"Episode 25" -
April
17
Last time, 26 Miss USA hopefuls bore
witness to Bryan Kennedy, a professional clown, as he made a
woman out of his girlfriend by proposing to her, and a woman out
of the banker by taking him for $301,000. Will fortune favor the
bold this go around?
Let's see as ERIN BIRCH takes her
perch. Erin is a 28-year-old fundraiser for Special Olympics of
Nashville, TN. She will give half of whatever she wins to that
cause. So we're really rooting for her.
She's also playing for her...
rabbit.
She chooses case number 11, for her
birthday, 11/11. And Patricia delivers said case.
Last time, this case only had
$25. What about now?
| Case 15
(Lanisha) |
$50,000 |
| Case 14 (Krisi) |
$200,000 |
| Case 4
(Lindsay S) |

| Case 22
(Julee) |
$10,000 |
| Case 3
(Lisa) |
$75,000 |
Not a particularly good round,
but there's more of a chance of opening the left side up next
round. Something the banker has noticed. To this end, the banker
has made this offer of...

Generous... for the banker. What
will Erin do? Deal or no deal? "That would do a lot of good..."
Travis says one more time... and that's what we go to... Three
to go.
| Case
20 (Marisa) |

Erin's going to Doc on this... "I
think you should keep going, no deal!" Travis wants one more
round...
Erin... "No deal!"
| Case 16 (Kim) |
Anything but 750....
$500 |
| Case 2
(Stacey) |
$25 |
The banker is not liking this,
but the board is reduced to 50/50 on left/right, so things are
getting a wee bit interesting now.
"He said, and I will quote... 'I
don't like bunnies.'"

The coworker says "Deal!" Doc and
Travis say "One more time." Expectations were at $80,000. But
Erin is running the show now... Deal or no deal?
Her heart says "No deal!" One to
go...
| Case 21 (Tameka) |
"I wish you the best of
luck..." $100 |
The banker did not like that.
Erin did. "He's giving you this offer... then he's going rabbit
hunting."

There's a 40 percent chance that
Erin is sitting on six figures. Or a 100 percent chance right
now. Deal or No deal? If she deals, both she and the Special
Olympics get $80,000...
"I need to do the right thing...
I'm saying deal." Deal for $167,000! But what would have
happened if she continued? Anya has... $100,000. The banker
would've offered... $142,000. Claudia has... $750,000! What did
Erin have?
One dollar! That's what we call
"profit in her pants." And her Special Olympics are winners as
well...
Money's been reshuffled. Let's
bring out THORPE SCHOENLE! He comes from the home of the Chicago
White Sox. He calls himself "the ultimate gamer". And here he is
playing "the ultimate game."
Thorpe, who put in four calendar
months into one game, picks 20, the day he met his wife. Hi,
Marisa... Bye, Marisa.
That's his case... but will he
hold onto it? Let's open six...
| Case 3

Last time, $75,000.
This time... $750,000. |

Thorpe's a fireman for Chicago,
and the banker is about to flame out... "He thinks the ultimate
gamer is the ultimate chump."

Kara (wife), Al (gaming buddy),
and Thorpe's mom are all in attendance for support. "I'm shocked
he didn't go with #2, because that's our anniversary!" Turned
out to be a good choice, Kara thought. But what does Thorpe say?
"No deal! Come on!"
Five to open.
