Zoe's game today.

Noel gets the tissues out and says he's got a cold, but he never misses a show. He then gets the crew to bring him out his lozenges, capsules and fruit. Noel says he got too close to one of the contestants, and it was David, and then David starts laughing like a donkey.

Zoe has box 2.

Zoe is a student and a part-time sales assistant in a health shop. She enjoys knitting and has a mascot with her that she's knitted! She also has a red scarf for Noel and a blue scarf for the banker. We get to see a photo of Zoe's niece, and a pic of Zoe when she had her head shaved for charity. Zoe also shows a photo of her with her boyfriend. Zoe says she has 19 animals, including dogs, guinea pigs and rats! We get to see a photo of the rats when they were babies.

Here we go...

I'm sure Noel's intros are getting weirder and less about yesterday's game.

Round 1

Nicola says she lived with someone once who owned rats.

3 - Nicola - £100

Toni starts to talk about animals and Noel says it's not Noel's Ark.

£9,250

Zoe says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Seconded.




Even Richard Whiteley's unfunniest puns were funnier than that...

If you're going to do the Tulips from Hamster Jam joke, then you need to do it properly.

Lol about the day of the week pun!

We're back

Round 2

Noel talks about rats and how going into business selling rats would be a good idea, and that if all the crew did it, Bristol would become a Boomtown.

Zoe asks to see Tristan's toe, and he takes his socks off. He says he has the day of the week on his sock and it's Thursday today, and Noel says no it's Monday. Noel says his toe looks really ugly, and then Tristan says that's his better foot! The banker rings and says he'll pay money for Tristan not to take his other shoe off, and Noel then gets rid of the Thursday sock as it's not Thursday.

12 - Tristan - £1,000

We see Tristan's sock in the bush outside.

5 - Steven - £250,000

The banker rings and gloats!

10 - Rachael - £500

Round 4

13 - Elaine - £10,000

The banker rings and says the pilgrims have concluded this game will be a disaster.

17 - Cat - 50p

21 - Wayne - £20,000

Banker time

Yes I agree with the banker. The atmosphere changed to be very downbeat after the reveal of the £100k. or was it Noels shocking joke about socks and vile ants.

The banker says this is a genuinely difficult board and he wouldn't want to be playing with it. He talks about how Zoe raised £452 for charity when she shaved her head.

Banker's offer:

£7,452
