Scott's game today.

Noel says he still hasn't recovered from the 2,000th show yesterday. He runs through the prank that was played on him at the start. He says he is convinced that the first male £250,000 winner will be in the next 1,000 shows.

Very quick intro...

Scott has Box 8 today.

Scott Brown is from Doncaster, and is a sign manufacturer and fitter.

Here we go...

Round 1

Box 3 with Mike - £5,000

Box 1 with Viv - £15,000

Box 22 with Angela - £50

Box 21 with Tom - £35,000

Box 20 with Mave - £100,000

Banker time...

Ooh, er, says Noel. Scott says he likes how he has so many blues to hit. Noel mentions how he got revenge on the crew for yesterday by leaving a bath running, causing a flood backstage! The Banker mentions how, when Scott's name was called, two people mentioned the £250,000, and Scott muttered that he was going for it.

Banker's offer:

£10,000 + a pair of wellingtons

Noel says that's one of the highest opening offers we've had for a long time.

Scott says:

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Amazingly generous offer, even the holding offer of £5K would have been generous considering what he took out.

We're back...

Round 2

Noel talks about the flood backstage, and how Scott claims he's going for the £250,000.

Box 5 with Julia - £75,000

This is not going well, says Noel.

Box 6 with Gael - £20,000

Not one of those games, says Noel.

Box 7 with Mandy - 10p

Banker time...

That is more like it, says Noel. The Banker says was impressed by how Scott said he was going for the £250,000 under his breath, rather than out loud.

Banker's offer:

£13,000

What a sum of money for a board like that, says Scott. Calvert says the Banker is scared. Tom says there more of a chance that Scott will hit a blue.

Scott says:

NO DEAL

OMG! That is such a generous offer!

Round 3

What will the next offer be if you take three blues, says Noel.

Box 13 with newbie Lecia - £5

Box 4 with Doogie - £750

Scott picks Mark next, but Noel calls a break first...

Second break at 4:20

Am I watching Channel 4 or Challenge? I have never seen 5-figure offers on such precarious boards!

We're back...

Final box before the Banker...

Box 9 with Mark - 50p

Banker time...

Not even early 2007-era early offers were THAT generous. :O Then again, the banker's been surprisingly generous with his offers in general recently...

Scott says he's feeling real good. The Banker says he's very definitely scared. He says he tries to find people's breaking points, but he thinks Scott's is very high.

Banker's offer:

£22,000

Very very very good offer. Offers have been high only because of what he has been saying about him going for it.

I'd be dealing this very quickly

£22,000?!!!!!!! That's like 287% of the FD!
