Rob's game today.

Noel says that one of the things we don't know is that before the show starts the pilgrims are asked if there are any questions about Deal or No Deal, and he says that today he was asked how they come up with a fresh intro every day. Noel says that they start in the morning with a small team working on it, then 7 writers join in at 1pm, then 3pm they send it to the producer, then they send it to head office, but today they couldn't be bothered!!

Rob has box 17 today.

Rob is a shop assistant. Noel says that Rob has mild learning difficulties, and this resulted in him being bullied a lot when he was at school, and Rob talks about his learning problems and how he dealt with the bullying at school. Rob has his mum and dad in the studio for support today. Noel talks to Rob's parents about his learning difficulties, and his dad reveals that Rob had 400 driving lessons before he passed, and that shows his level of determination to succeed. We get to see some of Rob's pictures and Noel asks about his love of Hawaiian shirts.

Rob loves bingo and does some bingo calling at a local club.

Here we go...

Round 1

Rob has 7 numbers that he will keep until the end 3,6,7,9,12,13 and 22. He tells Noel the reasons for keeping them, they are mainly birthday numbers. Noel says that the numbers are his normal order at the local Chinese takeaway.

Rob is going to bingo call out his number today. 1 fat lady, no 8 is first.

8 - £500 Tony

10 - £10 Newbie Poppy

21 - £750 Ian

16 - £10,000 Yvonne

Rob nearly falls over the set!

4 - 1p Stacey

Banker time

The Banker says he has been looking forward to this game.

Banker's offer:

£10,000

That is unbelievable says Rob

Rob says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

oh a good start avoiding all the power 5 and I like his pick of special boxes and I too wasn't sure he wasn't taking the mickey out of Noel. After he said number 3 as his birthday was in March I was expecting him to say number 4 because his cat has four legs.

While on the wings Rob has often been asked 'whats in his box' and almost always predicted a big red but turned out to be a blue
He's kind of shown his hand a little by saying he doesn't think he will win the £250k, so a modest deal sounds like it could be on the cards around 8 box.

We're back

Rob talks about the 2 jobs he has at a newsagent and Chinese takeaway.

Round 2

1 - £50 Irene

20 - £20,000 Emma

11 - £5,000 Danni

Banker time

The Banker talks about the mixture of fear and excitement that Rob felt going up against the Banker, and the Banker says that he felt the same.

Banker's offer:

£14,500

Rob says

NO DEAL

Round 3

5 - £1,000 Annette

It's going well says Rob.

19 - £50,000 Francesca

That was the first big hit of the game says Noel, he then calls a break...

Don't think the loss of the £50k is going to have much impact at this stage. Something like a stick which may get him thinking. Where is everyone this afternoon!?

We're back
Last box before the Banker

Noel is going to test Rob on his Chinese takeaway numbers and asks him to go along the wings and tell him what each box remaining is in food! Rob goes along the wings and reels off all the dishes.

2 - £35,000 Olga

Banker time

The Banker says 2 of the power 5 went then, but he is still feeling Rob out.

Banker's offer:

£14,500

Rob says he is getting more positive now, and goes to his mum and dad for some advice.

Rob says

NO DEAL

they sure seem to be building him up for a fall with those predictions for the top 3 boxes. Don't jinx it!

Round 4

Rob picks Ade with box 15 next, but Ade isn't sure that Rob should pick him because of the feeling he has.

15 - 10p Ade

What do I know says Ade

14 - £75,000 Matt

18 - £100,000 Sam

Banker time

That is amazing sasy Noel, and that has changed the game, and this has now swung the Banker's way. What to offer now asks the Banker.

The Banker tells Noel to call a break while he thinks about this offer.

what did I say about them jinxing it. now hes going to be forced on another round in the hope that th £250k increases his offer. Having said that now we are waiting for an offer, with the £250k on the board the banker may not try and lowball it too much and push him another round..

A precarious situation and one box game, but would anyone else deal at anything less than his last offer with the big one on the board? Got to be worth the gamble if the offer is less than £15k.

We're back

The Banker thinks offering Rob £4,000 is too much of a risk.


Banker's offer:

£8,000
