Show 25



Soloman's game today.

Noel talks about the unusual game yesterday - despite the terrible board, it felt like a great game due to Lucy's wonderful personality...he tells us some facts about a few of the future contestants...Keith runs the London Marathon every year, new player Ashleyne loves casinos, and Dylan's real name is Edmund, but we're not allowed to call him that...Dylan says that 'Dylan' is his middle name....we take a look at the board...



Soloman has Box 7 today. Soloman Anderson is a 27-year old businessman from Yorkshire...businessman is very broad, Noel says, and Soloman says it's very boring, so he won't go into it...Soloman says this is his 19th show, and he didn't think it'd be him today...we have his fiance Rachael in the audience...she's gorgeous, Noel says! Soloman says he's looking for some funding for the wedding, and a nice honeymoon, and some spare money would be nice as well...

Soloman shows us some pictures, Noel says he looks a lot better with his head shaven like it is now! Soloman confirms he chose Box 7 at random before the show....

Here we go...

No system, Soloman says...he spends ages choosing the first box!

21 - £15,000 Lola

Huge groans....Noel says this bad luck really is contagious...

15 - £1,000 Newbie Ashleyne

8 - £75,000 Alice

Banker time



Astonishing, Noel says...Soloman remains silent but doesn't seem too rattled. Noel says it's awful when each day this week, a player comes out and just has awful game after awful game...Soloman says we're going to turn it around! The banker rings and says that even he was expecting a change in the players luck today....he can't think of an offer low enough to match that board! He says this is the lowest offer he's ever given...

Banker offers

21p

A mixture of laughter and groans! Soloman says it's a tough one...

Soloman says

NO DEAL

Next round...Noel says we don't want to see any reds for a very long time!

19 - 10p Benjamin

3 - £5,000 Patrick

Mixed reactions...Noel says he doesn't think Soloman understands we're looking for blues - he says he'll explain the rules to him during a break!

Welcome back

Soloman now says he understands the rules...this will be a blue then, Noel says

2 - £1 Liz

Banker time



Soloman says that he's sure the board will balance out slowly, he says he's determined for that £50,000...the banker rings and says he almost wants the board to start being better, as he's barely had to make any effort for days!

Banker offers

£2,000

Soloman says that it's a nice offer...he says it won't get even get them a decent honeymoon!

Soloman says

NO DEAL

Next round....Box 10 with Gwen!

10 - £3,000 Gwen

Down to just 4 reds now, Noel says....

14 - £10,000 Greg

Soloman laughs...3 red and 9 blues on the board now, Noel whines!

22 - £100 Dylan

Banker time



With all those blues, how do you keep hitting reds? Noel asks...Soloman says he can't believe it, but the big three are still there...the banker rings and says that maybe Noel needs to explain the rules again...

Banker offers

£3,000

It's a pretty good offer, Soloman says, and Noel agrees. Soloman asks Lola, who says that she would go on, and she thinks he has one of those three reds in his box

Soloman says

NO DEAL

Time for nervous Nea...please give us a blue Nea, Noel says...

18 - £10 Nea

Cheers...Soloman says he wants to find the 1p!

5 - £250 Liam

Are you going to do an all-blue round at last? Noel asks...he calls a break!

Welcome back

One more to go...Soloman says this is a very important box.

1 - £500 Mandy

The audience cheer and Soloman leaps up into the air!

Banker time



We're slowly getting there, Noel says...Soloman says he's done well to get to this board after that opening round, and Noel agrees...the banker says that he's starting to feel quite threatened by this game, and he didn't think he would after all those reds at the start!

Banker offers

£7,000

Soloman claps it...he says it's much higher than any of his previous offers...21p, £2,000, £3,000 and now £7,000, Noel says...is now the right time to deal, he asks...Soloman shakes his head, then asks Rachael, who tells him to go for it if he believe he has big money in his box....Soloman says he does

Soloman says

NO DEAL

Now we need to avoid a crash, Noel says...Soloman closes his eyes and thinks for a second...

11 - £50 Roy

20 - £5 Pamela

Soloman puts his head in his hands in disbelief...he wants everyone to think of the 1p....you can do it now, Noel tells him

13 - 50p Robbie

Another all-blue round!

Banker time



7 blues in a row now, Noel says...Soloman says he's thrilled with the board...the banker rings and says what a turnaround! He doen't know what will get Soloman out, but he has a trick up his sleeve...

Banker offers

£14,999

Soloman says that's so much money...he asks the wings what to do...Claudia tells him that there's a 60% chance he has more in his box, and just a 10% chance of hitting the three reds....Gwen reminds him that it's a lot of money, and it can pay for a lot of their wedding....Soloman says that £50,000 will give Rachael the wedding she's always wanted

Soloman says

NO DEAL

WOW, Noel says...after the past few days bad luck, he really thought Soloman would deal! Soloman says he wants the two blues in the next two boxes...he picks Claudia....you've given great advice, now deliver the 1p, Noel tells her

12 - £35,000 Claudia

Not a great start...Soloman says it's not over!

4 - £750 Keith

One more...Soloman is torn between 16 and 17...

16 - 1p Harrison

Screams from the audience...Soloman has done it!

Banker time with £20,000 and £50,000 remaining!



Soloman gives some of the contestants high-fives, then sits down, thrilled...he asks if Rachael can come down for this part, and she joins him at the pound table. This is just terrific, Noel says...after the awful start to the game, this is a truly amazing turnaround! The banker rings and says that he's in shock, and that Soloman has messed him about! The banker then says that he has respect for Soloman...respect worth a hefty sum he's about to offer.

Banker offers

£33,000

Soloman smiles, but says he's gaurenteed £20,000 no matter what....

Soloman says

NO DEAL

You've played an absoloutely amazing game, Noel says...after you knocked out the top three in the first round, was the fourth in your box all along? All the wings are joining hands....

Noel opens box 7 and reveals £50,000

Everyone screams and runs up to Soloman as the music plays! Soloman thanks everyone and takes a seat....

Amazing, Noel says...Emily rushes back to open box 17, revealing the £20,000

Such a turnaround, Noel says...he says all this bad luck was building up to a huge win, and Soloman is now our biggest winner, taking home £50,000...he says that this is the part he loves about Deal Or No Deal, when they make someones dreams a reality....

125 Soloman - £50,000 - £50,000 - £33,000 - £0.21
