Patrick S' game today.

Noel says that Pamela gave us a great game, as it was a player everyone loved matched with a nice win matched with a banker beating! He says maybe some of the men weren't too happy as her £20,000 win put the women way ahead in the Battle Of The Sexes...he says it's time for one of them to come out and change it. Here's the board...



Patrick S has Box 18 today. Patrick Sutton is 24 years old and is currently unemployed due to recent health issues after a car crash...Patrick says he's okay now, but he had a lot of back difficulties which are nearly recovered, which means he can get back into full-time employment...Noel asks what Patrick would like to spend the money on, and Patrick says he'd like to get a place of his own as he currently lives with his mum in Durham! She - Jayne - is in the audience today to support him, along with his girlfriend Hayley, and his friend Jim...so a lot of support for you today! Noel asks if Patrick has a target...he says he does, and writes it in the book...Patrick talks about how he thinks everyone was a bit cautious of him at the beginning as he looks a bit like a chav, but he thinks he's proved that he's a nice lad....everyone cheers for him!

Noel says he thinks this is going to be a good one...he asks Patrick to confirm he chose Box 18 at random, which he does...Noel wishes him the best of luck!

Here we go...

Patrick decides to start with the newbie...brave, Noel says...

21 - 1p Newbie Vicki

Huge cheers for that - Vicki gets a kiss from Patrick and Noel says it was the perfect start! GET IN, Patrick cries...

10 - £100 Irene

Noel says we've never had an all-blue opening round...

16 - £10,000 Ai-Linh

3 - £75,000 Stanley

4 - £20,000 May

Banker time



Noel says it had a great start, but it trailed off at the end...Patrick says it's not how you finish, it's how you start (: The banker rings and says that if that's the case, he's happy, because the start of this game was lousy!

Banker offers

£990

Patrick says he didn't think it was THAT bad...Noel says it wasn't, and Patrick O says that the banker is playing games with him...

Patrick says

NO DEAL

Next round...Patrick decides to head to the west wing....

6 - £500 Kay

13 - £1 Gabe

Noel says this is looking good...he tells Patrick to persuade everyone to come back after the break, and Patrick says it's been 44 shows and it's about time someone went for that £250,000!

Welcome back

Last box before the next offer...

1 - £750 Brian

All-blue round for Patrick!

Banker time



Noel says that the all-blue round has made it look much better...he asks Patrick what his job was before the car accident, and Patrick says he was working in a fast-food restaurant! He tells Noel he's never going back to it, and he's decided to go back to college and more of an education once he's able to...Noel says that's great, and the banker rings and says enough of the sob story, deal and get out of here!

Banker offers

£9,990

Patrick says it's a great sum of money...he asks his mum who says it could do a great deal for him, but if he's here to play the game, he need to play the game...

Patrick says

NO DEAL

The audience cheer...Noel tells Patrick to try for another all-blue round...

14 - £1,000 Sebastian

2 - £35,000 Millie

Not all red, Noel says!

12 - £5,000 Sebastian

Banker time



Noel says we didn't want that at all, but Patrick points out that they were relatively low reds, and the top two are still in play, and the £50k, and the £15k...the banker rings and says that after an all-red round, including the £35k, really he should go down, or stick...but he's decided to go up now...

Banker offers

£12,000

Patrick looks happy and says he wasn't sure if it would go up or down...he says £12,000 is so much money to him...he asks Scarlett, who says that it's a real thinker, as she knows his personal circumstances...she says sometimes advice from the wings can't help and it has to be up to him...Patrick says it's so hard, and says '1 more?'...Laurence says he thinks he should take the money as we've seen how games can turn...Patrick says his mum will kill him if it all goes wrong! She says she won't, but she asks if he'd be more gutted at dealing and having the £250k in his box, or going on and winning 10p...Patrick says he's scared as he had the £250,000 yesterday...he takes a deep breath and asks for the question

Patrick says

NO DEAL

Noel says he could tell that was hard for Patrick....next round...Patrick says he wants three blues...

15 - £50 Amie

There's one, Noel says...

22 - £5 Peter

There's two, Noel says...he tells to come back after the break to see number three!

Welcome back to Patrick's game...

We're at a very important stage of the game...Patrick says he'll go with the other Patrick now...Patrick O says from one Patrick to another, he wishes him the best of luck

5 - 10p Patrick O

Big cheers

Banker time



What a board, Noel says...Patrick admits he was pretty close to dealing at £12,000...the banker rings and says that if he was that close, he'll offer it again...so it's £12,000...Noel says he wants to give another £12,000 to his mum, so she can finally get rid of him!

Banker offers

£24,000

Patrick looks gobsmacked...he says £24,000 is so much money to him...he says he wants to deal, but he wants to go on at the same time, as he remembers Robbie was offered £40,000 at this point...he says it's so hard...Noel reminds him of what his mum said - is losing out on the £250,000 better than having 10p...Patrick says he thinks he'd be more gutted losing out on the £250,000, as it would change everything forever...he says this is really eating him up inside...he says he knows what he has to do, but he doesn't want to do it...

Patrick says

Applause for that...Patrick says he wanted to go on but £24,000 is too much to let go...he apologizes to everyone, and Noel says he doesn't need to apologize at all, and what he needs to do is find the £250,000 and give us the perfect game!

20 - £3,000 Ally

Not good enough, Noel says...you have two more shots...

9 - £250,000 Sam

Big cheers...Sam gets a handshake from a relieved looking Patrick....

7 - £250 Georgina

NO, Noel says...

Banker time



Noel says it was such a strong board, he doesn't think Patrick's done enough...the banker rings and says that he would have been so shaken at this point, he would have stuck in order to ensure a deal!

Banker would have offered



Noel says we're okay for now...

Final round...Patrick says he can't take his mind off that £100,000....

19 - £10 Scarlett Groans...Patrick starts to look a bit upset...

8 - £15,000 Ashleyne

Not good enough at all, Noel says...he tells Patrick that if this is 50p, it's a complete disaster...

17 - 50p Nikki

Huge groans...Patrick cover his face and Noel says he's blown it...

Banker time with £50,000 and £100,000 remaining



Patrick says he can't believe it...he says he really wanted to go for it...Noel says it's a shame when the board is there, but the courage just isn't...the banker rings and says he would have been terrified at this point!

Banker would have offered



Patrick says he would have no dealt...

So you've lost out on a huge sum, but how huge a sum was it, Noel asks?

Noel opens Box 18 and reveals £50,000

He says it's a small consolation that it wasn't the £100,000 on the table...

Barry opens Box 11 and reveals the £100,000

Patrick says £24,000 is a lot of money to him, and Noel says he's glad they've helped him today, although there was a life changing sum ahead of him if only he'd continued....Noel says this has made the battle of the sexes very close now!

Any readers, let me know where you would have dealt, what you thought of the game, or the overall series. Thanks (:

Probably got £50,000 for the second £24,000 but I doubt that.

Yeah, I think I may have gone at the second £24,000, if not, then £50k

I would've definitely dealt at the 2nd £24,000!
