Candice's game today.

Noel says he thinks he is going to have to stop saying every game is different on the show, as there has been some spooky similarity between some recent games, as the big money has been sticking around to the very end. He thinks that Greg thought the good luck had to come to an end soon, and that worried him into an earlier deal than he should have made.

Had the £250,000 yesterday.

Candice has box 17 today.

Candice has her husband in the audience for support today, along with her friend. We see a picture of Candice's dad, gran and granddad. Candice has a lucky rose quartz that her mum has let her borrow.

Here we go...

Wonder when it last happened that we had two consecutive games where the player had the £250k the day before?

Anyway, I think we could do with a relatively quiet game today - no questionable decisions, no feelings about boxes, and no big money blown...

Round 1

22 - £35,000 Stephen

13 - £10,000 Newbie David

7 - £50,000 Alex

16 - £10 Nick

6 - 10p Alma

Banker time

That was good at the end and provided a bit of balance says Noel.

Banker's offer:

£7,000

That is really good for a first offer says Candice.

Candice says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Well, maybe it's really good for the board she has... but she hasn't forgotten that Rich's opening offer was £20k, has she?

We're back

Noel says that one of the pilgrims called Emily thinks that Noel talks to himself on the phone and the Banker doesn't exist, so the Banker calls and asks to speak to her. He then tells her she should dump her boyfriend who is with her in the audience.

Round 2

10 - £1 Sidney (Opened by Stephen)

21 - £20,000 Laura

12 - £75,000 Brian

Banker time

Big hole on the right-hand side now - but, dare I say it, the £250k is still there...

The top 2 are quite exposed says Noel, and he hopes the luck isn't changing. The Banker says these are strange times in the game as the top 2 are still around, even though they are very exposed.

Banker's offer:

£9,500

Noel says it is a great time to be playing, he runs through some of Candice's dreams, and she would like to get her own place, as she shares her time between her parents and boyfriends parents at the moment.

Candice says

NO DEAL

Round 3

Candice would love to be a primary school teacher, but can't afford to do the training at the moment.

9 - £250,000 Jim

11 - £5,000 Kath

Oh no says Noel. Candice says this isn't great, but it isn't that bad as she still has a lot of blues.

Noel calls another break....

This might sound like a ridiculous question... but was there anyone else here who felt some sort of relief when the £250k went?

While still feeling sorry for Candice, of course.

We're back
Last box before the Banker

15 - 1p Gill

Banker time

Thank goodness you did that says Noel. The Banker says he was forgetting what a 1-box game looked like.

Banker's offer:

£3,000

Candice says that £3,000 would do a lot for her. Noel asks Candice's husband about their wedding, and he says that had an icecream truck at the wedding, and Noel thinks that was an excellent idea and a good way to help to pay for the wedding. Candice goes to her friend and husband for advice, and he says he would play on, although he would be in a slightly different position as he would have opened different boxes. Noel says he bows to the prince of hindsight

Candice says

NO DEAL

Round 4

Candice wants a quickie

2 - £750 Imani

14 - £50 Gabbie

4 - £1,000 Chris

Banker time

Well that changed everything very quickly says Noel

Banker's offer:

£6,000

Did she actually take as long as the time between the last two posts suggests to turn down that £3k?!

In that case, it doesn't bode very well if she has the £100k in her box - or, for that matter, if she crashes...
