Aw, what?

Now I'd very definitely go on...

The banker's offered 22k, he can't go back on his word and offer 20k ffs

Ah, this is getting ridiculous now.

Yes, he can and he's done it before.

Wow - evil banker tactics.

The bankers playing mind games, hopefully it won't work.

Back again the to the old adage 'Rules, what rules!' Makin em up as we go along
I'd be well cheesed off if playing and that happened.

I think she'll go on regardless of the fluff btw, has anyone noticed the offer at this stage is higher than it would have been last week under a Santa scenario.

This'll be a deal...

There are no rules. If people can persuade the banker to up offers, he must have the opportunity to drop them too.

Jesus...

The banker rings back and says that's a lesson to everyone, and there's only one person in charge, and that's him! Lucie asks Haroon, who says he'd go for it. The banker rings back again and speaks to Lucie's partner again.

Subtitles come on the screen and reveal what the banker's saying. The banker tells Lucie's partner that if she can convince Lucie to deal at £20,000, then he'll give her £22,000, but Lucie mustn't find out about this. Lucie's partner tries to convince her to deal at £20,000 and talks about how angry the banker is.

The banker phones back again and talks to Lucie's partner again. Subtitles come on screen again, and he says he'll actually give £25,000 if she convinces Lucie to deal. Lucie tells her partner not to get wound up by the banker.

Noel gets Lucie's partner to ask the question.

Lucie says

DEAL

Well this is an interesting way to fill up the extra 12 minutes but with a psychologist playing, it's just about acceptable.

I said this would be a deal...

Well it's worked and it was very worth going on. Hopefully it's the right choice.

Here, wait a minute! You haven't beaten the banker yet...

The banker rings back and says he's keeping his word.

DEAL £25,000

Lucie's partner reveals what happened...

I think £25k would have been a deal for me on that board. The proveout will be fascinating now.

Round 6 - proveout

Noel says Lucie's the first player to take a deal when they don't know what the offer is.

8 - Dave - £20,000

21 - Claire - £75,000

19 - Derrick - £15,000

Banker time with £250 and £35,000 remaining

The banker says he's loving all of this.

Banker's offer would've been:

£15,000

Lucie has £35,000 in her box 10.
