Show 11



Gloria's game today.

Noel welcomes us to this Saturday show! He talks about how Angela's massive gamble went wrong yesterday, but he tells the wings that it shouldn't put them off making the gambles themselves, as that is how we will get a £250,000 winner....we look at the board...



Noel welcomes "Laverne" to the table! Gloria has Box 5 today, and is a 50-year-old funeral director! Thats a cheerful job, says Noel...Gloria talks about how she has been the recent mummy of the group, and how they've taken to calling her "Laverne", because she looks like the 'Scrubs' character...Gloria's son Charlie is in the audience with her today, she says he'll keep her feet on the ground as she knows she'll get out of hand!

We see some pictures of her and her friends...Gloria asked her closest friends for numbers, and she'll get rid of them first....she confirms she chose Box 5 at random

Here we go...

First was her friend Rita, who chose box 9...Dex warns that he always has a large amount when he starts the game, and hopes its third time lucky

9 - £35,000 Dex

He warned you, says Noel

Her friend Alastair chose Box 16....

16 - 1p Mike

3 - 10p Zoe

14 - £100 Mandy

11 - £1 Jonny

Banker time



Another good start, says Noel...Gloria says she'll have to have a word with Rita, who made her pick the £35k! The banker rings and says that this is going to be a long game...

Banker offers

£2,900

Gloria says it's a lovely offer

Gloria says

NO DEAL

Gloria has another friend called Rita, who chose 12...she's not sure if she should go with it, but she does....

12 - £50 Robbie

1 - £500 Maud

This is quite an extraordinary run of blues, says Noel...Gloria chooses Liz and Box 7...Noel says he would usually call a break at this point, but yesterday, it ruined the run of low numbers so he doesn't want it to happen again!

7 - £250 Liz

Noel cheers and says that Angela should thank him...he calls a break before the offer...

Welcome back to Gloria's game

It's banker time



Noel says that it's incredible to find 7 blues in 8 boxes, and Gloria says that she is an incredible woman! The banker rings and says she's not wrong...

Banker offers

£11,500

Gloria claps the offer...Noel says that yesterday, Angela got the highest second offer, and Gloria has gone and beaten it! Gloria says that it's a tempting sum of money, but with 10 reds on the board, there's only one answer she can give....

Gloria says

NO DEAL

Next round...make it 8 blues in a row, says Noel!

8 - £100,000 Gus

The long run of blues ends with a silence...Gloria says that the £250,000 is still there, and the audience clap in support. Two blues will balance the round, says Noel

We're still going by the numbers her friends chose...

13 - 50p Mary-Louise

20 - £20,000 Lucy

Banker time



You suffered a bit with that round, says Noel...Gloria agrees, but says that she still found the lowest amount, and there's a balance of 8-3 on the board. Noel says the banker will be wary of that, but happy of the two huge numbers she located. The banker says its the beginning of the end for Laverne...

Banker offers

£8,700

That's pretty good, says Gloria. She asks her son Charlie, who says that it could get them a nice holiday. Gloria agrees...she asks Melinda who asks if a great holiday and a bit of leftover cash is enough. Gloria says it isn't, and that she has longterm plans for the money.

Gloria says

NO DEAL

This is the last of Gloria's friend's numbers....

6 - £50,000 Gwen

NO says Noel...Gloria tells him to calm down!

2 - £250,000 Liam

Gloria laughs as the £250,000 disappears off the screen....Noel says he really does need to calm down now and calls a break....

Welcome back
Last box before the banker - Noel says we're now feeling positive and we're going to find the £5!

22 - £750 Az

Banker time



Gloria is remaining positive...she says she has a huge sum of money in the £75,000, and then a massive list of backups...Noel says that the banker will punish her for that awful round. The banker says that it's practically game over, and it will be for good when the £75,000 goes in the next round. He says he wants to speak to Gloria's son Charlie!! He comes down from the audience, and talks to the banker, and Charlie says that the banker told him to make sure his mum doesn't let this offer slip away.

Banker offers

£5,000

Charlie remains down with his mum, who asks him what to do. Charlie says that the banker has a point - if the £75,000 goes, then it'll be a fight just to get her that little bit more. Robbie tells Gloria that she has the board stability in the right-top corner, that even if the £75,000 goes, £5,000 isn't too hard to achieve. Gloria thinks that Robbie gives accurate advice...

Gloria says

NO DEAL

Next round...find the £5 or the £10, says Noel

17 - £3,000 Caroline

21 - £10 Soloman

One more...give us an all-red board at 5-box, Noel says...

4 - £5,000 New player Lola

Banker time



Gloria says it was a great round, and Noel agrees that she's now in a much stronger position...the banker rings and says that in every game, there is that offer that is the pivital one, and he believes for Gloria, this is it.

Banker offers

£8,100

Gloria says she was expecting to get back to 5-figures...Charlie tells her to think about it, but he doesn't want to influence her too much...he goes back and takes his seat in the audience so she can think alone. Billy reminds her of the 60% of having more in her box. Gloria says that this is not the pivitol round for her...

Gloria says

NO DEAL

Keep that £75,000 in play now, says Noel...

Gloria asks Tariq for a prediction, he thinks its the £10k or the £15k....

10 - £1,000 Tariq Wrong again, he says

19 - £75,000 Melinda

Gloria laughs again and says that it's okay...she tells a glum-looking Melinda not to blame herself.

You have to find the £5 now, says Noel, we can still avert a disaster! Gloria wants to go with Harrison....

15 - £5 Harrison

Banker time with £10,000 and £15,000 remaining.



The banker says that Gloria is garunteed £10,000 from him, so he's offering the mean exactly!

Banker offers

£12,500

Gloria said that there's "only" £2,500 to lose, and asks for the question!

Gloria says

NO DEAL

Noel hopes we can get that £15,000 so she can conclusively beat the banker!

Noel opens box 5 and reveals £10,000

Billy opens box 18 and reveals the location of the £15,000

Gloria says she's thrilled with £10,000, and it'll come in very handy. Noel says she's given us a brilliant game, and tells us to watch again tomorrow when another player will try and beat the banker!

111 Gloria - £10,000 - £10,000 - £12,500 - £2,900
