Shannon's game today.

Noel talks about how it's important to make a good impression when you're a newbie, and that applied to Ian yesterday, as the banker thought he was boring when he joined the show. He the runs through Ian's show yesterday and how Anthony had a key part in the game, which allowed Ian to swap away £3,000 to win £5,000.

Had the £50k yesterday. Hopefully a mega spanking today.

Jeepers H Crackers - we had one just two days ago...

Shannon has box 8.

Noel gets on his knees and apologises for making fun of Shannon's hair when she was a newbie! Shannon is a law student from York, and also works in a shop. She speaks a bit about her law studies and says she wants to be a solicitor, and is looking for work experience. She introduces us to a couple of friends she has in the audience, and shows us a photo of her cat. We also get to see a pic of her in fancy dress with all her friends, dressed up as cows!

Shannon says she feels a bit poorly today but is feeling fit for the game.

Here we go...

Round 1

6 - Sarah - 10p

16 - Abiola - £10,000

10 - Debs - £15,000

Banker time

Good opening round.

We all know what the Banker says about low reds going in the first 5 boxes...

The banker says he's been looking forward to Shannon's game, and says she has a good fashion sense. Noel picks on the newbie Iain, because he's wearing an orange shirt which clashes with the set. The banker says he may offer £10,000 now.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

So Ian was replaced with an Iain.

Shannon says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Iain replacing Ian, eh?

Not quite the same, though, as what happened towards the end of season 3 - when Carol replaced Carol...

I like Shannon.

We're back

Round 2

7 - Tara - £1

3 - Al - £50

12 - Hugo - £250,000

Banker time

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

This game is so rigged against the pretty girls. I might write to channel 4 and complain.

The banker says he's seen extraordinary things at the hotel, including Shannon doing an impression of someone who's pregnant! She says she can't do it as she's not eaten enough, so Noel gets Hugo to do it.

Banker's offer:

£7,000

Shannon says

NO DEAL

It's a random game...

Last box before the Banker

Noel talks about the phobias that Shannon has, including a fear of blunt pencils and a fear of banging cutlery! Noel then throws some cutlery on the pound table and Shannon hates it.

Banker time

The banker tells Noel off for throwing the cutlery around!

Banker's offer:

£6,500
