"Episode 2.48" -
February 21
Last time, Pyong Kong, a big
believer in fate, took home $211,000. In his case, the amount
that his parents came to America with... $750. Talk about
freaky.
Now a new deal begins with...
DIMITRA APOSTOLOPOULOS! This 32-year-old first-generation Greek
from Chicago was just fired from her copier sales job and she's
looking for a bit of help. She's holding a chain of Greek lucky
beads.
Patricia, you know, is also Greek...
but for this game, Dimitra is picking the Brit, #22.
Now to open the first six.

Dimitra asks Patricia to open it in Greek... $75,000.
Instead of leaving, though, she'll stick around, because
it's all Greek to Howie. Heh. |

$1,000 |
The phone rings again. It's Zeus.
He wants Dimitra gone.

Time to meet Dimitra's big fat
Greek family... We see George (younger brother), mom, and Angela
(sister)... and a bunch of plates. Why plates? For good luck,
they break plates. Opa!
That also explains the lexan
shield around that area. Anyway, everyone says no deal. So
that's what we're going with.

Before we get to Dimitra's
decision, mom spits in her face. It's all relevant. No worries.
She still has a safety net. No
deal.
More spitting... and more
plate-breaking. Meanwhile, one of the banker's drones has sent a
vial of his spit. Howie shoos her away before she does some
damage. The offer...

strong Greek girl. "No deal."

Opa! The bank's testing the guts
of the Greek. Still has two big numbers. She's giving up
$100,000 to win an additional $300,000. Why not go one more. No
deal it is!
One more.
|
|
Everyone has a plate in their hand...
$300,000. |
It's still good. But the safety
net is gone. Let's see what the banker says... "Goodbye."

There's a 2 of 3 chance that she
either has less than the bank offer or that she'll open that
amount next.
Dimitra... "My mama didn't raise
no fool." DEAL for $95,000!
But was it the right decision? Jill
had $75. Bank would've offered... $210,000. In Dimitra's case...
A bad deal.
Hopefully something more will
befall upon... ISHMAEL BROWN. But we can call him "Tater".
We're going straight into the
game as Ishmael picks #11.
Tater has to get rid of six more
to start.

Last time,

With mother Judy and wife Becky
in tow, Ishmael wants some more taters than the bank's willing
to offer. No deal!
Tater'll pick four more cases
next time.
