Noel does a rather strange introduction today in his paint-splattered shirt, starting by screaming the intro and finishing on a whisper! Has the big win of Laura's finally got to him!!
Noel talks about how hyped up everyone is in the studio and talks about the roller coaster winnings this week and uses his 'Noel logic' to predict that after Don's low win yesterday we will have a BIG win today! Hopefully he has not just jinxed today's game!
It's Jasmine's turn at the 'Pound table' and she has box 1 today, Noel points out another first for the show, as Jasmine is the first pregnant contestant, she is due in about one month. We learn that Jasmine has her own recruitment company, and she wonders how the banker will handle her pregnant hormones!
Round 1
13 - £50 Big cheers for the blue
21 - 50p more cheers
Gabrielle next and Jasmine gets her lucky feather, those slippers must be getting bare by now!!
5 - £5,000
3 - £500 There is a spooky 5 theme running here
10 - 1p BIG cheers for the 1p
Noel talks about the roller coaster of winnings again, and asks if the banker was at the birth of any of his children, he says he only has one and he doesn't talk to him as he is a charity worker! He says he wasn't at the birth as he wasn't sure if he was at the conception! He then makes an opening offer of 12lb 3oz! Which in real money is £12,300
Jasmine says that is an amazing offer, and Noel says it's an amazing board, Jasmine says
NO DEAL.
Round 2
12 - £5 Big cheers for the blue and the 5 theme continues!!
14 - £750 more cheers and Noel wonders if Jasmine is going to pull out an all blue round
8 - £250 BIG cheers as Jasmine does indeed get an all blue round
Noel says this is unbelievable, the banker wants to know how come Jasmine is pregnant but he is the one doing all the deep breathing! He offers £24,600. The offer gets a great reception and Noel says this is the most powerful board since... well he can't remember...
Noel says to remember how many games have gone wrong in the very next round after refusing a large offer, but also it's still a very strong board, Jasmine says
NO DEAL
Round 3
22 - £100,000 Groan as the first power 5 goes
Jasmine goes to Sarah who says she thinks Jasmine has a good value in 1
4 - £35,000 few more groans
2 - £10 Big cheers
We needed that last one says Noel, the banker refers back to Matt's game and how after a similar powerful start went away with £5,000, the banker then offers £20,000
Noel goes to Bunney who says he is worried that there are only 3 higher amounts in play, but he would go on, Stuart says that the banker has been too comfortable over the past couple of days and Jasmine needs a final BIG push to knock him into the real world! Jasmine then does her own sweep of the audience and most say NO DEAL. Jasmine says
NO DEAL
Round 4
15 - £75,000 BIG groans followed by silence as another of the power 5 goes
Chants of BLUE BLUE BLUE start
17 - £250,000 Well that dreams over says Noel! As the whole studio falls silent
Jasmine wants chants of Blue from the audience now..
7 - £10,000
The banker calls and offers £10,000, Andrew reminds Jasmine about Don's game yesterday where he still had the £50,000 on the board and it went in the very wrong in the very next round,
Jasmine says
NO DEAL.
Round 5
20 - £1,000
Chants of BLUE start
9 - £1 the whole studio goes wild
More chants
6 - £15,000 Groans, but Noel says it's OK
Noel tells the banker that it was brave to go on and Jasmine looks as though she is prepared to go on again... The banker offers £14,600, Stuart points out that a piece of Laura's confetti has just fallen from the ceiling and wonders if it is a good omen. Noel says he didn't know about the confetti cannons installed in the roof and he was shocked when they went off in Laura's game!! Jasmine says
DEAL
Round 6 - Proveout round
16 - £100 The pilgrims start to cheer and Noel says NO!! It's not OK, it would have been if still in active play
19 - 10p Shock and gasps on that one...
18 - £50,000 Big cheers for that one
It's time for the banker with £20,000 and £3,000 remaining and he would have offered £9,000, Jasmine would have said DEAL.
Noel opens Jasmines box 1 and reveals £20,000, box 11 contains £3,000 with Newbie Richard.
Noel mentions Sarah's prediction earlier in the game where she said that she had a feeling that Jasmine had a high value in her box, it looks as though Noel may start making a big point of Sarah's predictions from now on. As the credits roll Noel points out that since Laura had the jackpot win on Sunday he has beaten every player that has come to the table!
