Kingsley's game today.

Noel urges the wings to keep their spirits up after Damien's heartbreaking game yesterday, as he took the three biggest boxes in a single round after an emotional no deal. He says that the Banker laughed at Damien's game so much, he has had a hernia!

Had the £100,000 yesterday. Game before that the £250,000.

Oh dear...

Anyway, I'm very surprised that it's Kingsley today... this is only his 18th show.

In fact, he's the third player this week to do less than 20 shows...

Kingsley has Box 9 today.

Kingsley explains the meaning of his real name, and Noel teases him about it. He was made redundant from his job as a car salesman; Kingsley says he deserved to lose his job, as he was rubbish at it! He says he had an argument with his wife after finding out he'd got on the show! He has a photo of his wife.

Here we go...

Well if anyone was expecting an early Deal after yesterday, they needn't worry, because hogwild is on commentary duties.

Round 1

This is wierd, says Kingsley.

Keith first, and Noel says he reminds him of Trevor McDonald, then gets him to do an impression!

Box 12 with Keith - £10,000

Martin next, and Noel mocks him over how he plays the tuba!

Box 10 with Martin - £5,000

Box 18 with newbie Al - £5

Kingsley says this is scary! Noel shouts 'BOO!' to scare him!

Box 3 with Niko - 1p

Box 14 with Lucy - £75,000

Banker time...

The Banker screams down the phone in pain, as his hernia has got worse now that Kingsley is playing! He says him and Kingsley are quite similar.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

Did think it would be Keith. He for sure is not a Sunday player.

The Banker says this is 'bear money'. He thinks you have what it takes, says Noel. That's real money, says Kingsley.

Kingsley says:

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

The Deal-Eye benchmark at 17-box was £11,887.67. Once again, straight in with offers that are arguably dealable.

Wow, I'm going to hate that phrase. Could he please QUIT saying "bear money" everytime?!
Anyway, £10k is good for a £75k, 2 red, 1 blue round.

FD = £9,592.74

Well, at least he won't have the £425k round now...

We're back...

We've had 'bear money', says Noel, now let's get 'hippo cash'! He then talks about how Kingsley's grandmother has moved back to Nigeria, and how he wants money to allow her to move back to Britain.

Round 2

Box 6 with Eugenia - £3,000

Box 5 with Carly - £100

Jan next, and Kingsley says he'd like to move to Cornwall. Noel engages in more Cornwall talk with her.

Box 15 with Jan - £10

Banker time...

The Banker is having more hernia trouble. He says it is actually 'bare money', not 'bear money'!

Banker's offer:

£15,000

Taking way too long to ask for the question at the second offer!

Benchmark is £15,701.14, and FD is "bear"-ly over £13k... this is dealable for a conservative player who can ignore the stigma, although I can't see it being the top of the game...

Noel runs through what Kingsley would like to do with the money. Phyl says she thinks there's too many reds for Kingsley to stop now, then says she can't see the board!

Kingsley says:

NO DEAL

Wow, I thought that was going to be the first ever second-offer deal!
