It’s Penny’s turn in the crazy chair today, and she has box 19. Penny tells Noel a little of where she has and now lives, apparently she moves around a lot. Penny likes a wink, so Noel wants a wink after every box... Noel points out that whenever Penny has been asked for advice she has never said deal, so he says it will be interesting to see how she plays her game today. She introduces us to her Swedish friend who is in the audience for support today...
Round 1
Penny is going for 22 as the number has played so much in her life and time on the show.

Noel asks how Penny is choosing her numbers, and she replies she likes the curly numbers!
10 - £100,000
What a stinker of an opening round says Noel. The banker tells Noel that he is worried about him, and Noel says he's just got something that is going around. The banker sends out a gift for Noel and it's a chair with a cushion on, with grapes and some cold medicine, there is also a get well soon card with a little poem for him. The banker wonders if the Penny that was always saying NO DEAL was the real Penny, or a just a show that was put on for him... He makes an opening offer of £3,689, it’s all the curly numbers that Penny likes! Penny says
NO DEAL
Round 2
3 - £15,000 More groans

Penny says she is not lying down easily here. The banker says the 2 high numbers are very isolated now, and offers £5,000. Noel says this is another of the banker's clever offers as it's an amount that is still in play at the moment, Penny says
NO DEAL

Noel comments that Penny is still smiling, and Penny replies that she can still get a flat with the £75,000 on the board, and Noel replies maybe a motorhome. The Banker offers £3,000, and Penny replies it's quite a fair offer. Penny says
NO DEAL

Noel asks Penny what she is thinking, and she replies she is still out for the £75,000. The banker says that Penny's box is likely to have one of the other amounts, and offers £4,000. Noel turns to Penny's friend, who says that Penny knows what 19 means, and Noel asks what the 19 means. Noel tries to guess, but Penny won't reveal anything! Penny says
