Chris's game today.

Noel gives a huge thanks to Candi for yesterday's game, as she said her game made her more confident and able to take risks.

Congratulations, Mr Edmonds, you just took the credit for making a contestant who lost a significant amount of money by gambling against her previously expressed risk preferences happier with risk-taking.

Gee whiz. How much worse can it get?

Chris has box 21.

Chris is from Sussex, and he explains that his mum used to enter lots of competitions, and she won a Lee Westwood signed golf glove, which Chris has with him today. He introduces us to his family in the audience, and says he's currently doing an apprenticeship and has ambitions to go travelling and set up a business.

Here we go...

Round 1

Chris talks about how number 21 is important in his life, and he has box 21.

11 - Katie - £3,000

19 - Kirsty - £75,000

6 - Sharleen - £35,000

"Ooh no", says Noel.

13 - Paul - £100

14 - Mark - £750

Banker time

The banker makes fun of how Chris lives at home rent-free!

Banker's offer:

Dirty tarnished silver spoon

Chris says

NO DEAL

That's a rapidly edited start, which strongly hints at some late-game drama. With two Power 5 hits in the opening round, that could be two or even three nerve-jangling rounds.

Noel calls a break...

First break already and it's only 4:07?!

We're back

Round 2

Noel says Chris has upset the banker as he thinks Chris is a spoilt child who's rolling in money, and Chris says that's not true!

16 - Loz - £500

2 - Debbie - £15,000

10 - James - £10

Banker time

The banker says Noel is Chris's butler, and he says he's jealous of Chris, as he has it in him to be a loose cannon.

Banker's offer:

£11,000

Chris says he wasn't expecting that, and Noel says the banker's trying to tap into "sensible Chris" rather than "loose-cannon Chris". Chris's dad says that's a lot of money, and he could pay him some rent if he dealt.

Chris says

NO DEAL

Round 3

20 - Rich - 50p

8 - Wayne - £50,000

Noel calls a break...

Who needs NBC-style internal spoilers when you have this timing in the edit? Back in thirty for the box opening...

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Chris puts on his Lee Westwood signed golf glove for luck!

3 - Danielle - £5,000

Banker time

The banker says he still sees Chris as two people.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

Chris says he agrees with the banker that his sensible side is currently battling with his gambler side. He asks his family in the audience and they say he could do a lot with the money.

Chris says

NO DEAL

Round 4

Noel says it's good that Chris ignored the banker's taunts at the start of the game.

18 - Keith - £100,000

12 - Nyomi - £50

17 - Gurpal - £20,000

Banker time

Chris admits there are two parts of him that want to play different ways, and he describes the conservative approach as "sensible".

He turns down the 11-box offer and there's 35 minutes on the clock. The only question now is not how he plays this game, but why he plays the way he does... an eight-box joke on the one-box game is inked in as one part of why, and clearly we do walk a tightrope for a long time in this one.

Chris says he doesn't know what to think of the board now. The banker says Chris must know the stakes if he carries on, and he quotes the almost 40% chance of taking out the £250k.

Banker's offer:

£7,000
