Game Show NewsNet - Deal or No Deal: Season 2

"Episode 2.43" - February 7

Last time, Vicki Montzingo won big with $48,000 for her $50 case. Then Giuseppe Iannello took $127,000 from the bank for his case worth $100,000.

We're continuing with the Double Deal board, and the next person to play it is... EMIKA PORTER. This isn't the first time they met, as Howie shows the footage from when he went to Vegas to surprise her with the news.

And what a surprise that was. Not as big as the surprise she's about to hear now. As we told you before, she's playing Double Deal... for her son.

It's case picking time. She goes with double deuces, case #22.

Emika's Case

Six cases first...

$20

$600

$150

$100

$600,000

$200

The biggest amount off the board was $600,000. Not bad. The banker offers...

$ 2	$ 10,000
$ 10	$ 20,000

$ 800	$ 1,000,000
$ 1,000	$ 1,500,000
$ 1,500	$ 2,000,000

The highest first offer ever in the history, even with this board breaker. That's more than her salary right there. She thinks she can take a lot more... No deal.

$800,000

$1,500,000

$400,000

Last game, only 20K. This time... $2

$20,000

Three big amounts gone, but $2 million is still in play.

Four cases left if she doesn't take this offer. Mom, Maiesha (best friend), and Tasha (another best friend) make up the Ladybugs that support her today. Also in the crowd are the rest of the Ladybugs and the little man Jaden.

It's still early and it's still a dealer's board, so she's going NO DEAL.

$150,000

$10,000

$1,000,000. Painful.

$ 800	$ 1,000,000
$ 1,000	$ 1,500,000
$ 1,500	$ 2,000,000

$ 1,000	$ 1,500,000
$ 1,500	$ 2,000,000

The board is scary, yes, but the odds favor Emika. NO DEAL.

$50. "You're on a mission, baby!"

$200,000

BANK OFFER $7,500

$ .02
$ 10
$ 400	$ 50,000
