Is there such a thing as dealing too early? | Deal or No Deal

[00:00:00]He wants me. He wants that.

[00:00:04]Oh, you do care.

[00:00:06]Oh, I see. Okay, [music] he says.

[00:00:09]If we're asking him to pay for your new career, he cares about it a lot.

[00:00:14]>> [laughter] >> Yes, you had contingency [music] in your game and you don't have that anymore.

[00:00:25]He says, that round didn't answer any questions. In fact, when you look at it and you think about your ambitions and the probability with the game, etc., etc., it probably just poses the same question again.

[00:00:38]Which then sets us up for him sticking at 8888.

[00:00:43]>> [snorts] [applause] [applause] >> 10 of them would now deal at 8888.

[00:01:01]>> Remember the conversations we've had.

[00:01:04]How you felt inside.

[00:01:05]>> Amazing. It's amazing, money.

[00:01:07]It's amazing.

[00:01:09]Just going home and tell my son that I've got this money.

[00:01:13]>> [laughter] >> Thank you, Mom.

[00:01:15]Let's go.

[00:01:17]>> [sighs and gasps] >> I want to take Tom to Australia.

[00:01:21]>> Yeah.

[00:01:21]>> That's the place he wants to go. He loves animals. And he says in Australia, they've got the koalas, the kangaroos, everything.

[00:01:29]And I promised him, "Mommy, brings any money home, I'll take you there."

[00:01:34]>> Well, now you've got to consider that actually you could have a blue five box.

[00:01:41]>> Surely, I would take a blue wow.

[00:01:44]>> We thought that last time.

[00:01:45]>> Yes.

[00:01:47]>> Philippa?

[00:01:48]>> Yes.

[00:01:48]>> In recent games when people have had a thought, well, they felt something about a box, they've been right. And I've watched you and you just keep looking at that eight box.

[00:01:56]>> Yeah.

[00:01:57]>> And I'll just just, you know, I know it's a lot of money and it is a risk.

[00:02:02]But you've got that feeling.

[00:02:03]>> [sighs] >> Yeah.

[00:02:07]>> Full of power.

[00:02:08]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:02:09]>> David had box 13 and he knew it last time.

[00:02:16]>> Yes.

[00:02:17]>> He did.

[00:02:18]>> Full of power. He says sit in the chair and look at the board.

[00:02:20]>> I'm sorry.

[00:02:22]I will, Mr. Banker. [music] >> He says we're going to take a break. You are going to spend the whole break staring at something very, very important.

[00:02:37]Your son.

[00:02:39]SEE YOU SHORTLY.

[00:05:12]>> Originally Portugal.

[00:05:14]>> Came here 7-8 years ago and there is her son Thomas. And the banker ordered you to stare at him because he is your reason, reason for being.

[00:05:26]>> Yes.

[00:05:27]>> You said ever since he came into your life you felt as if your life was fulfilled, your life had a significance and purpose and he has been enormous support to you.

[00:05:36]>> Ah.

[00:05:36]>> [sighs] >> Trying to get you a career in nursing as well.

[00:05:40]>> Yes.

[00:05:40]>> As giving him the chance to go to Australia.

[00:05:44]So, we're talking about a lot of money.

[00:05:50]>> I'm ready for the question.

[00:05:52]>> £8,888 again.

[00:05:57]Deal or no deal?

[00:06:01]>> Deal.

[00:06:05]>> [applause and music] [music] [applause] >> Who knows what would have happened if you had had the courage to go on?

[00:06:21]Or maybe it was actually the foolishness to go on.

[00:06:25]>> [music] >> Here we go.

[00:06:27]>> Right.

[00:06:27]>> Come on.

[00:06:28]Play it out with honesty and with a massive breakdown in money.

[00:06:33]>> 20, [music] Sophie.

[00:06:35]>> Sophie, you've got one of the big two. I know you have. Make it 100,000 and she will start smiling again.

[00:06:42]>> Here we go, my darling.

[00:06:45]>> Oh, no. No, no, no.

[00:06:48]Please don't do a blue round now.

[00:06:51]You were round about that £8,000-£10,000 if we don't find 50 and 100,000, you will break away from that big time.

[00:06:59]>> I would go for number 17, Shelley.

[00:07:03]>> Shelley, away we go for £100,000, please.

[00:07:06]>> Shelley. Give me the 100.

[00:07:09]>> No.

[00:07:11]No, no. We would have been ecstatic and delighted for you.

[00:07:15]Philippa, we would have been over the moon. The nursing career got closer and closer. All the other things for your son. Please do not find another blue.

[00:07:23]>> I was going to go for number nine, Gaza.

[00:07:27]>> Gaza, if you do not have the 100,000, incredibly if you got 50 we'd be pleased, but if you don't have the 100,000, she's made a mistake. PLEASE HAVE IT.

[00:07:40]>> [cheering] [applause] >> WOW.

[00:07:47]>> [applause] >> CAN I [applause] GET >> YOU CUT THAT A BIT FINE, didn't you? Cut that a bit fine.

[00:07:55]You had us all worrying for you enormously there.

[00:07:59]Hello.

[00:08:02]Oi.

[00:08:04]He would have halved you to 4444.

[00:08:08]>> [applause] >> Come on. FIND THE 50,000. [cheering] YOU CAN [applause] DO IT.

[00:08:16]>> I'LL GO FOR NUMBER 10, NICK.

[00:08:18]>> 10, NICK. You've got 50,000. I know you have.

[00:08:22]NO.

[00:08:23]150. TWO SHOTS AT IT. TWO SHOTS at it now. Don't find two blues.

[00:08:31]If the next two are blue, you denied yourself a guaranteed 10,000 pounds.

[00:08:35]>> Okay. [music] >> And potentially standing right behind us is 50 grand.

[00:08:41]So, come on.

[00:08:43]Find it.

[00:08:44]>> I would go for number 12.

[00:08:47]>> Jess.

[00:08:47]>> Beautiful, Jess.

[00:08:48]>> Oh, you have a reputation. Please live up to it.

[00:08:52]>> Okay.

[00:08:55]>> No.

[00:08:55]No.

[00:08:56]>> Oh, what? The one time I could have done the dance and got it the wrong time.

[00:08:59]>> Yeah.

[00:09:00]A little bit selfish there, Jess. It was just oh, could have had a dance.

[00:09:04]>> [laughter] >> You know what? I've never I've never had a dance.

[00:09:09]>> I know. I know what she meant. She's lovely. But it was just that [laughter] thing. Rather than pointing out that you are now just a smidge away from a total [snorts] unmitigated disaster, she was more focusing on the fact she wasn't going to get a dance. Focus on the fact that possibly Thomas, your son, would have been set up for ages with wonderful things in his life. Oh, please. Please prove you didn't lose out on 50 grand, did you? It's got to be Phil, isn't it?

[00:09:36]Because you were always going to keep Phil. Come on, let's have one of your really dramatic rapid openings.

[00:09:41]>> This is a nice big red.

[00:09:43]>> Come on.

[00:09:44]>> A nice big red. It's got to be the NICE BIG RED.

[00:09:52]YOU WERE GUARANTEED 10,000 pounds. Think of all the people that would have loved a climax to the game like that. And now we're wondering Philippa, did you actually choose box number four, our fourth most valuable summer money, the 50,000? Is that what is sitting there?

[00:10:13]>> Oh, dear.

[00:10:15]>> Jess, don't worry. He did the dance for you.

[00:10:18]Oh, he looks like a blancmange in a wind tunnel when he starts singing.

[00:10:22]>> [laughter] >> He's priding himself, polishing himself.

[00:10:28]I got her to look at a photograph of her little boy, and she just crumbled.

[00:10:33]Victory to the bank guys.

[00:10:38]Wait.

[00:10:41]You would have been offered the swap.

[00:10:43]And at this point 26,000 pounds.

[00:10:49]He would have had to get the governor out. Just imagine.

[00:10:54]You'd been playing so tenaciously, in such a focused fashion, so determined to get the money so you could change your life.

[00:11:02]And would you have gone for the swap?

[00:11:03]>> Yes.

[00:11:05]>> And so we will.

[00:11:06]Let's find out.

[00:11:08]Thank you, Claudia.

[00:11:11]Thank you.

[00:11:12]Eight. Remind us why eight has meant so much to you.

[00:11:16]>> Eight is my mom and my son. They both is on 8th of December.

[00:11:22]My birthday is on the 26th of November.

[00:11:24]So, 2 + 6 8. My father who passed away.

[00:11:31]His birthday was in August.

[00:11:33]Eight again.

[00:11:35]So, I think this is would be my special number in box.

[00:11:42]>> Philippa, the number eight has dominated your game.

[00:11:48]To start with, a very fiery approach was dominant in your game. And then, then came that crucial moment in our last commercial break where he insisted [music] that you stared at the picture of Thomas.

[00:12:06]And I think from that moment, you had to [music] think about a more modest achievement today. With all of the significance of eight, should you have gone for it? Because today was a life-changing day.

[00:12:22]Yep. Eight is a powerful number for you, and your belief in eight should remain.
