Noel says that you can tell by Jade's body language that she wasn't totally comfortable with that decision.


Noel calls a break....

Which, by the way, is a good reason for taking the safe option, Mr Edmonds. Oh, and it couldn't possibly be because of the pressure the show exerts on contestants to gamble a little further than they otherwise would, which you all too often exemplify.

Would love a crash here. What we'll probably get is a horrible endgame twist along the lines of "four shots at the catapult, double or nothing, Deal or No Deal?".

We're back

Noel says that offer and decision and has totally spilt the Dream Factory

Round 5 - Proveout round

14 - £75,000 Fred

Ohhh imagine if she had gone on says Noel

20 - £10 Danielle

15 - £250 Gurpal

Banker time

Oh dear, dear, dear, dear says Noel. The Banker says that he thinks Jade would be scared here, and Jade says that she would have dealt whatever this would be!

Banker's offer would've been:

£9,000

I'm guessing the catapult will come into play with some sort of double-or-nothing thing...

Wow, they actually want a feelgood game today. Blinkin' hell.

At which point the show really does become like The Cube. Possibly with a Trial Run

Round 6 - Proveout round

Jade asks if she could have a go at the catapult as she would have really liked to have 1 go at it. The Banker calls and says that she can't as she took the last offer. The Banker then says he will think about it.

16 - £3,000 Candi

9 - £100 Paul

18 - £250,000 Keith

Banker time with £1 and £50 remaining

And Noel even has grey hair! At least, he does for this week...

Noel opens Jade's box 22 and reveals £1

Sharleeen with box 8 contains the £50

There's ten minutes on the clock. The Banker is frantically tweeting. I think we all know how this is going to end.

Now that offer is very worth taking. Hopefully she will get it in.

The Banker calls and will let Jade have a go on the catapult, but there are some T & Cs. Jade says she would like 2 goes, and the Banker says that will cost her £1,000. If she misses she goes home with £10,000, but if she gets 1 in then she goes home with £20,000. He will allow her have 1 practice shot as well.

Lol. There we go. Not quite double-or-nothing, more 182%-or-82%.

Andrew asks if he is allowed to go over and give Jade some advice and he is allowed.

Jade has her practice go and nearly gets it in, but does MISS

Set up to make her play, that's for sure. Which is not exactly news. Mind you, the players are 0/13 so far on this.

Jade decides to give back £1,000 and have 2 shots.

Jade's first shot misses. The shot hits the bin but doesn't go in.

Jade's second shot misses.

182% or 91%, h2005

And they're 0/16 now. Excellently done by the Banker to save another grand. That's the closest we've seen yet to the nasty forum suggestions of "make the players lose money if they Deal too soon", isn't it?

Oh. I thought she dropped to £9k but apparently it was £10k. So 182%-or-91%.

But now it's 182%-or-91%-or-something-else-depending-on-how-the-banker-feels.
