"Episode 2.10" -
October 6
Last time, Latoshia Odom scored
$104,000 and a title of honorary model, while Ron Rosania won
$131,000. Both ended up rooking the banker.
Will our youngest contestant ever do
the same? Her name is ELNA HIMMLER. All of 19 years old, this
was her birthday wish to be on this show. She knows how this
game works, as she hopes to play to a big college tuition.
Our girl Lisa brings down Elna's
case, #3
Elna's hoping to put her town of
Steilacoom, WA on the map. First, she'll take out six.

Four of the big five are still on
the board as we hear from the banker. "I love the banker." He
don't want your love. He wants your case.

Mom says "No deal". Five of the
heavy seven are still in play. It's a dealer's board. No guts,
no glory, no risk, no chance... NO DEAL. Three cases.

Still a dealer's board. There's a
50/50 shot of at least $100,000. The banker knows this, and
offers accordingly.

That's big money! But again,
there's a 50/50 chance that she is sitting on at least $100,000.
Those are good odds. Next round has two cases. Mom says "No
deal"... That's what Elna's going with. Two more cases.

Mom: "It's $5!" Times
20,000.
$100,000 |

Mom: "It's $5!"
Times 60,000. $300,000 |
There's still a one-in-six chance
of a million and a one-in-three chance of a six-figure sum, but
the banker sees that the odds came down, so he went down.

Best friend says to take it.
Crowd shouts to deal. It's still a dealer's board. Mom says to
go on! Dad says that it's a good deal.
"Pop it now."
You can see the tension on Elna's
face... and she pulls the trigger. DEAL FOR $193,000!
But was it the right thing to do?
Jacquelynn had $75,000. The banker would've fronted $410,000.
Laura had $300. Banker would've fronted $540,000. Lindsay C had
the million! In Elna's case...
Elna gets shafted from playing it
safe.
We reshuffle as ADALIS MARRERO
hopes to learn from that example. She's a stay-at-home mom with
lucky shoes. She's ready to play... Wait.. putting on the lucky
chancletas... now we're ready. Board is in place. Let's pick a
case. Adalis picks lucky 13...
Now six to go...
