Zoe's game today.

Noel tells us about some of the current players, including how Caroline who wants a micro pig, Debs wants to be on Loose Women and Eric dreams of remembering where he lives!

Zoe has box 10.

Zoe explains that her surname is Cocaine! Noel makes jokes about the problems she must have at airport security. She says she's a type of chiropractor and she talks about it. Noel says Zoe suffered from functional seizures as a result of a mini stroke, but now she's overcome it. We get to see some pics of her family, including her mum who's in the audience today.

Here we go....

Round 1

Hazel now, and they talk about how she's had some big values lately.

6 - Hazel - £500

1 - Aimee - £750

2 - Huddy - £20,000

22 - Kristi - £50

17 - Jessica - £10,000

Banker time

Decent enough start.

The banker says he has a slight body ailment and he could do with a rub from Zoe as he's a bit stiff. He says he's familiar with Zoe's surname as he knew a guy called Cocaine at school, who was in Class A.

Banker's offer:

£9,000 + a single red rose

Round One Stats

Mean: £31,433.33
Median: £1,000
Absolute Balance: -2
Significant Balance: 10/17, 0
Fair Deal: £11,382.28
Volatility: 0.88

Despite what the Absolute Balance suggests, that was a pretty good opening round.

Also, that's the 4th time Hazel's had £500.

Zoe says that's really good.

Zoe says NO DEAL

Hi

Does anyone think Zoe looks like Nicola Stapleton?

Thanks
Dan

Round 2

11 - Eric - £15,000

4 - newbie Shahid - £35,000

Noel says this is looking interesting, and he gets Zoe to call a break.

Just Googled Nicola as I'd never heard of her - no Zoe doesn't look like Nicola

No box opening jokes from Noel thankfully when Shahid opened his box (he seems to have some sort of artificial right hand). Would have been nice to know a bit more about him today but I guess there's plenty of games for that.

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Noel makes more jokes about Zoe's surname. Zoe says she's single but there's no room for the banker!

12 - Debs - £250,000

Banker time

Not again!

Round Two Stats

Mean: £16,740.07
Median: £175
Absolute Balance: -25
Significant Balance: 5/14, -5
Fair Deal: £5,144.32
Volatility: 0.74

OK, this is starting to get worrying now...

3 box game at the 2nd offer with no backup and the bottom 6 in play. Not looking so good now.

The banker says he's heart-broken as Zoe doesn't want him, but he's delighted the £250k has gone! Noel compares the banker to the dog from the insurance ads.

Banker's offer:

£1,000

Zoe says NO DEAL

Round 3

5 - Ruth - £10

15 - Michael - £75,000

BIG groans for that one.

Eddie now, and he says he's nervous as he wants the game to go well.

3 - Eddie - £3,000

Banker time

This could be one of those horrible games where the first offer is the largest. I hope not though.

Round Three Stats

Mean: £14,214.24
Median: £100
Absolute Balance: -30
Significant Balance: 3/11, -6
Fair Deal: £3,735.86
Volatility: 1.77

All of the banker's power five are still there... This is not good at all.
