"Premiere Week 1" -
September 18
December 2005... NBC launches a game
show that would take hold of a nation like never before.
September 2006... after having
given millions of dollars away, the game returns for a new
season. Twenty-six cases, $1 million, no stunts, no trivia, just
one question...
DEAL... OR NO DEAL?
So here's the "Deal"... The top
prize all week will start with $1 million, and for every game
that progresses, it'll grow by another million until we get to
$6 million. Which means that the bank offers will start to get a
little heftier.
Cases are loaded... Models are in
place. All we need now is a contestant. First up for the season
is... SSG ROBIN MULLINS! Robin is in the Air Force, returning
from Iraq, and stationed in Illinois. If she wins the money, she
wants to send her niece Hannah to college.
Quick refresher of the rules. You
pick a case. That is yours to either hold onto for the duration
of the game or sell. In round 1, you eliminate six cases, and
whatever is in those cases is not in yours. After that, the
banker will make an offer. If it's a deal, then you win that
amount of money. If it's no deal, then play continues with five
cases to eliminate, then four, three, two, and then one per
round.
Top prize this game is $1
million...

Banker goes up! Don't make this
decision alone. Again, here are some loved ones, Donna
(co-worker), Carla (best friend), and Wayne (co-worker) are all
on hand for support. They all say "No way, no how"... NO DEAL.
Four to go. And Robin needs a
lozenge...
|
Leyla: "How about $400?" |
|
Ursula: "Hope you still love me after this..." $100!
Afterwards, she transfers from
the gallery to the sidelines to stand next to Wayne...
Lucky freak. |

At least it isn't $750,000. Three

Now we're looking at two and two,
or Robin can walk with $67K. There's a 25% chance that she's
sitting on six figures. That's two year's of pay on the table
right now, though.
"Howie... NO DEAL."
Two cases left... Pick wisely.
"Is he crying?" Robin asks. "More
like anger," Howie says. And here's why. The banker is offering
"Hannah's future"...

Robin says that she's "the love
of her life". So this may be worth considering. There's a 1-in-3
shot at six figures. There's one more case to open in the next
round, or she can take six figures right now. Deal or no deal?"
Donna says to take it for Hannah...
"Deal." DEAL for $102,000!
Hannah's got a free ride, but could it have been sweeter? Just
how good did Robin deal? Let's find out.
Her next choice would've been
3... $10. Bank offer... $152,000. 26 had.... $750,000. In
Robin's case... Banoodles.
That's what you call a great
deal. Time to reset the cases and bring forth a new player...
WILLIAM MING! He's been married 26 years to the same woman, and
he's also a preacher. "Everybody loves a preacher." He says he's
a "ghetto preacher".
Today, he's playing for... "Two
million, Howie." It's Chico... Okay, William calls out 25.
Hayley notches her first delivery.
Now to the opening of the others.

There's a 50-50 shot at more than
what the banker's offering. Deal or no deal? The family says no.
But this money could help with his ministries, so... DEAL for
$56,000!
Next case would've been $5.
Banker would've offered $85,000. Next would've been $50. Banker
would've offered $146,000. In William's case...
So the banker is 1-and-1 tonight.
How will he do with... MATTHEW SOLINA? Matthew's from Staten
Island, NY, where he's a Teamster. He's come to win the million.
And he takes no checks. He wants cash money.
And it's Matty Day, so let's get
the party started... for $3 million! He was married for 23 years, his birthday's on the 23rd, and he was a Teamster
for 23 years. He's picking case 6... Kidding. It's case 23.
Now for six more.

This may be walking money. Or
maybe not. There's still three big amounts, but there's one big
amount guaranteed....
"DEAL!" DEAL for a
record-shattering $675,000! The most money anyone has ever
walked away with. But was it a good decision?
Lindsey C had... the million.
Bank would've gone to $600,000. April had... $250,000. The bank
would've gone to... $1.1 million. Laura had.... $750. Bank's
final offer would've been... $1.6 million. In Matty's case...
Matty kept saying he had the
"tree million"...
I'll be damned. He was right. But
still, it's a big amount to walk with.
Premiere week continues next
time.
