Jodi's game today.

Noel wonders if the run of incredible luck will continue, as in the last 3 days £450,000 has come to the table. He says that one of the attractions of Deal is that every game is different, and one of the difficult things is to put out all the previous games from your mind, and that doesn't make it easy to play at the moment.

Hopefully she will have more courage to go for it and it's not a fourth big banker victory in a row.

Jodi has box 21 today.

Jodi is a student studying nursing. Jodi has her mum in the audience for support today. She has a lucky stone with her that she says makes her hand tingle every time she holds it, so Noel goes to the pilgrims to test out if it does for other people, and it does for some. She has a few other stones that have various meanings to help her today. Noel then starts shaking the pound table saying how powerful the stones are. We get to see a family photo.

Here we go...

Round 1

Jodi says she feels like dancing, so Noel says she should start dancing then.

20 - £15,000 Irene

Rich next and Noel says that he works with animals and smells of seals! Rich says that he kisses them as they are the only ones who will kiss him, and Noel feels sorry for him so runs over and kisses him

10 - 10p Rich

13 - £35,000 Chris

5 - £20,000 Brian

Brian nearly throws his box across the wings! Jodi says she doesn't want to pick Snowy as he said if he has the 1p he will lick her face

12 - £75,000 Robbie

Banker time

Noel calls a break before we hear from the Banker

That's odd - can't remember the last time we had that timing of the break.

We're back

Banker time

The Banker says there has been an unbelievable amount of money this week. He asks Brian what he was thinking, and that was possibly the worst box opening of all time. He thinks about throwing Brian out of the studio, but Noel thinks that is mean as Brian does so much for charity, but the Banker says he hates anyone who does things for charity. The Banker goes to the video ref for a verdict on the box opening, and we get to see Brian opening his box again. The video ref decides Brian can stay

Banker's offer:

£6,000

Jodi says

NO DEAL

Round 2

3 - £10 Newbie Casey

17 - £100,000 Wendy

16 - £1 Dale

Banker time

The Banker says that it has been a long time since he has seen this situation with only 2 big amounts remaining.

Banker's offer:

£5,000

Jodi says

NO DEAL

Round 3

1 - £5,000 Greg

15 - £10,000 Cynthia

Noel calls a break and gets Jodi to do the link...

We're back
Last box before the Banker

9 - £250 Renee

Banker time

Jodi asks if she can answer the phone, but Noel says she can't as it is his job. Jodi asks if she can speak to the Banker, and he agrees. He's class says Jodi, and she likes him a lot.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

Noel says that is great that he has gone up with that offer. Jodi goes to her mum for some advice.

Jodi says

NO DEAL

Round 4

4 - £1,000 Snowy

Noel thinks that was a shame as Jodi needs to keep all the reds she can.

22 - £3,000 Guiliana

2 - £500 Michael

Banker time

Does the Banker want a Deal here?

Well, you survived says Noel. The Banker says it is a fascinating configuration, and this will be a tough decision now for Jodi.

Banker's offer:

£13,000

In answer to my question above: "Possibly."

That's a disappointing increase for keeping the top two on such a dangerous board, but not drastically so. Arguable either way.

Jodi's mum says that is a fantastic sum of money. Jodi says that she has a little friend who is her mum's friend's son, and he is 9, and he always says that as long as the £250,000 is in play then to keep playing. The Banker says he respects the positivity of the 9yo boy, but kids eat mud. Jodi gets some advice some the wings. She then talks about how she has played DoND at home and everyone else was dealing, but she played on and was left with the same top 2 amounts that she has now.

Jodi says

DEAL
