Emily's game today.

Noel talks about Ray's game yesterday and how it was all about the swap at the end of his game, and refers back to Zaid's game where they had the exact same finish but Zaid swapped and lost out on the £15,000, but Ray was offered the swap at the end twice by the Banker but refused it and went home with £15,000

Emily has box 4 today.

Emily is a hotel manageress. She has her fiance in the audience for support today, and Noel says that he wasn't really up to Emily's spec as he is the exact opposite of the type of person she thought she was looking for! Her fiance tells us how he proposed.

We get to see some of Emily's family pics, and Emily talks about her mum who is now in 24hr care as she suffers from Alzheimer's.

Emily doesn't really have a system, but has some numbers she will keep to the end.

Here we go...

hate it wen the big 1 goes straight away

Round 1

Emily's first 4 numbers are the smallest rooms in her hotel that she works in

19 - £250,000 Brendan

12 - £50 Fran

15 - £50,000 Jonny

18 - £500 Emma

10 - £100,000 Sharon

Banker time

blimming heck mun

That is one of the worst opening rounds this year says Noel. The Banker thanks Emily as he says the whole show has been great for him so far.

Banker's offer:

£95

Emily says

NO DEAL

Round 2

16 - 50p Natalie

9 - £75,000 Kelly

Oh god says Emily. Cookie shouts out that Ray turned his game around. Noel calls a break...

We're back
Last box before the Banker

Noel says Emily is feeling bruised and battered at the moment.

2 - £10 Andy G

Banker time

The Banker says that Emily is handling herself very well at the moment. He then talks about Nicky Tucker who never got an offer over £250!

Banker's offer:

£95.50

Emily says

NO DEAL

She's doing a pattern of Power 5 / blue / Power 5 / blue (etc.) at the moment. Rather strange game really.

Round 3

22 - £10,000 Craig

That is a big number to go in this game says Noel

13 - £5,000 Paul

5 - £750 Newbie De

Banker time

Noel hasn't got a clue what the Banker will do now, and asks Natalie what she thinks the offer will be, and she thinks around £250. The Banker says he is impressed with Natalie and her reading of the game.

Banker's offer:

£249.99

I can imagine newbie De living in a small cottage in the Surrey countryside, wearing a straw hat in the summer and frequently painting watercolours of the view from her window.

I bet she actually lives at the top of a high-rise apartment block in Hackney.

Emily talks about when she applied for the show she never really was interested in winning the big sums money and she had always thought about winning something in the red block she has remaining

Emily says

NO DEAL

Noel just said Emily's taking her game better than Nikki Tucker took hers - but Nikki was alright about it wasn't she? I know it was ages ago now, but I seem to remember her laughing about it.

Round 4

20 - 1p Mo

Emily says that she prepared a 1p dance with Mo, and they then go in front of the game board and perform it

3 - £1,000 Cookie

Noel calls another break...

Nikki was OK until towards the end when she started to wobble (by this stage, she had eliminated all the reds)

An introduction that seems to boil down to 'don't swap', there. Blue on the table today then.

Amusing opening system, but a catastrophic opening round, one of the worst ever. Joke offer... and it gets worse. When was the last time the top four were gone at the first adbreak?

Right. Let's see if this game actually starts, or whether I should just try and get to within 300,000 of Aaron's score on Bejeweled Blitz. OK, it's not starting, the offers are still utterly useless. Bejeweled it is.
