She showed her hand at 11box. The banker was true in trying to get her 'cheap'. I think the ten thousand pounds, as Noel would put it, was aimed just low enough to avoid a tempting deal.

Quite honestly I'd like to see if that stone works again or will she crush it to dust. If she dodges £100k/£75k this round I'd expect to see £20k offer and a deal.

Then people should really keep quiet about what they want. She shouldn't have said a woodland wedding is cheaper.

We're back...

Round 5

16 - Scott - £100,000

5 - Leony - 10p

13 - Kelly - £100

Banker time...

Wow. I loved the build up to the opening of box 16. Noel was almost finished with his scripted verse and she appears to change her mind. The look on his face (whether acting or not) was priceless.

One blue at five box

Offer should be £17k but the Banker is tight.

The Banker says it's time to get his wallet out.

Banker's offer:

£17,000

Well, he's just offered that!

Very good offer...though worth another round due to that one blue

Paddy reminds Rachel that big money is due to come to the table. Rachel says she has a feeling but it's a lot of money to turn down. Justin says that Rachel has had box 4 four times now.

Rachel says:

DEAL

The clock says deal. Could this be the Power5 OBW I was talking of yesterday or not!

Noel wonders if the mega money drought has continued.

Round 6 - Proveout

17 - Irene - £35,000

22 - Kelvin - £10

Rachel thinks she has the £75,000 in her box (It's only come to the table twice this year...)

21 - Dot - £20,000

No eye rolling from me over this Deal. It was only slightly cautious by statistical standards, and a sensible decision by recent game standards.

Noel opens Rachel's box 4 and reveals £3,000.

Box 20 with Cindy contains the £75,000.

The Banker calls and congratulates Rachel on her winnings and then allows James to return!

Where are the Power 5s these days?!

And the drought goes on! When will it end?!

Sensible decision though.

phew
