Noel says we are at the bottom of the courage curve at the moment, he mentions Alfie's and Paul's games in this talk about courage and by having a little more they could have gone away with so much more, he wants to see more courage from the players...
It's Thanh's turn to take the walk of wealth and she has box 6 today, Noel says it's going to be a very individual game today as Thanh is the only person to put her box on the table the way she did... We learn about how Thanh and how her family arrived here from Vietnam, she has her partner Neil with her in the audience and also has a system that is not revealed to us...

18 - £100,000
Thanh asks for box 8 next and Noel asks what is going on, as with all the notes that Thanh is making she should be able to keep track of how many boxes that have been opened... The banker thinks Thanh is out of here depth, he says that because Thanh keeps touching her face she is not comfortable at the moment, Thanh says no it's because she has a spot coming!!! The banker offers £6,123, Thanh wonders what the 123 means in the offer, she's told it could be to help her keep count to 3... Thanh says
NO DEAL

Noel tells the banker we have colour clusters and they are being mapped, the banker points out that game is random and offers £12,100. Thanh goes to stats man Ryan who says it's OK to carry on at the moment, Noel asks Julie about her thoughts on the stats, she says 36-24-36! Thanh says

Noel asks Sarah if she gets any feeling off her box, she says that she feels the £75,000 is in the other remaining box 9, Thanh goes with Sarah and box 13
13 - £250 Big cheers
It's time for the banker with £75,000 and £750 remaining in the game.
Noel tells the banker that Thanh is still in the battle with him in this game, and the banker offers £20,000. Thanh says she is confident that the £75,000 is in her box, but it would also take a long time for her to earn the £20,000 being offered. Her partner says it's 50/50 and Jasmine agrees but also says that Thanh is confident that the £75,000 is in front of her. Thanh says
NO DEAL.
There are BIG cheers for the decision and Noel says she is showing great courage. The banker calls back and offers Thanh the chance to swap her box with the remaining box to test both Thanh's system and Sarah's thought's of box 9 having the £75,000!
Thanh says she always said she would stick with her box if given the choice and says
NO SWAP
Noel opens Thanh's box 6 and reveals £750! Box 9 contains the £75,000.
Sarah is proved right in her prediction and looks distraught at the outcome of the game, Thanh takes the result very well.
Noel gets his wish of a contestant showing great courage in their game after his pre-game speech, although it doesn't get the outcome that we all would have hoped for! It will be interesting to hear his opening banter in tomorrow's game after the outcome from this game.
