"Episode 11" -
March 6
Last week, bigger money meant bigger
deals. A few players capitalized on that to walk home with
almost a million dollars. Now we're back to regular money, but
that doesn't mean it's less exciting.
Let's see how exciting this gets
with our first contestant... Patrick Meritato. Lucky fist pound,
and we're ready to start. Patrick, who goes by the nickname
"Monty", is a regional manager for a beverage company from
Nanuet, NY.
You know how this works...
Twenty-six women control 26 cases. Each one holds the
following...

$ 1,000,000 |
The values were placed by a
third-party. Only that third-party knows what value is where.
Monty starts by picking a case... In this case, it's Tamara's
#8. That is his case unless he wants to sell it. But first... he
must open six cases. Whatever is in those cases isn't in his...
Case 12 (Jill) |
PENNY CASE off the bat! |
Case 16 (Kim) |
$1 |
Case 10
(Patricia) |
$400,000 |
Case 11 (Katie) |
$25
I think Howie's fist is broken
by now. |
Case 9
(Marisa) |
$500 |
Case 22 (Jenelle) |
$10 |
A lot of big money left on the
board. But here's one character that doesn't want Monty to go
home with any of it.... The Banker. He will make cash offers to
buy back Monty's case throughout the game. His first...

If Monty brushes this deal off,
he will have to open five more cases before the next offer. If
he takes the deal, then $25,000 is his. Deal or No Deal? "You
tell the banker to call back when he gets serious... NO DEAL!"
Five to go...
Case 13 (Leyla) |
$75 |
Case 5
(Ursula) |
Ohhh...
$750,000 |
Case 6 (Megan) |
$300 |
Case 4
(Lindsey) |
Lindsey: "I'm gonna try to
keep it going." Nice
try, but $200,000 is not "keeping it going." |
Case 3 (Lisa) |
$500,000 |
Three big amounts go off this
time... The banker calculates... and while he's doing that, he
mocks Monty... The phone continues to ring into the commercial.
Afterwards, the banker, who doesn't like to be kept waiting,
offers this, a little lower than previously offered...

friend Michael Bowen. They all say that if he takes the deal,
he'll walk back to New York... No deal it is... Four to open...

There is a one in six chance that
he has $100,000. "He came here to push the envelope, and $30,000
ain't gonna do it, Howie," says Nunzio. After a break, Monty
tells the banker to take a walk. "No deal." One to open.
Case 19

And there goes the
envelope... $100,000 |

For the first time in the history
of this show in America, the left side of the board is clear!
That's going to drive the bank offer way up... Well, as high as
it can get given the circumstances... After Monty and Nunzio
share in a man hug and Nunzio almost gives Howie the business,
the bank offer does indeed go higher...

If he says no deal, he goes home
with what's in his case. "No deal." That's it, then... He just
turned down $38,000 for what's in his case... Or would he like
to switch cases? "You go with your first call." He doesn't
switch, which means he's ending up with...
Sara indeed had $50,000.
But we still have time to play
another game. The values are switched and the board is reset...
Let's play again with Kim Woods, a medical insurance biller
married 21 years. And she's excited. That's good. Let's play!
She chooses 21, presumably for her 21 years of marriage. And
like that, Kristin's case is now Kim's case.
