Roop's game today.

Noel says Chloe had a very unlucky game yesterday, but did not go away empty handed thanks to Box 23 and the twist game.

I've got him down as a OHO.

Also, previous game, £20,000

Roop has Box 2.

Roop Singh, from Leeds, a lay priest and story teller. His wife and daughter are in the audience. He tells of how he took up story telling after visiting schools after his children were bullied. He has bought a religious symbol which is his leading light, and a photo depicting his family at Land's End, having just cycled there!

Noel says this is going to be a cracking game.

Here we go...

Judging by his comments on the wings, I REALLY hope Roop keeps the 250k late into the game as he seems like the type that would require generous offers even on a big money board.



And there's a 0% chance he has it again today.

Round 1

Box 16 with Cheryl - £15,000

That was the first box yesterday too, says Noel. Roop says his daughter said she wanted confetti! Noel brings up the chance of Roop winning £500,000!

Box 20 with Dave - £20,000

Not two days in a row, says Noel.

Box 10 with Stephen - £250

Box 3 with Trish - £50,000

What is going on, says Noel.

Box 1 with Rich - £1

Banker time...

Do remember that he did put his light on at £700.

Noel thinks the Banker is in trouble! The Banker doesn't think Roop will go all the way, as he's taking too many reds.

BANKER'S OFFER

£8,000

Roop says it's a very respectful offer.

Roop says:

NO DEAL

Break already?! It's only 4:08

Noel calls a break...

We get today's first plug for the competition.

It looks like the Banker doesn't view him as a huge threat, for if he did he'd probably offer £10,000+.

Still, a VERY early first break. Could Roop be the next player that the Banker underestimates and as a result takes mega-money from him?

I'd be more surprised than usual if his wing remarks were a fake.

We're back...

Round 2

Box 21 with Victoria - £3,000

Box 15 with Giulio - £10

Box 12 with Ruairidh - 10p

Banker time...

Now we may have the game we desperately need after Chloe's game, says Noel. He says it was initially thought Box 23 would be a problem for the players only, but it's proving to be one for the Banker too.

BANKER'S OFFER

£10,000

Rubbish offer

Also very early second offer...

£2k increase for that?!

Noel runs through some of Roop's ambitions for his winnings. No lights on.

Roop says:

NO DEAL

£2,000 is a RUBBISH improvement after that great round. In fact, Deal-Eye thinks that round was worth a £5,000 improvement on the offer. Clearly the Banker thinks that Roop's comments on the wings were lies.

Round 3

Box 14 with Glyn - £50

Box 5 with Louise - £35,000

Roop says it's alright. Noel says this is a complex game, and wonders how Box 23 will impact later on.

Noel calls a break (at 4:15! )...

2nd break at 4:15??!!!!
