Player: Jenni- has box 17

Noel talks up Nick's 'great, brave comeback' and his 'extraordinary swap'. Jenni has to 'follow that!'. She's a prison officer and comes bearing a lucky charm, in red. 'I'm going to have a red in my box.'

We get under way...

Box 9 - £5
Box 3 - £20,000. She says it's fine.
Box 2 - £75,000! 'That is definitely not fine.'
Box 6 (Robbie) - £50,000! 'This is turning into a dreadful opening round!'
Box 1 - £10. 'Much more like it!'

Banker says he is confident after one game that was a disaster and one that should have been... Noel says that it wasn't so he shouldn't be confident!

Banker's offer:

£2,400

Jenni says considering the start that isn't terrible, but NO DEALS anyway...

Box 8 (Arlette) - £10,000. Jenni says it's OK, Noel says she has the red mist...
Box 11 (Gill) - £1! 'That's definitely OK!'

Box 12 (Vaughan) - £100,000! Jenni says that hurt, Noel points out £250,000 is still there but 'very exposed'... the Banker says he'd like to see Jenni very exposed!! He says he believes she is scared this game will be a brief encounter!!

Banker's offer:

£1,900

This offer angers everyone, and NO DEAL is the predictable decision. 'I think we have a battle on our hands now... he really isn't taking your game seriously!'

Noel says there's only one way to make the Banker change his mind and that's a round with no big numbers...

Box 21 (Alan) - 1p! 'Still, nobody in that club!'
Box 4 (Miguel) - £1,000. 'That's fine!' Jenni declares. 'Yes, absolutely fine!'
Box 7 (Julie) - £750. 'Great round!'

The Banker says he has to take Jenni seriously or he might find his assets stripped

Banker's offer:

£6,900

Arlette says the Banker is being very naughty! Noel wonders 'what depravity might come from the Banker's sick, twisted and juvenile mind next'... Jenni says NO DEAL

Box 16 - 50p! 'Great start...'
Box 15 - £3,000! 'Suddenly, this game is looking so much stronger - it really has been a creeper... and that's just the Banker! Come back after the break to find out who will get spooked first!'

Box 22 (Dave) - £100! Dave rushes over to give Jenni a hug... 'Dave, I know you just helped her game but you could at least have been a little more subtle than that!' Laughter.

The Banker admits it's time to take this game seriously...

Banker's offer:

£17,500

Jenni looks slightly surprised. Terry says that's not a bad offer and that there is quite a high chance of taking out £250,000. Noel says that if she doesn't, the next offer will be massive, but the only guarantee is the offer... Dave says that's more than Nick won...

Jenni decides to DEAL!

Noel points out that's the first time in a while someone hasn't gone to the end, and hopes that it was the right choice...

Box 5 - 10p. 'Would have been perfect.'
Box 14 - £250,000! Big cheers! 'That is exactly what we wanted to see!'

Box 19 - £15,000! 'Such a devastating round!' The Banker points out that £35,000 is still there but admits it looks good for Jenni...

Banker's offer:

£5,500

Noel says that it may not yet be the right Deal at the right time, and that we need £35,000 to prove that it was...

Box 18 - £50
Box 13 - £5,000. 'Safety net gone...'
Box 10 - £250! '£35,000 is still in the game...'

Banker's offer would've been:

£18,000

Gasps of horror. 'Not quite the right Deal at the right time...' Terry points out it was above the mean and would never have been offered, so Jenni has beaten the Banker if there is £500 in the box - audience cheer wildly!

Box 17 is opened and contains £500! 'Well the Banker might disagree but I think everyone else would say you beat him!' Box 20 had £35,000.

Jenni says the money will do a lot for her, and Noel says that's what the show is all about and hopes for more of the same tomorrow...

We need more people like Terry around these days - wish I'd seem more of him as he sounds like a legend but I've only seen 3 shows (Jeff the Clown, 1p Nick and Dave) where he featured, as I didn't watch the show back then......

And and well done Jenni on the OPW!
