Jie's game today.

Noel asks the audience whether old or young players are the best, and most of them think older players are! Noel says we've had a mix of old and young players recently getting the timing both right and wrong, but the older players have had the edge recently, including 2 young players winning 2p between them!

Jie has box 16.

Jie lives in Bristol, but is originally from south China where she was a fashion designer. Jie talks about her life in China, and how she met her husband out there who is English. Her husband isn't here today as he's working, but she has a piece of paper with her with a good-luck message in Chinese that her husband wrote. She also has a soft-toy pig with her which she hopes will bring her good luck. Jie shows a photo of her family, and another pic of her with her husband on their wedding day. She has ambitions to become a recognised fashion designer.

Here we go...

Oh dear, I thought Brenda would finally play

They probably see her as a Sunday player, where as to me she isn't.

She's taken risks in her life both in her occupation and in emigrating - we'll see if she's a risk-taker in this environment. I suspect the producers expected (hoped?) she would be.

Round 1

Jie says the first time she watched the show, she thought Noel was called "No", and wondered if some people were called "Yes"!

6 - Brenda - £15,000

7 - Rich - £3,000

9 - Debbie - £75,000

2 - Andrew - 10p

3 - Becky - £5,000

Banker time

The banker says "hello" in Chinese. He says when he first heard Noel would be hosting the show, he shouted "NOOO, Edmonds!".

Banker's offer:

£5,000

Jie's friends in the audience say it's a very good offer.

Jie says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Oh, not £5,000 again...
I'm really starting to hate this "holding offer" now.

Generic opening offer on a just slightly poor board. Game certainly yet to make its decisive turn.

We're back

Round 2

Noel says Jie has an ambition to take the banker on a tour where he has to visit the big winners from previous shows!

5 - Roman - £1,000

Noel talks to newbie Rosie and she says she's not very interesting! The banker rings and says they choose the most suitable contestants from the auditions, and says Rosie has to be more interesting otherwise she'll be chucked off! So she says she rode an elephant once.

12 - newbie Rosie - 50p

20 - Tony - £250,000

Banker time

The banker says he has no doubt that Jie will have great success as a fashion designer, but not on his money.

Banker's offer:

£2,500

Nice exchange about the auditions. No mention of what makes a contestant suitable

Jie's mother-in-law in the audience says it's a reasonable offer.

Jie says

NO DEAL

Round 3

22 - Vinny - £250

19 - Jacky - £750

Jie says she has no superstitions about number 13, but number 4 is unlucky in China.

Noel gets Jie to call a break...

We're back

Last box before the Banker

13 - Max - £5

Banker time

Jie says that's a lot of money, and her supporters in the audience agree, but they say it's a good board with potential.

Jie says

NO DEAL

Round 4

Noel asks Jie about her family in China, and she says she went out there for a few months last year. She says happy birthday to her dad in Chinese, as it's her birthday today.

11 - Alphonso - £100

17 - Jade - £35,000

21 - Boo - £1

Banker time
