You know, I do hate it when the greedy idiots in the audience who say "no deal" are right. That woman who shouted no deal to £27,000 immediately after Noel said the offer obviously thinks money grows on trees.

This is what Noel Edmonds said on his official website about his contract status.

DoND Contract

Yet again the Daily Mail has printed total lies relating to my professional and personal lives. The story about me signing a new £3 million contract is total and utter rubbish. I am very happy with the current contractual arrangements which see me hosting DoND until the end of September this year. Long may the success continue for our fabulous team in Bristol.


So he is only contracted until the end of September!! Shocked

MADNESS!! SIGN HIM UP!

Agree. One thing I think Deal or No Deal really does is make you appreciate the value of money and how different amounts can do different things for different people.

The most obvious example is Saj a few weeks ago - who in the end I think got £50,000 - but basically wanted a few thousand so she could give up work to be at home with her daughter.


My advice would always be it's better to go one deal too early rather than one deal too late! It's better to lose and go home with a few thousand rather than lose and go home with a few quid!


Another thing annoying me - the people who say "No comment" when they do the sweep.

I have no idea why Aaron didn't deal at 30K today! I was screaming at the telly, it was a fantastic offer! And no-one in the audience said deal!

Nice to see he did well though, he seems a nice chap.

A great show today - been waiting ages for the banker to break the £10,000 barrier with the first offer - but didn't think he'd do it by that much.

All things considered if I'd been playing I'd have rejected the £30,000 offer - and he was right to take the £25,000 too.

The thing with the game is you always have to be able to look two deals ahead, so if the next round goes wrong you can recover in the following round. At £30k the game was recoverable - at £25k it wasn't!

And of course whenver the banker comes in with a high offer you always have to consider that he'd probably still be able to afford to lower it even if you have a seemingly decent round!

Aaron played. Opening offer was £15,000 following on from an all-blue opening round. Followed by two blues and £10k, offered £30,000. Can't remember the rest but dealt at £25k with 5p and a big one. Turned out to be 5p.

That's all I can remember. Sorry.

To expand on that - in the third round Aaron, having only lost the £10k on the RHS in the first two rounds, lost the £250,000 and the offer dropped to £12,000.

At the end of the fourth round with only £50k, £75k and £100k higher than the offer Aaron took the deal for £25,000.

Round 5 saw him loses the £100k and the offer drop to £18,000 - with 50p and £20k remaining at the end and an offer of £5,000. The box had 50p.

I was watching Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe the other day and he was explaining the differences between the American version of DOND and the British one.

I.e. The British version is a typical old-fashioned tea and crumpets affair - with the old 1920's phone and traditional boxes whereas the American version involves various 'ladies' carrying numbered briefcases and the host walks around with a mobile telephone. Laughing

If Deal or No Deal was primetime I think it would be more like the US version, but the fact that the people opening the boxes are contestants as they root for the contestant.

Lucy's time finally came! Unfortunately, the veteran of 50 shows (where today it was proved that selection is not random, as a souvenir '50' box had been prepared, as well as two of Lucy's old friends from the show waiting in the wings) went home with £5. She failed to deal throughout, and fell at the final hurdle when her box contained what she didn't want to see, in favour of £10k.

Oh well, at least she got to spend 50 hours with Noel... Rolling Eyes
