"Episode 7" -
February 28
Last night, Peter Montesanti, a SWAT
officer from Las Vegas, closed a deal for a record amount for
this version of the show... $359,000! Can Cheryl Jackson, a
pastor from Plano, TX, close a similar deal? If you remember,
she chose case 16, and opened 11 so far, as she awaits an offer
from the Bank...
But first, a reminder. Tonight,
the show will sweeten the pot with a top prize of $1,500,000!
That top prize hasn't been revealed YET.
And it won't be, because we're
not ready for that... YET. First, the Banker's offer...

Will Cheryl play on for a larger
amount? Let's ask her team... The team: baby brother Darius,
sister Chandra, baby sister Lynette, and husband Artis. Darius
is an account manager. He says $31,000 isn't enough. "NO DEAL!"
What does Cheryl say? "Last time, you told me the Banker went
home early, so I had to work overtime. You tell the banker that
this is going to be the biggest overtime check he's EVER going
to write. NO DEAL!"
Four to go... And the whole
church is here to cheer her on.
| Case 10 (Patricia) |
$500,000 |
| Case 6 (Megan) |
$1,000 |
| Case 23 (Aubrie) |
PENNY CASE! |
| Case 20 (Ingrid) |
Slowly....
$50 |
The congregation is on their
feet... The banker... is on the line. He's intimidated by the
million on the board, ergo this offer...

Still three cases to go and three
huge amounts to lose... The church says "no deal"... "Last
night, I had beef and I was broke. Tonight, I'm going to have
steak and I'll be rich. It is NO DEAL!"
So we have three to open
| Case 3 (Lisa) |
Lisa looks genuinely
dejected, and rightly so...
$1,000,000 |
| Case 24 (Nancy) |
$50,000 |
| Case 17 (Donna) |
$500 |
It's alrighty, still two amounts
left of any worth as the banker calls with this...
Howie: "He says that the board
looks a little complicated, so he needs to do a little more
work. And a little more work takes a little more time..."
Cheryl: "Come on, Howie..."
Howie: "You know what I'm about to do?"
Cheryl: "I know what you're about to do!"
Howie: "What am I going to do?"
Cheryl: "You're gonna go to a commercial!"
Howie: "RIGHT!"
After which we see the bank's
offer... Down a bit...

Everyone says "No deal"... There's a 25 percent chance that
Cheryl is holding at least $300,000, and that said, it's a No
Deal...
Two to go...
| Case 8 (Tamara) |
$400 |
| Case 11
(Katie) |
$5,000 |

figures, he's offering..

amounts... No deal for Cheryl!
Open another case, please.

Cheryl is still jubilant, saying
"No Deal"... "Money doesn't make me happy." But there's one more
offer... Howie offers to switch cases... she doesn't. In the
end, she ends up with the biggest amount on the board... $5. But
money doesn't make you happy, so in that, she's a winner... In
that.
But still, we press on. The board
is reset, the values are reshuffled, and we need a new player...
Mark Adrian! He's a doctor from San Diego, practicing internal
medicine. He deals with the indigent population of San Diego, so
he doesn't get paid that much. He needs the money to pay off
student loans...
He'll play for that and then
some. Remember when I said that the pay-to-play was going up?
Here it comes! The $1,000,000 is now $1,500,000! Your new board
is...
