Mary's game today.

Noel says there are some games that leave people saying that was exciting, and others that can leave people depressed, and then there are others that leave people frustrated, and yesterday's game with Chris was just that, as Chris left at the 3rd offer, and more often than not there is more in the game, and it was more so with Chris's game as he had a safe board. Noel tells everyone to play the board and what they see, and not leave everyone frustrated.

Hopefully she will have more sense and go for it and what will be, will be.

I can see this is going to be a very long and slow game....

Mary has box 14 today.

Mary says she has been watching the show for over 6 years and every day she had been saying 'I wish that was me' and now it is. Mary is very excited about being on the show and Noel struggles to get a word in. We get to see a photo of Mary's grandson, and she says it was him who put her forward for the show. Mary has a small box with a good luck wish from her grandson, and also a lucky £2 coin that was given to her.


Here we go...

10 minutes in the game, and the first round would have now been completed...

BANG, second box £250,000. Probably wouldn't have won it anyhow...

Round 1

Mary says this is great and she won't sleep tonight.

1 - £10,000 Wayne

'What did you do that for' asks Mary

18 - £250,000 Dave

That's just terrible says Mary

19 - £10 Aaron

2 - 50p Pauline

Mary keeps trying to start blue chants

3 - 10p Darren

Banker time

Nice recovery after the £250,000 going. But I wish she would focus on the game a bit more.

Mary has to double check that was 5 boxes, as she thinks it is all going too quickly. The Banker says that he has said for years they should have introduced random drug testing for the contestants.

Banker's offer:

£4,750

Mary says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Not finding this game interesting at all...

We're back

Round 2

Mary picks Fred next and asks him if he has the 1p, Fred says he can hear her and will have a look in his box!

17 - £75,000 Fred

Noel says he used to have nightmares working with Mr Blobby, but somehow today is eclipsing that!

16 - £50 Dot

Mary says that Noel is quiet today

20 - £3,000 Ali

Banker time

The third round would have now been starting. Not taking the game seriously. The most boring game in a while.

Noel asks the Banker if he could come and have a cup of tea with him

Banker's offer:

£4,000

Can't Noel gag her and make her write down which boxes she wants to open?

I've only been dipping in and out but the noises she's making are driving me mad. I feel sorry for those of you who are going to watch every second of this.

Mary says

NO DEAL

This woman is getting on my nerves.

I just had a quick look at Digital Spy. Don't think I need to say what the view on this is over there.

She's mad as a box of frogs, this one, but I'm really enjoying it.

Are there any stats about how many times the QM has been revealed in a certain box and then that box has come to the table the next day? I keep seeing that happening, think 14 had the QM yesterday....

Round 3

Mary has another attempt at a blue chant

15 - £250 Newbie Tash

13 - £1 Lee

Noel calls another break....
