"Episode 8" -
March 1
Last night, Cheryl Jackson started
off strong, turning down a deal for $172,000, only to come away
with five dollars after turning down a deal from the banker for
$2. Tonight, Mark Adrian, a doctor from San Diego, continues his
quest toward $1.5 million, up from the usual $1 million we try
to give away a night.
But first, another reminder. Tonight,
the show will sweeten the pot AGAIN with a top prize of $2,000,000!
That will take effect with our next contestant...
But back to Mark. This is how the
board looked as we closed the last show...

As you can see, three of the
heavy seven are still in play, including $1.5 million, with a 27
percent chance of him holding at least $100,000 in case #13.
Eleven cases remaining... Three

Walt & Manny (Mark's brothers)
think that the bank is lowballing the offer... The question to
Mark... "Deal or no deal?" Mark is still holding the button...
Closing it! No deal!
Two to open...
Case 14 (Mylinda) |
$5 |
Case 6 (Megan) |
$50,000 |
It's still okay, because the big
money is still on the board, and the banker knows this.
Therefore, he offers... to Walt... who offers it to Mark....

This would wipe Mark's student loans off the chart. Manny tells
him that there's only one case to pick in the next round...
NO DEAL! One to go...
Case 12 (Jill) |
Landmine....
$1,500,000 |
You know the banker's gotta be
rubbing his hands in glee right now. He rings in with... "Thank
you, doctor. I'm feeling better."

With one case to open next, will
Mark take the money and run? There's a 25 percent chance that
Mark is holding $300,000. The crowd says no... Mark says yes.
Deal for $64,000!
Had he continued, he would've
revealed $1000, and gotten a bank offer for $90,000. Then, a
reveal of $300,000. Needless to say, $50 for $64,000 is a great
deal.
New round, board is reset, the
values are reshuffled, and new player is ready. Here comes...
Cindy Pridgen! She's from San Diego, and she's a homemaker,
because she recently got fired... Long story, and this is a
family show, SO...
She will not be playing for $1
million... She won't be playing for $1.5 million. Tonight, Howie
is rolling out the big bucks... $2 million! Your new board is...

Now it may be time to think...
Mike says to push the button. Cindy's a wreck right now... She
pushes! Deal for $407,000! We have a new record tonight!
But, had she went on, she
would've revealed... $5. The bank's offer then... $692,000. Then
she would've revealed $75,000, driving the bank offer to
$1,000,000. So what was in #9?
Only 75. She made a terrific
deal!
Okay, the board is reset yet
again. Time for a new player. Here comes Sherman Mitchell, a
single father of an 11-year-old. He works with criminal
rehabilitation. But let's see some monetary rehabilitation
today. He's playing for $2 mill also...
He takes #14 from Mylinda. Is it
the multi-million dollar case? We'll find out soon enough... Six
