Show 30



Gwen's game today.

Noel talks about Dylan's early deal yesterday and says that the banker is feeling pretty confident after two wins in a row...he wants todays player to come to the crazy chair with determination to the banker! We take a look at the board...



Gwen has Box 2 today. Gwenyth Wills is a 27-year old secretary from Ireland...Noel says she's being very giggly and she says it's because she's nervous! Gwenyth has her partner Karl in the audience as support today...Noel says he looks even more nervous than she does! Gwenyth talks about growing up in Ireland with 5 brothers and no sisters...Gwenyth says her ambition is to be very successful in her career, but a more immediate ambition is to go on a brilliant shopping spree! She'd also like to redecorate their flat with some of the money she wins today...

We see some pictures of Gwen and Karl, and some of her with her friends...Gwen says she tried explaining the rules of DOND to them, but some of them just couldn't understand it! Gwen then confirms she chose Box 2 at random, before the show...

Here we go...

Gwen says 13 is unlucky for some, but not for her...Ashleyne wishes her the best of luck

13 - £50,000 Ashleyne

Gwen giggles and Noel tells her it's not funny! She chooses Brian next, and says he's very sexy...Noel reminds her that Karl is in the audience!

8 - £20,000 Brian

12 - £1 Benjamin

Another bankers power of 5 for Benjamin! Noel asks how many in a row that is now, and Benjamin says it's 7!

6 - £750 Emily

10 - £35,000 Patrick

Banker time



A massive hole already, Noel says...Gwen shrugs and says that she always says the board will balance itself out...Noel reminds her of games like Liz's and Mary-Louise's! The banker rings and says funny you should mention them, as he has a feeling today's game will be one of a similar nature...

Banker offers

£1,250

Gwen says it's a lot of money for a Thursday afternoon...

Gwen says

NO DEAL

Next round...don't make that gap any bigger, Noel says

18 - £500 Harrison

Harrison struggled to open his box, and Noel tells him that in 28 shows, he should have learnt by now!

1 - £15,000 Pamela

Pamela struggles slightly as well! Noel says this is unbelievable and he says he'll have a word with them and show them how to open a box during the break...

Welcome back!

One more box until the next offer!

17 - £10,000 Nigel

Banker time



The gap is much bigger now, Noel says...Gwen says it makes for a gamblers board. The banker rings and says that it's fine by him as he does not think Gwen is a gambler!

Banker offers

£6,000

Wow, Gwen says! She says it's a very good offer as there's just 3 amounts above it, which is very good for a second offer...she says that £6,000 is a good sum for her...she looks at the board and says it's a bit early yet...

Gwen says

NO DEAL

Gwen says she really needs to make sure she doesn't hit the top 3 now...

9 - £1,000 Scarlett

That's okay, Gwen says...

16 - £100,000 Keith

Thats not, Noel cries!

4 - 1p Greg

Banker time



It really is a gamblers board now, Noel says...Gwen says she has no idea what the offer will be now. The banker rings and tells Gwen to note his genorosity, as the offer has gone up despite her finding the £100,000...

Banker offers

£8,000

Gwen nods and claps at the offer...Dylan dealt at this point yesterday, and will you follow suit? Noel asks...Gwen says it's really hard when it's such a crazy board...she says £8,000 will make a lot of difference. She thinks for a while, and asks Karl, who says that he would go on, but he won't hold anything against her no matter what she does...Gwen giggles again and asks for the question

Gwen says

NO DEAL

Gwen says she wants everyone behind her for the next round!

15 - £250 Nea

Gwen screams...it's only one, says Noel!

22 - £5,000 Brenda

Gwen says it's okay, and Noel says her nerves are showing...he calls a break so that she can calm down!

Welcome back to Gwen's game!

It's an important box...last one before the next offer! She chooses the newbie, Laurence, who Noel welcomes to the game!

11 - £250,000 Laurence

Banker time



Silence...Gwen takes her seat and says what will be will be....the banker rings and says that this is a very very good offer...he says if she doesn't take it, she'd be a fool...

Banker offers

£2,500

Gwen says it's a good offer, but she says she wanted more money than that...she asks around and Lola says that if she can give up £2,500, then go for it...Gwen nods and asks for the question

Gwen says

NO DEAL

Next round...it'll be a tragedy if you find the £75,000 now, Noel tells her!

14 - £10 Roy

Claudia and box 7 next...Gwen says it's a massive risk...

7 - 50p Claudia

Gwen screams and Noel says the run of 11 reds is over! Claudia looks thrilled! Gwen says if one of the red-addicts has a blue, she thinks the other will...Alice wishes her the best of luck.

21 - £3,000 Alice

Mixed reactions, Gwen stays quiet...

Banker time



Gwen says it was a pretty good round, Noel says we didn't want to hit the £3,000...the banker rings and says that it doesn't matter that the £3,000 is gone...Noel asks why and the banker says it's because Gwen has the oppurtunity to win it now...

Banker offers

£3,000

Silence from the audience...Gwen shakes her head and says it's not good enough...she sighs and says she really doesn't want to win a blue, but £3,000 isn't enough...Claudia asks her how she'd feel if she dealt and had the £75,000 in her box, and Gwen says she'd feel awful...worse than if you turned down £3k and won a blue? Claudia asks...Gwen thinks about and then says she wants to go for it...she asks for the question but then changes her mind and asks Karl, who says that he would go on now...

Gwen says

NO DEAL

No one can doubt your bravery, Noel tells Gwen, but now you need to prove it wasn't a stupid decision to make!

19 - £100 Irene

20 - £50 Lola

Gwen screams...one to go, Noel says, please don't find it now!

5 - £5 Peter

Gwen screams again!

Banker time with 10p and £75,000 remaining.


Oh my god, Gwen says! The banker rings and says that he thinks £14,999 could get Gwen out now...Gwen shakes her and the banker says he wants to make sure she doesn't get near that £75,000...

Banker offers

£20,000

Gwen says that it's amazing! Karl still says he'd go on, and Gwen tells Noel that she thinks he's just trying to impress everyone with his courage sometimes! Gwen nods and asks for the question

Gwen says

Gwen says she couldn't turn it down...Noel says she did well to get this far, and hopefully she didn't blow £75,000!

Noel opens box 2 and reveals 10p

Liam opens box 3 and reveals the £75,000

Gwen says that she's so thrilled...Noel says that when you look at the sums in her game - £1,250 - £6,000 - £8,000 - £2,500 - £3,000 - £20,000 - 10p, there's a real stand out sum, and Gwen took it, and played the game perfectly!

130 Gwen - £20,000 - £0.10 - £20,000 - £1,250
