Cracking start! Good to see he's concerned if we're already in five figures, but far too early yet - NO DEAL!

5, 22 and 2 please!

And we go on with these three...

Box 5 - £17,750 is one of those backups...

Box 22 - £12! Well, that validates your big earlier risk, because you still have that £196k...

Box 2 - £18,500 completes one of the best all-red rounds you'll ever see, not least because one of them was a disguised blue!

BANKER'S OFFER

£10,000 ON CLASSIC 23 + £10,000 ON YOUR 23

It's an offer that could be worth anything between £4,000 and £50,000! Alternatively...

BANKER'S OFFER

£16,500 FIXED

...you can take a rigid all-cash offer! Two choices to make... question's the same though. You know the one - Deal or No Deal?

The shenanigans have already begun, brilliant! Two good offers to consider though, but there's a way to go just yet - NO DEAL!

19, 9 and 12 please!

Box 19 - £38,500... that's not good, but also it's not quite as painful when it's the highest hit of the game so far!

Box 9 - £1! It also helps when it's followed by that

Box 12 - £66,000! A destabilising round, but can the Banker possibly feel reassured? We might find out here...

The Banker loves the potential disaster chance here, even though he's also nervous about just how much money there is on that board!

He's giving you a choice of two offers again...

BANKER'S OFFER

£18,501 + £5,001 ON YOUR 23

OR

BANKER'S OFFER

£18,501 + £3,500 ON CLASSIC 23

Interesting pairs there! Both guarantee you that £18,501... Deal or No Deal?

Interesting pair, and with a low amount on 23 it's probably better to go for the latter, but either way it's not enough money for me to turn away from at least those two massive sums at the top, NO DEAL!

3, 4 and 21 please!

And we go on!

The Banker rings up to say he will no longer make an offer involving the classic 23. "If you wanted it, you should have chosen it!"

Box 3 - £8,100 is safe...

Box 4 - £196,000 isn't! What a box this is...

Box 21 -

There's terrifying boards, and then there's this.

BANKER'S OFFER

£20,000

Remember, that's a vanilla offer, so that would go on 23 iff you wanted it to.

And then there's this.

BANKER'S OFFER

22-NIGHT NEW ZEALAND HOLIDAY FOR 2 + £10,000 ON 23

That holiday is worth £11,318 courtesy of New Zealand Sky, and you'd be putting £10,000 through that so you'd at least be adding £4,000 in cash...

...or of course you could play on. You are not to be held accountable for any cardiac failures attributable to such a decision.

You know the drill... Deal... or No Deal?

What a choice to make here! Anywhere between £8k and £60k if I put 20 through 23 (which I probably would), or I could take a mammoth holiday package and maybe get another £30k out of it? A 3/8 chance of whacking the biggie out if play on, but a huge upside if I don't... I'll push it one more I thin, NO DEAL...

... and go for 10, 21 and 7 next please!

Three viable courses of action.

You've taken the scariest one.

Good luck. That's all I can say.

Box 10 -


Box 21 went in the last round, so onto 7 -

Good grief... 13...

Box 13 -


Here is your 5-box and the corresponding Banker reaction to it...



So, with that brain-bending response in mind, you know the question... Deal or No Deal?

What a situation to be in... You're definitely barking up the right tree with the former offer there... It's the only one I'm considering if I'm honest, and if you take it out of the context of this game I'm picturing a £17,500 offer on 4 blues/£250k. Would I take that? I'm almost certain I would, and I'm gonna take this as well. DEAL!

Now the weird of emotion of do I actually want to have the biggie on the table? Only in KP's games... 17, 14 and 1 would've been Round 6.

You've got £26,000 and a part-share of your box! And now we're about to find how much that share is actually worth!

Clearly, the nightmare is to leave the jackpot to the end but not have it in 8. So let's just find it, eh?

Box 17 - £250... it's not there...

Box 14 - £10... it's not there either!

Box 1 -

The contents of Box 8...

Purely just to create the oddity in your stats, I hope it's one of the weird ones Option 3 please!

Excellent. I'm glad a bit of sensible play paid off in the end, though the stability of the board fell to bits early on thanks for the game!

I definitely would've dealt the same time as Aaron, though the offer wasn't quite as generous as it felt at first glance. Though it would'be been nearly the mean had the £375k been in Aaron's box, that was only a 20% chance, with the other 80% leading to an anti-climatic Box 23 reveal for peanuts, as we saw.
