Carrie's game today.

Noel says, at the start of yesterday's game, he mentioned how the big money has been coming to the table, but he feels bad now after Mev won 1p yesterday.

I hope Marty doesn't end up being a terror on the forum when he turns 13.

Carrie has Box 17 today.

Carrie Loch is from Northern Ireland, and works for a drinks firm. She talks about how she ended up in her current job. Her boyfriend Nick is in the audience for support. Carrie says she is pregnant at the moment. She has a picture of her son Marty, who has aspergers syndrome, and is a huge fan of DoND; Noel says the show should be dedicated to him!

Here we go...

Round 1

Carrie says 'Hello' to everyone. She is saving Boxes 4 and 8 to the end.

Box 1 with newbie Charlotte - £10

Box 19 with David - £50,000

That's a shame, says Noel.

Box 2 with Jake - £250,000

That is a terrible blow, says Noel.

Chan next, and some more banter about how he was found outside Pat's room! Chan says he thought he saw the Banker at the bar yesterday night, and he was sucking his thumb a lot!

Box 16 with Chan - £35,000

What's going on here, says Noel.

Box 22 with Jo - 50p

Banker time...

Incredibly, that's not low enough, says Noel. The Banker says he can't stop sucking his thumb, and admits it's a bad habit. He says 'Hello' to Carrie's son Marty.

Banker's offer:

£1,017

That's a very decent offer as three of the power five went.

At least I got offered some money, says Carrie.

Carrie says:

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Oh dear another horrible opening.

We're back...

Round 2

Noel says it was a terrible opening round, so things can only get better. He says Carrie wants a tummy tuck after she gives birth!

Donna next, and the doughnut banter is back!

Box 7 with Donna - £3,000

Box 12 with Teresa - 10p

Box 8 with Franca - £50

Banker time...

We're happy with that, says Noel. The Banker points out that Carrie just opened one of the numbers she was keeping, and Noel didn't point it out, just like in Betty's game!

Banker's offer:

£5,017

That's more like it, says Carrie.

Carrie says:

NO DEAL

They really do milk the 1p now.

By the way, the £3,600 was a small underestimate of the price of a tummy tuck, apparently. £5,017 would be just enough though!

Round 3

Box 13 with Zeny - 1p

Now you are back in this game, says Noel. Carrie says she shouldn't get too carried away.

Carrie asks Mike to make sure she doesn't pick his box, as it is her other special number. Mike says he'd have punished Noel for letting Carrie pick her other one! The Banker calls, and gets Mike to elaborate; Mike says he'd take Noel's shoes away!

Box 18 with Sue - £10,000

That's a tricky one, says Noel.

Noel calls a break...

What's with the tune on the 1p reveal?

Must say, I do like the look of Charlotte


And with the aforementioned 'milking' of the 1p, how absurd are they willing to go with it ? Throwing a party when it's revealed on a 1p/10p/50p 3-box ??

We're back...

Noel says Carrie describes herself as 'scatty, and indecisive'.

Final box before the Banker...

Carrie says it's easy to lose track when you play the game.

Pat next, and some witch laughter!

Box 14 with Pat - £500

Banker time...

I think we're feeling good about that, says Noel. The Banker shows a video of Noel's favourite shoes being stolen from his wardrobe!

Banker's offer:

£8,517

Zeny says, if Carrie is careful, there could be another round in it. Mike says a game can turn around very quickly, and he doesn't want it to happen to her. Noel says it is difficult to make a third offer deal work, but some have made it do so. Carrie says she's seen many games go wrong from this point, and it's very difficult to play the game for real, as it's real money. Noel says Carrie is doing well not to be influenced by Mev's game.

Carrie says:

NO DEAL

There's enough stability to turn this down.

Good to see Noel balancing out his "third offer Deals go wrong" spiel. Even though this is, indeed, a third offer Deal that I'd expect to go wrong, were Carrie to take it. Which, of course, she doesn't.

Noel calls a break...
