Noel says we are still savouring Paul's game from yesterday and describes it as a classic. Hopefully Noel will learn something from Paul's game and not launch into his early rants that he has been doing of late when people deal!!!
It's Bindya's turn at the pound table today and she has box 9. Bindya is from London and has 2 children who we get to see some pics of, she also has a little note from her husband and it's to open up if she gets stuck with a decision, it has "Blame the husband" written on it! Noel asks if we should call her Bindya or her new name, he then gets out a new nametag with Geoff written on it!! Noel tells us the story of how she got the name after a night at the bar in the hotel with Georgina's partner.
Bindya is a little nervous and gets everyone to have a shake to relax
Round 1
4 - £3,000
2 - 10p
Julian next and Noel says he doesn't like ANY of Julian's outfits!!! Which receives boos from everyone
20 - 50p
13 - £100,000
Noel asks if Bindya would ever choose someone as they were famous but in disguise!! Noel then gets a cuddly toy cat and a postman’s hat and puts them on Brian!! He says he looks like postman pat!!
3 - £10
Noel says it's a shame about the £100,000 but apart from that it’s looking a good board. The banker is not feeling well after Paul's game yesterday, he is also worried about Geoff!! He thinks he knows what is in the envelope that her husband gave her and he is going to tell Noel who will write his prediction in the book for later to see if he is right. The banker then offers £9,500, Bindya says
NO DEAL
Round 2
19 - £20,000 That is greeted with silence
17 - £1,000
Noel calls a break and says there are 2 firsts in this game, the first time the banker has made any prediction in the book and also the first time Noel has thought anyone would walk at the first offer!! Noel says that Bindya is not feeling very confident at the moment even though she has a strong board. Bindya asks for another wiggle
12 - £50
That's what we needed says Noel, the banker says he is in difficulty as he did a wobble and a wiggle!! His butler is now trying to stop the aftershocks!!! The banker thinks he nearly got Bindya at the first offer and now offers £13,000, Noel asks if there is any interest in the offer, everyone says NO DEAL. Bindya says
NO DEAL
Round 3
14 - £500 Newbie Steven
15 - £1
18 - 1p
Bindya gets an all blue round and loves it, Noel says it's funny how the whole game has changed lately and now most players are more concerned about knocking out the 1p rather than winning the £250,000... The banker calls and offers £22,000. Noel runs through the board and says it's VERY strong, Jack says its time to be careful now as the money is getting big, but he says there is one more round in the game. Bindya says
NO DEAL
Round 4
5 - £250
1 - £750
Noel builds up the tension now saying that was 6 blues in a row and it would be astonishing to get 7.
Blue chants start
22 - £250,000
It's a serious knock says Noel and we need to re focus on the £75,000 now. The banker offers £12,500, he says that offer was because everyone dismissed the other offer too quickly! Bindya says
NO DEAL
Round 5
6 - £10,000 Noel asks everyone to make some noise as that was OK
BLUE chants start
7 - £15,000 It's OK says Noel
10 - £5
The banker phones VERY quickly and offers £26,000. Noel talks about the influence of the £26,000 offer over the past month or so. He then asks the audience to stand if they would NO DEAL, about half do. Noel asks is it time to open the envelope, Bindya says I wear the trousers in the relationship though! She opens the envelope and says it's spooky!! She holds it up to the camera and it says DEAL. Noel shows us the banker’s predication and it says DEAL. Noel asks if Bindya's husband is the banker!! Bindya says
DEAL
Round 6 - Prove out round
8 - £100 Shocked reactions from the pilgrims
11 - £50,000 cheers from the pilgrims
16 - £5,000 Disaster, absolute disaster says Noel!!!
It's time for the banker with £35,000 and £75,000 remaining; the banker calls and says he would have offered £52,000. Noel says the trouser wearer of the household got it wrong and has made a mistake and Bindya could have won double what she dealt at. Noel says that the banker has cracked it again with his clever pitch of £26,000. Bindya says that just after her first show she went back to the hotel and wrote £75,000 on a piece of paper and she now thinks it's in her box!! Noel says that she has a big regret now and the belief of that didn't carry her through today’s game.
Noel opens box 9 and reveals £75,000!! There are gasps of shock all around the studio and Bindya says why didn't I go for you.... Box 21 contains the £35,000
Noel says however lets end on an up and the £26,000 will allow her to visit her aunty in Canada and make one of her dreams come true.
Noel closes out the show saying there are some big regrets after today’s show and the banker is being really clever lately with the use of his £26,000 which seems to put a lot of contestants in a tricky situation.
