Jess's game today.

Dr Bankenstein (Noel) says everyone is allowed into his laboratory by invitation only, and they have to adhere to strict rules. He allows us to view some his creations on the wings! He then realises he has a spare brain in a jar, and he talks about how Angela used her brain yesterday to defeat Dr Pettigrew's catapult.

Halloween Catapult twist: If the player gets to 5-box in live play, they can choose to have 4 shots or 2 shots. If they choose 4, and get 1 in, they win a holiday... if they miss, there's no downside. If they choose 2 shots, and get 1 in, they win a holiday AND get to proceed one box at a time... but the downside is that if they miss, the banker looks in their box.

Noel should just do the Italian accent all the time.

Also the theme tune is nightmare-inducing hahaha

Jess has box 6.

We get to see a pic of Jess before she was made up for Halloween. Jess shows a pic of her two dogs who are her life, and then she gets emotional as she shows a pic of her dad who died recently while on holiday. Jess has her "mum 2" in the audience today.

Here we go...

Round 1

15 - John - £75,000

7 - newbie Amy - £50,000

10 - Sam - £15,000

"Oh crumbs", says Noel.

2 - Julie - £1,000

14 - Syrita - £3,000

Banker time

Noel says all-red opening rounds are very unusual. The banker shouts "bingo bingo!" down the phone, as he had a bad start to this week.

Banker's offer:

£500

Jess says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

2% of the mean!
I dread to think how low it would've been with £100k & £250k. £5?

We're back

Round 2

Jess talks about how she'd like to treat her family with any winnings.

16 - Bill - £5

17 - Zoe - £1

11 - Jim - £50

Banker time

Jess says she didn't expect the offer to go up that much, and she says she's never had any money really.

Jess says

NO DEAL

Nice opening insult. Second offer is almost dealable.

Round 3

Jess talks about how she's studying to be a social worker.

18 - Bob - £35,000

9 - George - 50p

Noel calls a break...

Wow, pretty good offer at that point. Didn't expect 5 figures so soon!

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Noel says the game had a shocking start but has made a recovery.

5 - Neville - £750

Banker time

The banker says this is a very balanced board and is almost symmetrical.

Banker's offer:

£13,013

Jess says she didn't think she'd be offered that, and she had a gut feeling it'd be a game where the reds went first. Nick asks Jess if she feels positive, and she says she does, but she talks about having a slice of the cake rather than all the cake. John says Jess could eat a whole cake! Sam says she just has to lose a couple of reds for the board to be decimated. Jess says she could pay off her student debts with that offer, and she could also do other things she wanted to do, and she says she just wants a go on the catapult!

The banker rings and says if Jess deals, he'll definitely let her have a go on the catapult.

Jess says

DEAL

OH dear... another 3rd round deal. I feel it's a big mistake. I feel the reason why she dealt is because of the banker ringing up.

Damn banker! If only the phone didn't ring.

Noel says this will be fascinating, and Jess gets everyone to wish her luck as she hopes she's made the right decision.

Noel calls a break...

Is this the first time that someone's dealt at 11-box during a themed week?
