Max's game today.

Noel has a tip for the contestants, and he thinks there is one element that they don't focus on, it is first impressions, and the Banker forms an opinion as soon as they sit in the chair, and he goes along the wings and asks the contestants to let us see their face that they will put on for the Banker.

Max has box 22 today

Max is from Cornwall, but originally from New Zealand. He hopes to win enough to take his girlfriend to New Zealand to show her where he was brought up. Max shows us a picture of his girlfriend, and one of his gran. Max shows us another photo of him surfing, which he says is a huge part of his life. He has some carved bones that his late dad had made for him when he was born.

Here we go...

That's not bad says Max. The Banker says there is one massive thing he has in common with Max, they are both surfers and he is often out catching the tubes, Noel tells him to stay away from Greenpeace

Banker's offer:

£10,000

Max says

NO DEAL

Round 2

Newbie Angela next, who is a wrapper in a fish and chip shop, and Noel asks her for a demo of what she does. He then asks her what they do and Angela says that they do spicy meatballs for £3.30, and Noel asks is that for 2, but Angela replies that you get 15 for that as well as chips and gravy, and Noel is amazed you get that many and says he will be visiting to get some

2 - £50,000 Newbie Angela

Noel calls a break....

Noel wants the 1p kiss done properly as they have been in trouble with Offsnog lately for not doing proper 1p kisses recently

Banker's offer:

£12,500

The 1p is a powerful amount going says Noel.

Max says

NO DEAL

Round 3

Howie next, but the Banker calls first and thought he might give Howie the chance to win £200, if he produces a blue he might give him the £200

3 - £50 Howie

The Banker calls and says he has decided not to give Howie the £200!

21 - £500 Anji

15 - £35,000 Erica

Banker time

It's funny how just 1 box can change the whole complexion of a round says Noel.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

That's still a great offer says Max, but the £250,000 and £75,000 are still in play.

Max says

NO DEAL

Round 4

18 - £15,000 Ashlea

4 - £250,000 Lisa

Noel calls another break...

We're back
Last box before the Banker

17 - £75,000 Sue

Banker time

Oh Max, that was just so cruel says Noel. The Banker says he thought Max would hit one of the top 2, but never thought he would hit both of them.

Banker's offer:

£800

That's the scale of the disaster says Noel.

Max says

NO DEAL

Round 5

13 - £1 Denise

5 - £100 Lois

One more and this is an attractive 5-box says Noel.

1 - £1,000 Mary

Banker time

Noel runs through the previous offers Max has received.

Banker's offer:

£4,000

Noel asks Allan what he would do, and he says he would play on. The Banker calls and has a suggestion for Max to help him, if Max plays on and the 1st box he opens is a blue he will call back and make another offer, but if it is a red Max just plays on as normal. Max says that he is good at getting in your head . A pilgrim asks Max what he would do if he was surfing and 5 waves came in, which one would he go for, and Max says the big one, the pilgrim says that is your answer then.

Max says

DEAL
