Cindi's game today.

Noel says he should be used to everything by now, but he says there are still patterns and eras where the £250k dominates the game or the 1p dominates the game. He says the latest spooky pattern is that several players recently have knocked out the £250k immediately box after 8-box.

Had the £250k yesterday. Hopefully a second Banker Spanking in a row.

Cindi has box 5.

Cindi says she left school with no qualifications, and ended up going into hairdressing. She then did a 3-year degree to become a paediatric nurse, and Noel says that's a fantastic achievement. We get to see a photo of Cindi with her five daughters, and she shows a pic of her when she was a baby! Cindi's boyfriend is in the audience today.

Here we go...

Round 1

Cindi says she knew she'd be playing today as she had box 5, and she talks about how this month has 5 Friday, Saturdays and Sundays, and that's a rare occurrence known as "money bags"!

20 - Loz - £5

6 - Debbie - £100

13 - Vinny - £35,000

7 - Candi - £1,000

2 - Jie - £250

Banker time

Jie is absolutely stunning, I hadn't really noticed that before but her eyes are beautiful

The banker says there's nothing special about Cindi, nothing special about the game and nothing special about July, even though the occurrence only happens once every 823 years!

Banker's offer:

£823

Cindi says

NO DEAL


Noel calls a break...

Unlikely given the curse of having the £250k the day before being picked. Good joke offer for starters. Was she read as being an early dealer? Still we are off to a flying start with a quickie 17 box. With her novel superstition the game has got legs...

I was thinking the offer would be £5,823 or £8,230 or something that had £823 in it.
But to offer just £823? Talk about a JOKE offer!

If I had been in that position I'd have asked for the box swap!I'm choosing box 15

We're back

Round 2

3 - Glenda - £10,000

12 - Alphonso - £750

19 - Jacky - £5,000

Jacky talks to Noel about her funeral plans!

Banker time

The banker says he thinks newbie Rich is an opera singer who was on the X Factor.

Banker's offer:

£5,000

Noel talks about how symmetrical the board is.

Cindi says

NO DEAL

Round 3

15 - Becky - £250,000

4 - Brenda - 50p

Noel calls a break...

Let's hope the 1p goes to balance it again

£5,000?! What an appalling offer! The offer is 35% of the FD and 14% of the average and everyone APPLAUDS that?!

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Noel says Cindi is feeling quite uptight.

14 - Andrew - £500

Banker time

Cindi talks about her mother's belief that you always have to work for what you get. Cindi says she'd like to help her dad out, who has had MS for many years, and also has bowel cancer now. Cindi says she can't really read the board, and asks for advice, and she's told there's another round in it.

Cindi says

NO DEAL

Round 4

10 - Boo - £20,000

9 - Roman - £50,000

11 - Boniface - £10
