Jo's game today.

Noel gives love to the wings and eternal love to the pilgrims, although he says there is one person not loving things at the moment and that is the Banker He talks about the 'Love Throne' twist and how it helped to transform both Jean and Justin's games so far.

After yesterday's, this will be a tough one to follow

Noel's in a bullish mood: "Come on Jo, time to make it a hat-trick of victories over the Banker!"

Noel's only trying to get more positiveness into the players, we don't wanna see The Banker on top form again...

Jo has box 19 today.

Jo is a housewife, and tells Noel that one of her children loves him and thinks he is Santa She says he is fixed to the TV for 45mins whenever the show is on and absolutely loves it.

Jo would like to win enough money to take her brother on holiday as she has never been away on holiday with him. We get to see some of Jo's family photos and she says her husband is travelling down to the studios today, so is going to miss her game

Jo says she would love Noel's job and asks if she can present the show, so Noel allows her to do the show opening piece that he does at the start of every show

Jo now chooses her love god, and says she has a problem as she has chosen the person but it is not the number she wanted! But she goes for it anyway, and today's 'Love God' is Linda with box 13.

Round 1

1 - £15,000 Newbie Michael

2 - £50,000 Amiee

You've got to stop this says Noel

16 - 50p Brian

9 - £50 Eddie

11 - £1,000 Caroline

Banker time

An okay start

Noel tells Jo to answer the phone as she is running the show today She says the Banker sounds angry today! Noel lifts up his toga to show us his shoes and gets a few wolf-whistles from the pligrims

Banker's offer:

£8,000

Jo says

NO DEAL

Round 2

3 - £250 Kim

Kevin next, and Noel says he looks like a really miserable cherub

5 - £10 Kevin

Noel gets Jo to call the break...

Loving this game so far...it has everything! Humour, banter, and the seedings of a powerful game...

It's been great so far, and an all blue round could be a certain

The momentum is on her side. Perhaps a few boxes too soon, especially with the twist this week providing a powerful incentive to play on a bit further and the unlikeliest of big-money gambles paying off still utterly fresh in her mind and hence providing another?

Hopefully she can make the right calls for her board and financial situation, no matter what.

We're back
Last box before the Banker

Noel says everything is going really well apart from Jo wanting his job

20 - £250,000 Yaser

Banker time

YET AGAIN the £250,000 doesn't reach the second phonecall...

Bah!!! The biggies goes early again...May 17th 2011 is calling...

Noel points out the recent trend of the £250,000 leaving the game early and the 1p staying late. The Banker says he likes the story of Jo's son Jack loving the show and watching all the time, and he has a message for him and tells him how Noel looks like Santa with his beard, but also see his wings and Santa is actually dead!!

Banker's offer:

£4,000

Jo says she hasn't got a target. Noel says she is lying as she has a target of his job!

Jo picks Clive next, and Noel starts to tell him to open the box until people start to call out that Jo hasn't answered the question yet! The Banker calls and says Noel is fired!

Jo says

NO DEAL

I was about to say!!!

Round 3

4 - £750 Clive
