Vel's game today.

Noel says that this could be a historic week for DoND, and talks about the Banker's magic offer of £26,000 and it's origins and how it has got so many people out of the chair, but this week there seems to be a new secret weapon for the Banker and it is £21,000.

First player of the year to have the £250k before their game...

Vel has box 1 today.

Vel is a freelance writer, and Vel explains how he has a Serbian surname. He has some Serbian dancing shoes with him, and Vel tells us about the different styles of dancing. He then shows us a picture of him at a Serbian dance show. There is another photo of his daughter Daisy.

Here we go....

Round 1

Vel is going to use a snooker ball system based on the ball colours relating to the contestants clothes colours.

8 - £75,000 Franca

13 - £1 Paul

12 - £5 Barbara

10 - £1,000 Jefferson

6 - £50,000 Andre

Banker time

Wow, that is a fascinating little scenario you have created there says Noel. Noel tells Vel to lie down on the floor as he is fed up looking up at him! The Banker says it is an honour to have a man on the show of Vel's stature and learning instead of the usual riff-raff!

Banker's offer:

£7,147

Vel says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break....

We're back

Round 2

Vel was going to pick Olivia with box 19 as she is wearing pink, but he has a thing about 19, so will leave it until later

11 - 50p Rachel

4 - £750 Dom

5 - £500 Debbie

Banker time

That is a lot of money, and can change a lot of things of things says Vel. He says he has never been able to take his daughter out on a shopping spree, and she has never complained or asked for anything, so he would love to be able to treat her.


Vel says

NO DEAL

Its a good looking board at this stage. Think the offer was a little on the low side. Maybe they were concerned over an early deal.

Round 3

17 - £100,000 Stephen

9 - 10p Crystal

Noel calls another break...

Well the 10p balanced out the 100k. Noel says the 250k looks very exposed, but tbh he has a good block of reds and really only the 1p as the pyschologically very low blue. Noel is going to be harping on at the 1p now I think if he can avoid the 250k then the offer should at least be a stick.

We're back
Last box before the Banker

22 - £5,000 Danielle

Banker time

Noel asks Vel about his fool-proof way of killing passion in the bedroom, and he does an impression of Michael Winner saying 'Calm dear, it's only my pants!' The Banker says that it is a dangerous board.

Banker's offer:

£14,147

Vel says that if he was on the wings he would be saying no deal, but it is totally different stood up there playing. Dom thinks there is another round in the game, Debbie says she would play on as well.

Vel says

NO DEAL

Round 4

21 - £10 Lee

Vel goes to Olivia next, but Noel points out all the highs values that she has had. The Banker calls and asks Olivia not to let him down again, and Olivia asks when he is going to take her out on a date, and he replies that he will the next time she reveals the £250,000

19 - £20,000 Olivia

2 - £35,000 Fran

Banker time

I think the loss of the 35k and 20k has taken the wind out of his sails, but unless we see an offer near 20k I don't think he will deal.

That is a lot of backup that has gone says Noel.

Banker's offer:

£12,500

Here's hoping he's brave enough to go on for at least one more round.
