Rita's game today.

Noel says there is a new theme running through the show now, and it's luck and bravery. The luck of the banker, and the bravery of the contestants.

Banker offers

£7,000 + 10lbs of bacon

That'll take some thought says Rita, and Noel replies yes, especially with your love of bacon. Rita gets confused with the way Noel has written the offer down and she thinks it's £7!! Noel tells her to hurry up and the next offer may include sausages!!

Rita says

NO DEAL

Steve next, and he hopes Rita will bring home the bacon!!!

Noel wonders what will happen now... The banker says that a board like this carries a big risk for him...

Banker offers

£16,000

Good offer, worth considering, but I'd still go on.

Rita says she can see many dreams with that offer, and Noel asks if it's a field full of pigs!!! Rita's hubby joins her at the table, and Noel tries to listen in on the conversation. Rita tells Noel that she dreams of hopping on a plane next week and visiting her daughter in Canada, she then whispers to her husband, one more...

Rita says

NO DEAL

Next round

3 - £75,000 Groans as a hole appears in the power 5

14 - £20,000 A few more groans

We are nibbling away at too many reds here says Noel, and he calls a break before the next box...

Hopefully this will be the first show since Craig a week ago yesterday where the player will win more than £10,000!

Interesting that the blue chants seem to have been replaced by cheers!

We're back
Last box before the banker

1 - £35,000 Big groans

Banker time

Ooh dear, that was unfortunate to hit three of the four biggest numbers. Offer might be under £10k now.

There is a huge gap in the board now says Noel, and the banker will be feasting on the isolation of the £250,000. The banker says WOW and that round blew the game apart.

Banker offers

£7,500
