Michael's game today.

Noel says the introduction to this game is aimed at the cynics who don't believe the contestants get on with each other, and he talks about how this week they have had to go back to the hotel and talk about a 1p and 10p win and it was no surprise that Lisa ran when offered £14,000, although she could have had more.

Michael has box 22 today.

Michael is a youth worker from London. Noel tells the story of how Michael and his partner met, and she is in the audience for support today. Michael hopes to win enough money today to get married, and Noel asks his partner if she would agree to that, and she does. We get to see Michael's family pics at the Sealife Center, and Noel asks how much they paid him for that promotion

Here we go...

Round 1

1 - £10 Alan

14 - £75,000 Jo

13 - 10p Gem

21 - £10,000 Jodie

17 - £15,000 Jean

Banker time

The Banker says it is a pleasure to see Michael and he has been looking forward to playing this game, although he wants to hurry as he has a great day out planned at the Sealife center

Banker's offer:

£5,750

Michael says

NO DEAL

Did Noel just talk about the two early games this week influencing yesterday and not go mental about it? Yay!

Another one for the inadvertent product placement files, there, following a disappointing but not disastrous start. Offer is a bit lower than I'd have expected.

Round 2

3 - £5,000 Paul

18 - £250 Neil

Noel calls a break and gets Michael to do the link...

We're back
Last box before the Banker

Michael says he has 3 plans for playing his game today.

16 - £250,000 Clive

Banker time

I wanted that to stay in says Michael. The Banker said that was a fabulous moment when Michael said to CLive not to break his heart then he revealed the £250,000

Banker's offer:

£1,000

Michael says

NO DEAL

Round 3

7 - £50 David

8 - £750 Steve

Newbie Sonia next and Michael says she is from Barcelona, and Noel says he loves her voice and she is very welcome to the studio

20 - £1,000 Newbie Sonia

Banker time

The Banker says that Sonia has got to him as well, and asks her to say 'Mr Banker you have been a very bad boy'!

Banker's offer:

£7,500

That is a lot of money says Michael.

Michael says

NO DEAL

Round 4

Michael picks Liam but then changes his mind so Noel suggests Harry, Michael then picks Harry and Noel shouts NOO! So Michael changes his mind again.

10 - 1p Juliana

12 - 50p Mikey

This is looking good says Noel, and then he calls a break...

We're back
Last box before the Banker

2 - £20,000 Liam

Banker time

It's a 4-4 8-box which is never bad says Noel.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

Michael turns to his partner who says that is a lot of money, and he says this decision is up to her as she makes all the decisions! Michael says he knows what he is going to do if he plays on as he has the next numbers already picked out. Michael's partner joins him at the pound table, and Michael tells her he really feels he wants to play on. Michael goes to the wings for some advice and is told there is another round in the game. Michael's partner says she will support him whatever he decides and whatever happens. The Banker calls back and tries to help Michael with his decision, and if he takes either the £100,000 or the £50,000 out in the next round the offer will go down, but any other combinations and the offer goes up.

Michael says

NO DEAL

Round 5

4 - £100,000 Harry

6 - £5 Lee

11 - £500 Rosie

Banker time

Noel thinks this will be a tricky decision now.

Banker's offer:

£7,750

Michael talks things over with his partner again, and the Banker then calls and asks to speak to Michael's partner. The Banker says he will increase the offer to £8,000 if she can convince him to leave now.

Banker's offer:

£8,000
