Franca's game today.

Noel talks about Jake's game yesterday, and how Jake faced the challenge of playing after Natalie's disaster on Wednesday; he thinks he handled it well.

Franca has Box 13 today.

Francesca Shaw is from Essex, and is a yoga teacher; she tells of how she got interested in yoga thanks to her father's obsession with it. She has a photo of her with her two daughters, and a lucky necklace, which is meant to help her confidence. Her brother is in the audience for support.

Here we go...

Last game of the month... hopefully a mega spanking.

Round 1

Franca has no system.

Hardik hates odd numbers apparently, and has a thing about not speaking an odd number of sentences!

Box 4 with Hardik - 10p

Always a relief to see a blue in the very first one, says Noel.

Lucia likes headbanging, according to her file. Noel pulls her up on this.

Box 9 with Lucia - £1,000

Box 18 with Jason - £1

Box 8 with Charlotte - £75,000

Noel says Charlotte has developed a habit of having big numbers.

Box 2 with Carla - £3,000

Banker time...

Noel says he thinks Franca got away with that. The Banker says he is a huge yoga fan; he got into it years ago via his dentist. He reels off a series of really bad puns, which get no reaction from the Pilgrims! He keeps telling them until he gets some laughter! He then asks Franca for a yoga demonstration later on, which she agrees to.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

Noel says that's generous considering she took the £75,000 out.

Franca says:

NO DEAL

NO BANKER! I don't want to see Yoga!

First break at 15 minutes past...

The Banker calls, and says Franca will give her yoga demonstration after the break. He also says he has a surprise for Noel.

Noel calls a break...

This game has now become boring... too much messing about.

I had to switch the channel, I did NOT want to watch that nonsense!

It's at that point of the game where we could see another third round deal...

We're back...

Noel is absent to start with. Franca welcomes us to her yoga demonstration. Noel reappears wearing a muscular body-suit and fitness kit! Noel and Franca then perform some basic yoga. Noel deliberately makes it awkward! Noel then produces a banana from under his outfit and eats it! Franca takes it off of him, so he produces some oranges as well!

Round 2

Box 3 with Harrison - £50,000

Noel doesn't want to mention Natalie's game, but she had a similar hole in the right.

Box 11 with Lisa - 50p

Noel takes his socks off to reveal his toenails are painted red and blue!

Box 19 with Kris - £100

Banker time...

Noel resisted the temptation to chastise Jake I see. That gives Franca more latitude to deal early. Judging by the clock, she will use it!

Opening offer very nearly dealable, too. We've seen worse offers taken later.

The Banker says Noel looks like a cross between Chuck Norris and a Teenage Mutant Turtle!

Banker's offer:

£12,500

"That's so much money..." NEVER EVER say that!

Noel runs through Franca's ambitions, including getting a yoga studio in her garage. Some banter about the Banyan tree, which Russ, a gardener, has never heard of.

Franca says:

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Break at 14-box surely indicates an early deal. For goodness sake Channel 4, sort it out!

BTW, the offer was actually £12,500 which is not bad considering the £50k going.

Yep... expect another third round deal.

If next round is an all blue round, he will pitch the offer just right...
