Stacey's game today.

Noel talks about why he thinks the show is so popular. Noel says it's because the show reflects life and we all have ups and downs, just like the game.

Stacey has box 22 today.

Stacey is studying sociology. She is also a sales assistant, but apparently she is rubbish at the job and never reaches her targets.

We see a picture of Stacey with her boyfriend Guy, followed by a picture of her friends. She has a friend and her mum in the audience today to support her.

Here we go...

Banker is taking the mickey out of Beryl-Anne (newbie) for being posh.

Round 1

Stacey hasn't got a system.

3 - Charlie - £10

The Banker calls up and says the newbie is posh and asks if she's in the wrong place and if she was looking for the Antiques Roadshow.

20 - Beryl-Anne (Newbie) - £50

12 - Anita - £15,000

15 - Olga - £500

16 - Iain - £3,000

Banker time.

A great damage free first round. Do we get an offer over 10k or just a swap offer.

The Banker says he's been looking forward to Stacey's game and he's been watching her at the hotel. Apparently she was moo-ing at everyone and he has the evidence. The Banker then shows a picture of Stacey in a cow costume. Stacey says they're her pyjamas. She says she got locked out of her own room which is why she was wandering round the hotel in her pyjamas. The Banker says he's worried about Stacey because she's looney.

Banker's offer:

£8,000

Stacey says

NO DEAL

Break time...

WHAT?! Dom took out £75k and £35k and got offered £11,000. Stacey takes out £15k and £3k and she only gets offered £8,000?! WHY?!!?

Why? Because Dom was an easy read as a cocky player who wouldn't deal with the big two in play. With Stacey they aren't sure if she could be a low dealer because of her circumstances - 10k would probably solve many of her student money issues and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a deal at 11/8box with a 10-20k offer assuming she hasn't killed the board.

He has a different read on Stacey, and/or (probably "and") is changing tactics a little bit just for the fun of it.

We're back

Round 2

Noel tells us that Stacey wanted to become an electrician, but had a thing about floorboards.

Before Tony opens his box Stacey asks if he can do his dad dancing - which he does.

18 - Tony - £35,000

1 - Matt - 50p

11 - Sam - £1,000

Banker time

The Banker thought Tony's moves were quality. The Banker decides to stick.

Banker's offer:

£8,000

Stacey says

NO DEAL

yet another sub 10k offer with the top 4 still in play. A realistic offer of 12k might have got a lot more pondering...

A stick after that round confirms we are on a different offer pattern. The Banker, I suspect, thinks Stacey will be influenced more by the last two games than by Suzanne's.

Round 3

Noel thinks Stacey's phobia is unusual. She has a phobia of dinosaurs and volcanoes.

14 - Yvonne - £100,000

We could live with £35,000 says Noel, but not £100,000.

7 - Poppy - £100

Break time.

Sure and with the loss of the 100k it makes it a little bit easier for them to justify maybe another stick and a play on to 8 box. Rob said he wasn't going to win the £250k and I doubt stacey has got that target in her mind.

Round 3 - Continued

Noel is going to tell us something about Stacey soon that will shock us.

8 - Emma - £5

Banker time.

Stacey talks about her tortoises. One of her baby tortoises', Chomp, was left outside all night. He went to the vet, but died the next day. The Banker has apparently found an audio cassette containing Stacey's bedtime story and he starts to play it. It's called "Down on The Farm".

Banker's offer:

£11,000
