Venus: "I want you to answer the phone."
The new offer is $28,000, which

The audience is prodding Venus to
go on. Venus' friends say deal. Venus hits the button--deal!
Venus has $23,000. If Venus held onto 26, she would've had
$50,000. Case 10 had the $200.
The final contestant in the first
run is Janette Beverly. Janette is a musician, a music teacher,
and a mother of three girls. Can Janette end the first series

Janette picks case 3, as she has
three girls. Lisa delivers the case to Howie and Janette.

Howie asks how he could change
Janette's luck. Janette says she wanted her husband there.
Instead, Howie presents Janette with her necklace. An image of
Janette and her husband, Brian, on the game board. The sisters

mystery person on speakerphone. It's Janette's husband, Brian.

Her sisters still say no deal.
Janette says she lost $10,000 earlier. No deal!
Howie makes Janette an offer he
hasn't done in prior shows--to swap case 3 with case 22.
Janette won't budge. She's keeping case 3. What's in #3? The
worst case scenario--$75,000. What a take after starting out
with a meager $4,000 offer.
That's it for this run of Deal or
No Deal. Deal or No Deal will rerun next week on CNBC in
primetime, before Jim Cramer's show, Mad Money. (How
appropriate--a show about big deals and bigger money before a
show about essentially the same thing.) Deal or No Deal will
return in March with new shows.
