Alma's game today.

Noel is trying to zissss things up after Sidney's game went horribly wrong later in his game after he revealed his shopping list, and it took over his game, Noel tells everyone to concentrate on the state of the board and where the game is going rather than concentrating on what you want to do with the money.

Wow, they're certainly keeping Laura waiting...

Alma has box 13 today.

Alma puts her box on the table the wrong way around and Noel has to slap her hand as she says she has made a bloody mistake! Noel forgives Alma as she is on medication at the moment, well she isn't, but her husband is and she had a headache the other day and took one her husband's painkillers by mistake thinking they were paracetamol and it knocked her out for about 2 days! Alma talks about when she was younger and carried bets around for her dad. Noel asks if Alma would like something to drink during her game, and she asks for a glass of Shiraz! Noel says that he can't do that and offers a cup of tea. Alma has her granddaughter in the audience for support today.


Here we go...

Round 1

6 - 1p Kirtsy

22 - £250 David

11 - £35,000 Chris

14 - £100 Carlos

1 - £20,000 Jackie

Banker time

Noel tells the Banker that he really likes Alma. The Banker thanks Alma for her honesty over her weight and saying it is because she is lazy. He says he has been a bit nervous about Alma's game as he thinks she has a big gambling streak in her.

Banker's offer:

£12,000

Alma says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

If it is her tomorrow then hopefully she will have a low amount today

Amazingly, that opening round featured four of the five amounts that Sidney had at 5-box...

We're back

Alma says she would love to go to the USA as she has found cousins over there that she never knew she had.

Round 2

Alma has to put her glasses on as she thinks Jess has box 19, but it is actually box 9.

9 - £50 Jess

19 - £3,000 Donna

Alma notices that 3 boxes at the end of a row are all divisible by 5, and then Noel confuses everything by throwing 3 into the mix!

10 - £50,000 Damien

Banker time

There is a big hole on the right now says Noel.

Banker's offer:

£15,000

That is a wonderful offer says Alma, and she goes to David for some advice, and he would play on here.

Alma says

NO DEAL

That was quick...

I would not be surprised if Deal-Eye took that. I'd not think less of anyone who actually did take it, but I think there's room to chase a little further. And it might only need to be the one round with the recent 11-box generosity.

Round 3

4 - £750 Zoe

Alma says she doesn't have a feeling for numbers, but 3 has cropped up a lot in her life.

12 - £10,000 Carly

Noel calls another break and gets Alma to do the link...

At 12-box:


10p
50p
£1
£5
£10



£500

£1,000

£5,000

£15,000



£75,000
£100,000
£250,000

So already this game is relying quite heavily on those three big amounts at the bottom-right hand corner...

Well, we will have to wait a while to find that out for sure, owing to the bereavement in StatsMan's family.

If this is £15,000 downwards, this will almost certainly be an offer I'd take.

We're back
Last box before the Banker

2 - £1,000 Keith

Banker time

Hopefully she will continue as the top three are still in play. But not much of a fallback.

Noel asks Alma to talk about her role at a PTA, and at one meeting she had a bit too much to drink and started striptease, and her husband had to stop her and bundle her into a cupboard! Alma says that none of her family knew about that story until just then! The Banker says that last round did nothing for the board really.

Banker's offer:

£15,000
