"Episode 2.16" -
October 20
Last time, Nondumiso Sainsbury sold
her case for $286,000. In it, $500,000. Now a zookeeper, Jed
Dodds, as well as his entire menagerie of furry and scaly animal
friends, hopes that his case has $1,000,000... the last big
amount left on the board.
It's been a pretty wild game. Now
it's about to get wilder, because he has to pick one more
case...

One-in-six chance at a million
becomes a one-in-five chance.... and apparently the bird loves
it to the point of pooping. Talk about a statement. Here's the
banker's statement.

If Jed takes the lead, then he
wins $172,000. If not, it's another case to open. Is what Mango
left on the ground enough luck for him? Deal or No Deal? His
brother is going to "tackle him." Not an idle threat. "Let's
take 'em home."
DEAL for $172,000! Let's take the
animals out of here. But first, let's find out if it was a good
deal or not.
Mylinda had... a dollar. Banker
would've gone as high as $275,000. Megan had... the million! Jed
had...
Banoodles the Monkey.
Hoping to avoid the penny case
this time is HOLLY BENEFIELD. Originally from South Carolina,
she's "country." She wants to buy a car.
And what's up with the cowboy
hat? She wants the Banker to wear it. I'm guessing he's
saying... "Not a hope in Hell, lady."
Holly wants the last case on the
board, #26. Lindsay C, also a country girl, also delivers
Holly's hat up to the Banker's Office...
Let's get into it. We start with
six. Holly, a little odd, starts with odd numbers...

Corbin says, "It's not his day."
Best friend says to take the deal. Scott breaks the tie in favor
of no deal. And the family agrees. Holly's answer will be final
and binding...
NO DEAL! Another case...

Safety net gone...

Will she take the money or go for
one more case? On one hand, she can knock out one of the smaller
amounts now. On the other, the safety net is gone. Corbin
doesn't want to quit. Husband... "Pick number 8." It's a gut
shot decision...
Scott wants to take the deal...
"Hey y'all, watch this...."
Button! DEAL for $53,000. That's her car, but how good of a deal
was it?
The husband wanted to pick
Lauren. She had... $400,000! And the banker puts on the hat,
gives it a little tip, as if to say "You are a formidable
opponent." And in Holly's case...
"Keep the hat, baby." Y'all come
back next time, y'hear?
