Laurence's game today.

Noel needs to build everyone up today as the Banker put all the contestants down yesterday!

Had the QM 3 times in 4 games but nothing more than £5k in his box in the last 9 games (not that this has any significance on today's game)

Laurence has box 14 today.

Laurence is a student and part time residential worker, he believes in destiny and explains how he met his wife in a bar. Laurence has a piece of paper that Noel asks about, and it is a drawing from his daughter. We get to see a family picture, and Laurence explains how his 2nd daughter was born within 42 minutes of his wife going into labour. Laurence has a dream of buying a plot of land and building his own house.

Here we go...

Round 1

9 - £1 Daphne

Laurence isn't sure whether to chose the boxes by numbers or faces, Noel tries to help by explaining some of the systems that have been used in the past.

7 - £250,000 Christina

5 - £35,000 Dave

15 - £3,000 Ovie

20 - £15,000 Rob

Banker time

That is the opposite of Lara's game says Noel. The Banker says he is feeling a lot brighter at this point in Laurence's game than he was in Lara's game.

Banker's offer:

£11

Laurence says

NO DEAL

Round 2

6 - £50 Cedelle

13 - £500 Emma

Laurence says it is a lot more difficult to pick numbers than you think. Noel asks if it is a lot more difficult than the break link he is about to perform...

I was thinking he might have got a first round swap when the Banker mentioned about giving him his favourite number. That probably would have been a more useful offer than the £11 he got as his opening offer.

Average board at the first break.

We're back
Last box before the Banker

4 - £75,000 Del

Banker time

Given all Noel's talk about swaps recently, it's a surprise we haven't seen a swap offer at the first offer lately.

Things can turn around says Noel. The Banker says that some games aren't a roller-coaster and are more like a bobsleigh and all downhill!

Banker's offer:

£1,100

Laurence says

NO DEAL

At least with the first 2 offers being low, we might still get an OPW out of this.

Round 3

16 - £100,000 Darren

21 - £50,000 Rose

What evil luck says Noel. Laurence says it is a one-box game for him now

17 - £1,000 Jenks

Banker time

Actually £1,100 is looking quite nice right now.

That is an amazing moment in the game says Noel as normally the £1,000 going is OK, but Laurence needs to hold onto all the reds now. The Banker speaks to Laurence.

Banker's offer:

11p

Laurence says

NO DEAL

Round 4

Noel says we have seen games turn around from this situation

3 - £20,000 Mini

That is an unbelievable run now says Noel. Noel talks about a possible nightmare all-blue 8-box!

19 - £5,000 Harry

Laurence says you have almost got to laugh at this, as what are the chances of doing this. Noel thinks that no one has produced an all-blue 8-box to date, and then calls a break...

This is just horrible.
