Barbara's game today.

Barbara has box 19 today

We get to see a few of barbara's piccies of her friends and grand children. Barbara has her husband Sid in the audience for support today, she says she likes a little flutter.

Here we go.............

good luck Barbara

Barbara gives a little power speech to the audience before her game.

Round 1

10 - 1p Another perfect start

20 - £1

1 - £35,000 greeted with 'oooohs'

2 - 10p

12 - £10,000 a few more 'oooohs'

Banker time....

Noel asks Barbara if she is playing an act, she says no this is her....

Banker offers

£10,000

A strong start, the banker taking her seriously with the first offer. Looks good so far.

17 boxes left

Average: £30,627
Offer: £10,000
Offer (%): 32.65

2 box median: £10,004
Fair deal: £11,505

Risk of collapse: 40%

Barbara says that is a really good offer and then says that they haven't seen anyone walk on the first offer yet......

Barbara says

NO DEAL

DOND'S first owl

lol


Good start

Next round

18 - £500

4 - £50,000 loads of 'ooooohs'

Barbara chooses box 17 but Noel calls a break....

Blimey, so many people seem to have taken out 1p in the first box lately! Hardly anyone does the opposite.

Poor old Khanny is never going to play...but I don't care, because Barbara is fantastic. I think she'll probably deal quite early, but hopefully it'll be for a great amount.

We're back

Last box before the banker and the audience are nice and loud......

17 - £75,000 "OOOOHHHSSS'

Banker time.....

Banker offers

£7,500

Barbara goes to her husband Sid who says there is at least one more round and to go on.....

Barbara says

NO DEAL

I guess the offer will be halved... £7,500 isn't a large drop.

I'm a bit concerned that she is unwilling to gamble, and will deal early. But if she's happy with taking the money, I'm happy.

14 boxes left

Average: £28,226
Offer: £7,500 (highest £10,000)

Next round

Barbara asks everyone to help turn this game around

3 - £100

9 - £20,000 more 'ooohhs' followed by silence.....

22 - £250 cheers and applause

Banker time......

Banker is a little unsure of the game and Barbara at the moment....

Banker offers

£13,000

A second guess is £15,000... £13,000 might be slightly too low. I would personally play on, as there are good expectations in doing so, but I can see that they want the money for good reasons.

11 boxes left

Average: £34,074
Offer: £13,000 (highest £13,000)

Highest future average: £44,227 (8 boxes left)
Risk of collapse: 51%

Noel goes to Sid again who says it's a good offer but also a good board with still the 2 highest amounts in play, he says to go on..... Barbara says OK then goes back to Sid and says 'are you sure!!!' then calls Sid down for a little chat about it while Noel goes for a sweep of the wings of the female contestants who say NO DEAL....

Barbara is a little worried about losing 1 or both of the big values, as she won't get a chance to sit in the chair again - unless she takes it home with her

Barbara says

DEAL

That produced a few shocked reactions from the audience......
