Tony's game today.

Noel says we are having an amazing 2011, and the Banker is in heaven so far this year as he is saving a fortune against what has been actually brought to the table. He says that the contestants this year have been very pessimistic this year and he is really looking for an optimist to play.

Tony has box 9 today.

Noel says everyone will go Whooo at Tony's full name as it is Tony LLoyd-Fisher. Tony is a mortgage advisor and says it was all going well until 2009 when the whole market collapsed and he lost his job, but he is now working for a bank, and Noel asks if it is one of the banks that we all own, and Tony says it is, so Noel says we will then be entitled to a share of his winnings today

We get to see some of Tony's family pictures.


Here we go...

Round 1

Tony hasn't got a system, but says he has had a lot of blues so is due a red and it will hopefully be in his box today.

22 - 10p Sherilyn

1 - £750 Leanne

10 - £3,000 Beryl

Ron next, and Noel gets him to show us his dance moves again, so Noel does a little jig in front of the gameboard

4 - 1p Ron

18 - £10,000 Stu

Banker time

Noel says that was an excellent start. The Banker says he is having a terrible weekend and there are lots of injuries around, Zowie has a strained tummy, Georgina punched herself in the face Georgina says she was out dancing and accidentally punched her friend in the face, so to make up for it she then punched herself in the face!

Banker's offer:

£9,750

Tony says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

We're back

Round 2

5 - £20,000 Andy

20 - £5 Karl

6 - £35,000 Georgina

Banker time

Noel tells a story about Tony, where he received a certificate from the RSPB for rescuing a gul from a tree, and Tony tells how he found the gul hanging from a tree trapped with some fishing line. Tony then says that later the following week he was in the town center and a gul swooped down and hit him! He thinks it was the same gul saying thanks!

Banker's offer:

£11,500

Tony says he has had a great time on the show and he sees his game as a no loss bet as he hasn't put anything down, but the Banker calls and says that he will have lost something and it will be the £11,500 he is about to turn down!

Tony says

NO DEAL

Round 3

Phoenix next, and Noel tries to guess his real name and thinks it is Albert, but Phoenix says he is wrong with that guess.

7 - £15,000 Phoenix

3 - £250 Dale

Noel calls a break before the next box...

We're back
Last box before the Banker

17 - £1,000 Dolly

Banker time

Noel tells the Banker that Tony has an air of confidence as he has the top 4 still in play so knows he can't take them all out in one round, but the Banker says he could take 3 out and that would destroy his game as there is no backup.

Banker's offer:

£15,000

Noel says that 4 of the power 5 at this stage is really good, but the £15,000 would fulfil a lot of Tony's dreams that he has written down. Tony says he would be really gutted if he dealt and then went on to find he had a power 5, but his family would be gutted if he went home with nothing.

Tony says

NO DEAL

Round 4

16 - £5,000 Adam

This is very unusual to have no reds below the £50,000 says Noel. Tony tells Tomas to not say anything before he opens his box, as when he does he always has a big red! The Banker calls and tells Tomas to tell a story and he will give him £100, Tony says he will give him £150 to keep his mouth shut

21 - £50 Tomas

This is a massive box now says Noel

8 - £10 Newbie Darrel

Banker time

An 8-box with the top 4 is most unusual says Noel. The Banker congratulates Tomas on keeping his integrity, and says this offer will have £150 on the end to pay Tomas.

Banker's offer:

£22,150

Miserable offer. Should have been the 'Governor' at £26K

That is an amazing offer says Tony, and Noel asks how much the extension is that Tony needs on his house. Tony talks about how his mum has fostered children for years, and he loves how he sees the transformation in when the children arrive to when they leave, and it is something that he would like to do and the extension would help with this dream. Tony goes to the wings for some advice. Noel says that the next offer if Tony plays on is going to be very different, and it is either going to be a lot higher, or a lot lower.

Tony says

DEAL

Hard choice to make with four of the power five still in play and no other reds. Was worth at least another round.

Tony says he hopes he doesn't regret that, but he couldn't risk it. Noel says he has heard that said so many times recently, and wonders if the man who originally said he would play all the way to the end will regret this decision.

Noel calls a break...

We're back

Noel goes over to the board and shows the 4 remaining power 5 amounts and asks if any of us would walk away from that board like Tony has.

Round 5 - Proveout round

Tony goes to Charlotte, but Noel stops him as Tony didn't choose her earlier as he thought she had a big amount and he should play on with honesty! (Perhaps Noel should say that to most of the Banker''s proveout offers!!)

15 - 50p Derrick

Tony asks if he can change his mind over the deal. The Banker calls and asks if Tony would really like to change his mind! Tony says he would love to change his mind, but the Banker says 'Hard cheese'

12 - £100,000 Sophie

11 - £75,000 IJ

Banker time
