Dex's game today.

Noel talks about how the banker is on a roll after getting the biggest gambler to sell a £50,000 box for £19,000...he says he doesn't envy today's player, but hopes they can come out and beat the banker! Let's take a look at the board...



Dex has box 2 today. Dexter Cole is a 27-year-old club owner from Essex...Noel says he is a very scary looking man and Dex laughs. Dex talks about his passion for the world of entertainment, he himself does some rapping as a side-job, and also works as a DJ. Noel asks Dex if he could teach him to rap, and Dex says some people are just unteachable! Dex says there's nothing he wants to do specifically with the money, except for maybe do up his club as it's fairly low-key...Noel says that's wanting to do something specifically with the money...Dex laughs and says that a nice wad of cash as security would be nice.

Dex confirms he chose box 2 at random - and as the game is about to begin, Noel says he forget to introduce Dex's friend Kariesha who is in the audience...Noel asks if she's a friend as it says in his file, or a "friend", he says, nudging Dex! Dex keeps quiet about that, but then says they're just friends!

Here we go...

Dex says starting with 1 worked for Billy yesterday, so he'll start with 22...

22 - £10,000 Mike

16 - £50 Liam

21 - £35,000 Lola

8 - £10 Claudia

11 - 10p Caroline

Banker time



That was a smooth opening round, says Noel...Dex says people always describe him as 'smooth' and Noel says the same applies to him! The banker rings and says that he thinks DJ Dex tried to mug him last week! The banker says he's frightened and begs Dex to take his money and not hurt him! Noel says he then became very sinister and said 'only joking'

Banker offers

£2,500

Dex laughs and thanks him for the offer...he thinks about it for a second, and says he's not going to be the first to go at the first offer...

Dex says

NO DEAL

17 - 1p Mandy

Dex shouts out loud and gets the audience to cheer louder, then kisses Mandy...you know how to work the crowd, says Noel

5 - £5 Dylan

Noel says that this is really going well now, he calls a break

Welcome back!
Things are looking good...last box before the offer

6 -£5,000 Liz

That's okay, says Dex...he takes a seat

Banker time



Dex says he's very happy with...what more can you want than the top 4 in play, he says? The banker rings and says that no one on the wings seems to be getting involved today, and thinks it might have something to do with them being hungover...the banker tells Noel about a party at the hotel last night, and how one tee-total contestant had to clean up all the mess! He says thank you to Lola, for doing a wonderful job on it and stopping the contestants from having to spend the bankers money to relocate to a new hotel!

Banker offers

£8,400

That's a very nice sum of money...Dex says he can think of so much he can do with it...he decides to ask Lola as she is the only person who does not drink! She tells him that it's a great board, and she would go on...

Dex says

NO DEAL

Next round...keep it going, says Noel, avoid the top 4...

1 - £750 Soloman

19 - £15,000 Harrison

That's not too bad, says Dex

18 - £500 Maud

Banker time



Noel wants to know what Maud was up to last night! Maud says it wasn't as bad as the banker says it was, and Dex says that's probably just because Maud can't remember it! The banker rings and says that amongst all this banter about the party, a magnificant board is shaping up...

Banker offers

£15,000

Dex instantly asks Kariesha who says that it's his game, and no one would say anything if he dealt at the third offer. Dex says that it's a lot of money to recieve just in one go...he asks a few people on the wings; Melinda tells him not to be foolish and Jonny says that he thinks there's one more round...he says the worst round possible leaves £50,000 up for grabs...

Dex says

NO DEAL

It is a good board!!!! Keep going!!!

Dex chooses Jonny, who warns him that he's had a lot of big numbers...

12 - £1,000 Jonny

20 - £100,000 Alice

Noel says this is becoming tense...he calls a break and says that he wants a word with Maud about something the banker said which is apparently too rude for an teatime show!

Welcome back
Noel has had his talk with Maud...Last box before the banker...not another big one please, says Noel

15 - 50p Az

Banker time



Still good, says Dex, and Noel agrees. The banker rings and says this is just like Amanda's board nearly two weeks ago, and he got her out for £20,000...

Banker offers

£25,000

Dex says it's a very good offer...he doesn't know what to do...Lola asks him what his gut feeling was to the offer, and Dex says that honestly, it was to deal and take the money. Lola says that for her, that would be the answer for the question if it was her gut thought. Dex says he remember's Amanda's game well, and he doesn't want to create a repeat of it...Liam asks what the chance of the same thing happening on the same board are, he says that if £25k is enough for you, take it. Dex sits down and asks for the question...

Dex says

Dex says that after finding the £100k, a £10,000 increase on the offer was very kind, and £25k is around what he wanted...Noel says we have to destroy the board now....

10 - £1 Lucy The perfect start, says Noel...don't do what Amanda did!

4 - £250,000 Gwen

Dex shouts 'COME ON' and hugs Gwen....one more to go, find the £50k or the £75k, urges Noel

7 - £100 Mary-Louise

Banker time



The banker says it was still a strong board, but so far, Dex is winning

Banker would have offered



Dex smiles and we play on...

You have to have an awful round now, says Noel...

13 - £50,000 Robbie

3 - £3,000 Gus

Find the £75,000! Noel cries

9 - £75,000 Newbie Keith

Banker time with £250 and £20,000 remaining



A complete victory, Noel says!

Banker would have offered

So, you've defeated the banker, says Noel! Dex says he's thrilled...it's now time to find out how big the victory was.

Noel opens box 2 to reveal £250

Melinda opens box 14 to reveal £20,000

Noel says it's brilliant when the player deals just at the right time, and he says that's exactly what Dex did today...he tells us to joint tomorrow where hopefully, the banker will be beaten again!

115 Dex - £25,000 - £250 - £25,000 - £2,500

What a game, I would've done the same

I probably would've have gone one more round than Dex...

I'm away again tomorrow, so Thursday's game will be posted on Friday, along with Friday's game...

I may have taken £20,000, but would have definitely taken £6,000 at the end.
