Deal or No Deal

This month we saw Carnie and Garlogie take on the banker in their own episodes of Deal of No Deal.  We cannot fault the sportsmanship and perseverance of both houses – well done!

January’s House Challenges and results

Easterskene were first to take on ‘Deal or No Deal.’  Matilda and Daniel B played a fantastic game, keeping the Banker on her toes every step of the way.  With a nail-biting ending and the team deciding ‘No Deal’ for the final offer, they were faced with winning either ‘4’ or ‘100’ House Points.  Perhaps they should have taken the swap as they came away with 4 house points which the Banker kindly rounded up to 10.  The whole house demonstrated excellent sportsmanship and resilience – well done everyone!
