 - £35,000 Al
