"Episode 2.47" -
February 19
Last time, Cheryl Clarke took
$172,000 from the banker... who was offering $300,000. Then Tony
Kolton left the game early with $94,000 after the numbers began
to matter.
Next player is... PYONG KONG. Pyong
is a self-professed Korean cowboy whose parents came over with
$750 in their pocket. Pyong grew up in a trailer park and
learned English through karaoke and country music. He's playing
for a honeymoon.
Pyong starts play with ... a clog.
Next, he chooses his case, #8.
Now to open the first six.

After the break, Pyong knocks
over the case as if it were nothing. Whenever Pyong is stressed,
he sings karaoke.. So guess what? It's karaoke night!

and just get back to the game.

Eight cases left in play, and

in... and he wants a song.
"P-Y-O-N-G, P-Y-O-N-G, P-Y-O-N-G,
and I'm a dorky lame-oh." That's just wrong. Okay that and a
clog is worth...

He's got a safety net, and he's
giving up $115,000 to win possibly another $600,000. And if he
can sing Britney on national television, he can do this.
No deal! One more case...
Umm.. let me think about that.

Pyong's parents came over from
Korea with nothing. Wifey wants one more case. Howie's offering
a guarantee of six figures, but will he give up $173,000 for a
CHANCE at $550,000 more? Mom says to listen to the wife.
He does. No deal.

"Get ready to dance!" $10,000 |
Quick clog... maybe a
one-two-step... Time for the banker... Does he believe in fate?
Pyong's family came with $750. Pyong has a chance at $750,000...
or $75... or $750. The banker offers...

says "Don't do it!" He doesn't! NO DEAL! One more case...
Uncanny. If you look at the
board... $75, $750, and $750,000... this... is fate talking. The
banker does go down to...

That is just unreal. That number
started his life in America. Now everyone is saying to deal.
"The heavens are telling me something. My parents came with a
dream, and $211,000 is a really good dream." DEAL for $211,000!
But was it the right decision?
Mylinda had ... $750,000! In Pyong's case... back to the
beginning...
The right case at the right time.
Unreal! We've come full circle as Howie tells Mama to hold onto
the case... Talk about fate.
Another player and another deal
awaits next time.
