"Episode 4" -
December 22
The worldwide phenomenon has taken
America by force as we enter night 4 of "Deal or No Deal" with
the customary Detail of the 26. That's a sexy detail. Amy
Ditbrenner walked last night with $201,000, while follow-up
contestant Daryl Johnson closed a deal for $99,000. How will our
first player, Traci Wilkerson, fare? She's a teacher from
Devine, TX with a thing for wienerdogs. She ends up with case
#18, as Donna delivers said case.

Phone rings again. "I'll get it."
Howie thinks the bank is scared, as the four largest amounts are
still on the board. After a tease, we get the offer of...

She consults her loved ones, mom
Linda (who lives in either San Diego or Ramona), boss and uncle
George (who has a collar on), and best friend Ruth. George says
"no deal". Also on hand is her entire class! Sophia thinks it's
a lot of money. Joshua doesn't want Traci to stop now. Traci...
"No deal." Four to go.

Mom says "No deal." The class
says "No deal." Traci says "No deal." Two to go.
Case 26 (Pilar) |
$100 |
Case 19 (A.J.) |
Traci: I've been wanting
to see 25 for a while now. PLEASE!
$25,000 |
Not a bad pick. One out of three
chance that Traci is holding at least $500,000. Howie's doing
the math in his head. The banker is doing the math on a
computer, and his computer says... Six figures!

Impossible to knock out both
amounts in the next round. Ruth notes that. Uncle George says
"Go for it." The class starts chanting... "No deal!" One to go.
Traci starts kissing her good
luck bracelet, as she says thank you and hello to the person who
made it for her, Guillermo. He couldn't be here today. Aww...
Now to the banker. "Can I answer it?" Traci asks. "No, I have
to," Howie says. "It's a union deal." Which means it's time for
another break. Afterwards, Howie has a sit-down with the loved
ones, telling Linda what the deal is...

A lot of money. There's a four
out of five chance that Traci will hit anything other than a
million. "Risk taking is in your genes!" Uncle George shouts.
Traci discreetly closes the case. No deal! One to go...
Now a 50/50 chance that Traci is
holding one of the large amounts! "I betcha Guillermo can get a
lot for bracelets now!" Then the banker calls. "You're in
trouble, I can tell." Looks like Traci has the banker by the
balls now as Sophia and Joshua get word of ... the largest
amount the banker has EVER offered.

Now a three out of four chance to
avoid the million with one case to open. The loved ones decide
on one more go. Traci is all jittery...
"No deal."
No teacher in America has ever
given up on $275,000. But the odds are in her favor with 2, 20,
and 23 remaining. The kids want to say 2... She goes with
Case 23
(Nancy) |
Nancy: I feel good.
Then a break... Then another
break...
$500,000 |
But if she had to lose a big
amount, she picked the right one. Now there's a two out of three
chance that Traci is holding the million. The banker is back
with this offer... Lower, but still big.

A two out of three shot at
missing the $1 million. George is a huge risk taker... "But
deal!" Traci starts to jitter again. The class wants her to
continue... "It's an enormous amount. I'd be very happy with it,
so I'm going to say deal!" Deal done for $267,000! Had she gone
on...
Case 2 (Stacy) |
$1,000,000 |
Had she gone on with the kids'
choice, she would've lost the million! I'd call that a GREAT
deal. She only had $200 in her case.
Now to a new player, as we
reshuffle and welcome Venus Bernardo. This spunky lady is a loan
officer (so she plays this game each and every day). She wants
to go back east to open a restaurant with her sister. Venus
picks 26, Pilar's case. So Pilar's case is now Venus' case. Six
to go...

without a fight.

must remove five cases in the next round. "Well... NO DEAL!"
Five to go.
Case 5 (Kristal) |

Venus: That's alright! That's
okay! |
Case 17 (Kasie) |

$500 |
Case 19 (AJ) |

Not a good round, but the million
is still there on the board. Even more so, the million could be
there in the case.

That's a lot of money to think
about... so we'll give her a lot of time to think about it.
Check back tomorrow to see if she gives up $19,000 for the
chance at a million!
