Jodie's game today.

Noel says today's game will be different to the last two, which resulted in blue wins. He says the Banker was very naughty in Sean's game, when he started to tease Sean with future offers.

Take a drink for each time Noel says 'sweet cheeks'!

I hate how Noel says "only £750". It is quite a lot of money, maybe not to him, but to most contestants on the show it is a LOT.

Jodie has Box 8.

Jodie Bolton, from Wakefield, a nursery nurse. She has a photo of her with her her two sisters and her niece; her dad and her boyfriend Dale are in the audience. The nickname 'sweetcheeks' came about in school.

Here we go...

I am expecting a early deal. Also she's 18, so expect her to be cautious in some way.

Round 1

Beverley is still poorly.

Box 19 with newbie Ryan - £75,000

Box 22 with Craig - £100

Box 3 with Jill - 10p

Box 5 with Charley - £3,000

Box 10 with Marlene - £5

Banker time...

I noticed the person with the camera behind Lewis.

The Banker says he can't go any further, as there is a shocking lack of standards. He points out that a cameraman's arm was visible when Noel was talking to Lewis! The cameraman is forced to apologise!

Banker's offer:

£8,750

Wow, says Jodie, that's amazing.

Jodie says:

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

You expect that every day. Has anyone over 30 won the 250k yet?

Hopefully we get the first £20k+ win a yonks today and it is accomplished through sensible bravery.

Power went off in my house so I missed the first round.

Nick has had 3 power 5 amounts in a row no, surprised Noel hasn't picked up on it.

We're back...

Round 2

Box 21 with Nick - £35,000

That's a little disappointing, says Noel.

Box 9 with Brian - £250

The cameraman has fallen over now, and has hurt his leg quite badly!

Box 2 with Natalie - £1,000

Banker time...

The Banker is not happy with the cameraman's behaviour, but is prepared not to fire him as long as he doesn't sue for falling over. The cameraman says 'NO DEAL'!

Banker's offer:

£10,000

What's the harm in offering £12k+ here? He won't.

Jodie begins to well up, so Noel gives her a free tissue! The cameraman reappears in a wheelchair! He then bangs his eye on the eyepiece! Noel says they'll have to put him down at this rate!

Back to the game, and Jodie's father says £10,000 is a lot of money for someone like her, but it's her decision. Her boyfriend is then revealed to owe her £4! He says it's a really strong board.

Jodie says:

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

Yep, there's less chance of her going past 8 box with big money in play than Beryl winning a blue.

I wonder if that £4 is going to be in the next few offers.

According to Mark, Sean was going to be the most cautious player ever and was definitely dealing at 8 box.

My favourite incorrect prediction by Mark yesterday was when he predicted there would be a 4th advert break.

Hey Mark, if you're wrong about Jodie being cautious and dealing early, will you agree to go one game without predicting that a player is going to be cautious or that a player is going to go on one box at a time?

I know it's a lot to ask since you've done one of those two things in every game you've ever commented on but come on, be a sport.
