Think it would be best to put the last week behind us...

Three people selling the £250,000, two relentless doses of misfortune, bordering on the unairable and an inductee to the 14,000 strong 1p club.

We can only hope that Monday's show will turn things around, and QUICK !


''Fasten your lids...for Deal or No Deal''.


Edmonds comes out onto the studio floor and, unsurprisingly, harks on about Win's game on Saturday. We are treated to a montage of her game. Check it out on 40D if you want, it's fairly watchable.

''It's been here (the £250,000) 4 times in just over a week... he's paid out about £80,000 to save himself over £1,000,000''.

''Take him on... JO'' !

Joanna Armstrong is from Falkirk. She works as an extended duties dental nurse and her job includes going to schools.

She talks about her late husband, who used to love watching Deal or No Deal with her. He sadly died of cancer.

She puts on some fake teeth and makes the people laugh by talking through them. Let's hope we don't see them again.


HERE WE GO... !

''Boxes are just boxes to me''.


Marc (Box 7) - £3,000


'Lovely' Charlotte (Box 6) - £1,000


Chan next, and Noel takes the piss out of him for a bit.


Chan (Box 16) - 1p


Tommy (Box 14) - £35,000


Sue (Box 8 ) - £500

The Banker says that the £250,000 has never come to the table as frequently as 4 times in 10 games. We are treated to a short montage of each time the amount was revealed on the table, starting with Emma and ending with Win.


Opening offer is £8,500


Jo quickly declines this.


Time for a break !

ENOUGH with the doughnut banter!!

We're back !


Noel has a secret about Jo... we will find out about it soon. I'd rather we didn't. Anyway, time for some boxes !


Donna next... more customary doughnut banter. Sickening.


Donna (Box 3) - £50,000


Teresa (Box 12) - £5,000


We hear the secret ! Jo is a burlesque dancer. This means we may see her in action later on. You are advised to switch over when that happens.


Jake (Box 11) - £10

The Banker tells us of what happened the other night... Teresa gave Donna a whole bag of doughnuts. Donna ate every last one. Dear lord.


Ah, the Banker is insinuating at seeing Jo dance later on. Told ya'.

The offer is, once again, £8,500


Jo's ready for the question fairly quickly, ''NO DEAL''.

This is shaping up to be one of the worst broadcasts of all time. Noel and Jo getting comfy isn't very pleasing.


Ben (Box 10) - £100,000


Natalie (Box 20) - £250,000

Natalie has grown ! That, or she's put some heels on. You see, you can't be shorter than the host.


1 in 91 chance of taking the top 2 at that point by the way. Will she take the £75,000 and join the exclusive club of 6 who have taken out the top 3 in live play in a single round ?

Find out after the break !

Tuned in to see the top two go on a dangerous looking board. Surely the £75,000 won't go as well?!

Well, it won't be £8,500 again now.

Another game where the top three in one round

We're back !

Will Jo complete the nightmare round ?


Mike (Box 21) - £75,000

HOLY F*CK ! 1 in 364 disaster round

Oh dear. Seventh player to do that.

Cheesy nibble anyone ?

Jo is the 7th person to do the £425k round in live play. (2 have done it in proveout, Ronnie and Neil).

The offer is A DOUGHNUT. It's one of Donna's doughnuts. She must be gutted to have missed it.


Jo provides some sarcasm and NO DEALS.

Ah, here we go, as predicted. One of the crew brings some feathers for Jo to wear... time for the music !

Burlesque time !


The Banker promises to give Jo the best possible offer after that routine. With a max of £20,000, this still won't be much.


Zeny (Box 4) - £15,000


Mathew (Box 2) - £100


Charlie (Box 15) - ...after the break !

I don't know how the Banker can make generous offers now with £15k gone.
Just 2 reds left!

Yeah, we could see that.

With the average being just over £3,000, I think a generous offer would probably be about £2,500 - £3,000.

We're back !


Charlie (Box 15) - £1

£2,200 is a decent offer on this board, but, at that same time, a low stakes board, so worth a punt. Arguable either way.
