Noel talks about Dan's game yesterday and how he played the perfect game. He discusses how the offer of £10,000 is working for the banker lately, and advises the contestants to watch out for that tactic!
It’s Usha’s turn to take the walk of wealth today, and she does so with 9. Usha has her husband in the audience for support today, and Noel talks about how she arrived in the country years ago with only £3 in her pocket, and how the weather must have been a huge shock for her, she replies it was as she arrived in December! Noel says Usha is already in the hall of fame as the person to bring the most good luck charms with her! Everyone gets a red mark put on their forehead, and Usha explains the meaning of the mark for them all.
Round 1
Usha goes with 13 first, as she doesn't feel the number is unlucky
13 - £250,000 Now you know why we think it's unlucky says Noel
5 - £35,000
10 - 50p
8 - £500
4 - £750
Usha thinks there is still one more box to go in the round! The banker talks about sheriff Usha as she had the badge yesterday in the Independence Day special… He offers £6,100… Usha tells Noel NO DEAL even before he asks the question, and this confuses both Noel and the banker who phones to find out what is happening!! Usha says
NO DEAL
Round 2
14 - £250
19 - £100
2 - 10p Newbie Jon
A nice all blue round for Usha… The banker is feeling left out, as he is the only one who hasn't got his mark from Usha, and she tells him that he will have to come out and show his face first!! The Banker offers £7,500… Usha says that is not much, especially after an all blue round, and she reckons he is playing mind games with her... Usha says
NO DEAL
Round 3
18 - £5 That's 7 blues in a row now says Noel, and one more she will be the first lady to get 8 in a row.
21 - £75,000 Groans for that
1 - £20,000
That was disappointing says Noel, and Usha replies that there is no point in crying over spilt milk... The banker wants to thank Norman for the £75,000! He then offers
£7,500… Usha chooses her next box before Noel even gets the chance to ask the question! The banker calls and says he is confused again!!! Usha says
NO DEAL
Round 4
15 - £50,000 OH NO that isn't what we wanted says Noel
It's a one-box game for the mega money now says Noel, as the £100,000 is very exposed...
22 - £1,000
11 - £10,000
You are a good reader of the game says Noel, and he asks Usha what he thinks the banker will do. Usha thinks he will stick again, but Noel is not so sure... The banker loves the way the game changes as it plays out, a moment ago Usha was on a long run of blues, and now it's changed to a run of reds!! He offers £7,500… Usha is correct in her prediction... Alan says this is a difficult one to decide on, and it will depend on her attitude to gambling. Usha's husband says it's up to her how she plays the game now... Usha says
NO DEAL
Round 5
3 - £5,000
16 - 1p Big cheers and applause for that one
17 - £15,000
You have created quite a finale here says Noel, and he thinks this next offer is unprecedented!! The Banker sticks again! He offers £7,500… Usha says it is now a gamble board... She goes to her husband, who replies it's very dangerous... Mike tells her there is a chance of a lot of money on offer, and she only came to the country with £3 and see what she made for herself with that, so even with a £1 win who knows what she could do… Usha says
DEAL
Round 6 - Proveout round
We have to find the £100,000 now says Noel
20 - £1 It would have been the perfect start says Noel
12 - £50 Groans for that one
6 - £100,000 There are cheers all around
It’s time for The Banker with £10 and £3,000 remaining, and he says if that last box were £3,000 he would have offered £7,500!! He would have offered £750…
Noel opens box 9 and reveals £10
Box 7 contains the £3,000
