Damien's game today.

Noel hopes the contestants were paying a lot of attention in Lynn's game yesterday, as the Banker pays them a lot of attention while on the wings, as he picked up that in a couple of games Lynn was very cautious with her advice and adjusted his play, he warns them not to act and be themselves.

Damien has box 5 today.

Damien is a fire station watch manager, and he talks about his role in the fire service and how he is involved in training recruits. Noel asks him about his job and how the crews cope with the waiting for the unknown. Damien shows us a photo of his 2 children, but doesn't have anyone in the audience for support today.

Damien doesn't have any system or strategy, although his boss did tell him to keep box 11 until the end.

Here we go...

Please, please, please... no highly contentious player decisions today...

Incidentally, Damien had the £10,000 yesterday.

Yes, that's classed as a low amount. I only say what they had yesterday from £15,000 onwards.

If he had played yesterday and kept box 11 to the end, then it had the £100,000.

Round 1

Damien thinks the first 3 boxes set the tone for the rest of your game, so he is hoping for a good start.

22 - £750 Keith

9 - £500 Dave

10 - £3,000 Kelly

20 - £5 Joan

8 - £10,000 Lucy

Banker time

And his wish is granted...

The Banker says he is not good with firefighters, and is worried he will have to pay out a lot of money again today.

Banker's offer:

£14,000

Another good opening offer.

Damien says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

By my reckoning, that offer took the banker's top offers (including hyper-offers after the deal) through the £50m mark! Total winnings are around £28.8m, and only 97 contestants have taken home more than the best offer in their game.

£14k?!?!??!?!?

Damien may be a firefighter - but even so...

That is a really good opening offer. Don't often see them that high, but it was a good opening round

£14k is a really good offer for a 3B 2R round. So the Banker hates the Welsh and firefighters?

Well, those 97 would include Laura, Alice, Suzanne and Tegen, as well as all of the £100k winners and certainly most of those who won £75k from their box...

Another wheelchair / handicap player, hope she does well in her game.

We're back

Noel says that on Damien's first shift as a firefighter he slept through an emergency bell!

Round 2

7 - £50 Sam

17 - £15,000 Newbie Eugenia

18 - £35,000 Craig

Banker time

That was a critical box, and it is 4-all now says Noel. The Banker says he has been watching Damien very carefully and he is a good reader of the board, and a lot of his advice has been to no deal.

Banker's offer:

£17,500

Second good offer. This could be another Rich game.

Damien says that just one word gets him £17,000 in the bank and that is incredible.

Damien says

NO DEAL

I really hope Damien doesn't touch the top 4 during this round. Would be nice to see him go away with a decent sum, and hopefully even first male quarter millionaire.
