Aaron's game today.

Noel pays the banker a compliment, as he says he's been in good form recently, because he's managed to spot the risk-takers and the cautious players correctly. He talks about George and Jim, and how one was a gambler and one was cautious, and the banker correctly identified what they each were.

Aaron has box 6.

Aaron is a hair stylist, and he says he originally wanted to be an architect but he didn't like being office-based. He says one of his friends describes him as the campest straight man they know! He has his son's toy with him today, and his ex-brother-in-law James is in the audience. We get to see a photo of his dad and grandparents.

Here we go...

Round 1

Aaron says he spent the evening with Toni and she has loads of energy. The banker rings and says we get that Aaron's not gay, and he should leave it now! Aaron gets Amy to put her rabbit ears on...

18 - Cat - £100

10 - Bob - £20,000

3 - Claudio - £35,000

15 - Andria - £10

Aaron starts laughing about David, and the banker rings and gloats that he got David to do his donkey laugh on Friday! David says he's going to be poker-faced today, and the banker says he has a tape recorder and talks about partying in room 102 last night, which is Toni's room. He plays a recording of David's donkey laugh and he says that's what was going on in room 102.

7 - Elaine - 1p

Banker time

The banker says he thinks Aaron could be reckless after his night last night.

Banker's offer:

£9,500

Aaron says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Round 2

4 - Rachael - £15,000

13 - Caroline - £75,000

14 - Wayne - £500

Banker time

Noel says Aaron's earrings look like tiddlywinks counters. The banker has a go at Aaron's friend in the audience for not being interested in the game! He reveals that he said to the girls near him that they probably can't believe they're on TV, and that they look lovely.

Banker's offer:

£6,500

Aaron says he's come for big money.

Aaron says

NO DEAL

Round 3

17 - Gary - 10p

5 - Elvis - £1

Noel calls a break...

We're back

Last box before the Banker

Noel reveals that Aaron was a stripogram once, and it boosted his confidence and helped him greatly!

16 - Tristan - £50,000

Banker time

The banker says if Aaron hits one of the big 2, he'll have control over him.

Banker's offer:

£8,000

Noel talks about Aaron's dreams, including setting up his own salon and paying back his parents some money. Aaron says he recently received news that his dad is terminally ill, and he'd like to help out his mum when the inevitable happens. Noel says £8k doesn't look much on the board, but he says it could be Aaron's now if he wants. Rachael says only Gary knows whether going on is worth the risk, and Amy says they've seen so many people going one round early recently.

Aaron says

NO DEAL

If he had dealt then, Mark would have been apoplectic...

Round 4

22 - Craig - £10,000

11 - David - £3,000

19 - Zoe - £50

Banker time

Indeed I would have done.

The banker says he has to consider that it was a big decision for Aaron to decline the last offer.

Banker's offer:

£14,000

I'd be very tempted to go on, even though it's an absolute two-box game...

He probably won't, though.

With the two biggest still in play, and not much of a fall back, a hard choice... but very worth another round.

Aaron says he came with a couple of values in mind, and that offer is close to the lower figure he was thinking of. He talks about how much the money would help his dad, and the banker rings and asks what the lower figure is. Aaron says the offer is very close, and again the banker asks what it is, but Aaron doesn't tell him. The banker says if Aaron tells him, the banker guarantees he'll give Aaron the chance to win it, but he won't elaborate on what "chance" means.

Aaron says he appreciates what the banker was doing there. He asks his friend, who says that it's a good offer and there's a low chance of getting that offer again. The banker rings and says Aaron is less likely to get more money if he goes on. He says again that if Aaron tells him the lower figure, he guarantees he'll give him the chance to win it, and Noel says he sounds very sincere. Aaron says his lower figure is £15,000.

Banker's offer:

£15,000
