Debbie's game today.

Noel wishes us all a merry Christmas on Christmas Eve, and welcomes us to the winter wonderland, and says that lady luck has finally arrived as Daniel managed to win the holiday and go home with a nice sum of money.

Noel explains the Scrooge or Santa twist that takes place at the 5-box stage. There are 3 snowmen and 2 of them have a Santa and 1 has a Scrooge, find the Santa and the contestant gets an offer after every box in the final round, but find the Scrooge and the Banker gets to look inside the contestant's box and the final round continues in the usual 3 box style. There is also a Christmas tree where the contestant gets to the chance to win a holiday.

Debbie has box 1 today.

Debbie says she is very nervous, she is a part-time legal secretary and admits she gets very emotional and cries all the time! Noel gets the tissues ready and the Banker calls and says he can make Debbie cry by telling her that Noel is married. Debbie shows us some of her family photos, and Debbie says she missed her son losing his tooth last night.

Debbie has ber brother Steve in the audience for support today.

Here we go...

Round 1

Debbie says she is going to win the £250,000 today. The Banker says he is so excited today that he has a Christmas gift for Debbie today, and if she finds the 1p in the opening round she can give that gift to any of the contestants.

19 - 50p Haroon

8 - £15,000 Scott

2 - £20,000 Detrix

9 - £3,000 Andy

I'm liking the reds today says Debbie. Debbie picks box 5 which Julie has and Debbie says that she would have given the gift to Julie. The Banker says that Noel can reveal what the gift is, and it is a 3 night break to Majorca.

Noel then calls a break before we can find out if Julie wins the prize.

We're back
Last box before the Banker

5 - 10p Julie

Banker time

Ohhh that was so close says Noel. The Banker says that 10p is so close to 1p and it is so close to Christmas... But tough luck Julie!

Banker's offer:

£12,500

Wow that is a great offer says Debbie, and that would get her the camper that she wants.

Debbie says

NO DEAL

Round 2

7 - £1,000 Betty

Julie says she needs to keep 3 numbers to the end and asks Noel to stop her if she tries to pick any of them

11 - £750 Phyli

20 - £35,000 Ian

Banker time

Debbie says she doesn't mind the look of her board at the moment. The Banker thinks it is time to have a show censor due the inuendo that flies around, and gives Mia control of Noel's yellow and red cards to keep things in order, and she is even allowed to show them to Noel

Banker's offer:

£12,500 + Allow Julie the holiday if Debbie deals

Debbie says

NO DEAL

Round 3

22 - £50,000 David

4 - £250 Marilyn

Noel calls another break and gets Debbie to do the link...

looking interesting, given that its a 3 box game at this point with the top 3 power 5 in play. Shes staked her claim on the £250k so lets hope it doesn't show up now.

We're back
Last box before the Banker

17 - £75,000 Maz

Banker time

Top three, then a gap to ten grand. Something tells me this next offer will be rubbish regardless, as will the one after, to drag her on. This is a strong, volatile board, which is the configuration that triggers early Deals.

That's fair enough says Debbie, but she adds that she is a positive person.

Debbie says

NO DEAL

OK, top TWO and the huge gap. This will be useless for sure now.

Round 4

18 - £500 Ant

16 - 1p Grace

3 - £50 Mia

Banker time

Well 7k was just that. but now shes cleared the 1p thats an important step and she still has 100k and 250k id say an offer 20k ish. maybe the guvnor?

I don't think any offer, high or low will shift her. She is determined she will play to end, hoping she will either win £75,000 (now gone), £100,000 or £250,000.

Nah, she'll be dragged to the twist seeing as we have an adbreak left.
