"Episode 24: Miss
USA" -
April
12
Last time, Tia Robertson, a real
life banker, took OUR banker for $211,000 (she was holding
$200,000). Mary Coyle then spanked the bank for $119,000... but
she was also holding $200,000.
We begin anew today with our
detail... 26 contenders for Miss USA, Friday night, April 21 on
NBC. Meanwhile, the reigning Miss USA Chelsea Cooley (C-Note:
From North Carolina) is escorted to the VIP box. Howie's going
to refer to each of the boxes by their state... That should be
fun.
So now do we have a reigning
Millionaire? Let's find out as we meet BRYAN KENNEDY, a
professional clown. Seriously. Let's see who'll be laughing
after the end of this round.
He chooses as his case, number 11,
New Jersey. And with that, one of our ladies is gone in a flash.
Now to the opening.
| Case 9
(Rhode Island) |
$400 |
| Case 19 (North
Dakota) |
$5,000 |
| Case 22
(Minnesota) |
$200,000 |
| Case 7 (Utah) |
$500,000 |
| Case 3
(California) |
$1,000 |
| Case 5
(Indiana) |
$25,000 |
Not bad, but not that good
either. Now we introduce our reigning bastard, The Banker. He
phones in with this offer for... "Porkchop".

Four more boxes or $31,000?
Helping Bryan out is Florida (Bryan's mom, aka "Tooter"), Kisha
(Bryan's girlfriend), Nate (Bryan's dad aka "Flapjack"), and
Austin (Bryan's brother, aka "Meatball"). What does this family
of clowns say? "We came here for more." No deal! Four to go.

The million is still up, there.
And Tooter brings Porkchop his clown nose. Now we can play...
The crowd is on its feet saying "Porkchop! Porkchop! Porkchop!"
Banker: "I'm never going to let a
clown get the better of me."

Down a little. With a three-in-11
chance of having more than $300,000, he says... NO DEAL! Three
to go....
But first, we meet April Irish of
Surprise, AZ, who won $10,000 playing the Lucky Cases. And now
she's in the audience. Yay!

That's his student loans, a
house, and a life change. There's a 38% chance that Bryan is
holding $300,000 or more. That's three out of eight. And the
next round has two... Deal or No Deal?
Kisha says "No deal." Two to
go... but first, the clown family get their noses on.
| Case 4 (Kentucky) |
"I can't even look..."
Fake out!
$1 |
| "Flapjack says
20" (Nevada) |
Howie gets his clown nose
on! "Fishstick is in the house!"

The clowns are running the show.
The banker... goes way up.

So there's a 100% chance of
leaving right now with six-figures. "This may be the luckiest
day of your life." But over the break, Howie notes that Bryan
said that one thing would make it even luckier... I think we
know where this is going. "I need Kisha."
"See these numbers here?
$160,000. I came on this show for a variety of reasons. I wanted
to be able to do things for my family, because they do so much
for me. Thought about giving my dad his dream car, my brother
some more meatballs, my mom some new clown shoes. But I kept
thinking what it is that I want to do for myself? Every time I
thought about something I want to do, it wasn't for me, it was
for you. I want you to know that you're the most important thing
that ever happened to me. I love you with all my heart. And I'm
on this show for us, and for you. And I don't ever want to spend
this life without you. So in front of all these people today, I
want to ask you.... Will you marry me?"
I think Howie should ask this...
"It's my show? So let me ask!
Deal? Or no deal?"
Kisha?
"DEAL!"
Deal for an engagement ring! So
Bryan has a wife, but does he have a million? Or is he leaving
with $160,000? Deal? Or no deal?
"No deal!" ..
| Case 8 (Delaware) |
$300,000 |
But that's okay, because the
million is still there. What will the banker say?

Down, but not by a lot. There is
a 40 percent that Bryan is sitting on a big amount. He can't
knock out both huge amount.
Deal or No deal? Meatball says no
deal. Tooter says deal. "One more." No deal. One to go.
| Case 1
(Alabama) |
After the break...
"Just do what you gotta do."
$200! |
As Howie said... "To the moon."
"He's never been this ashamed to be beaten down by a clown."
And... He's wearing a clown nose now! Who's the clown now?

The time for clowning around...
is over. "Greed is not good." Deal for $301,000! But what
would've happened if he went on?
14 (Virginia) had... $1,000,000!
And in Bryan's case...
An amazing deal! A simply amazing
deal.
New game next time.
