Today is

"Episode 2.17" - October 23

Last time, Jed Dodds and his fine feathered friends sold his penny case for $172,000. Then Holly Benefield rode the banker for $53,000.

Time for a new deal and a new dealer... CATHY DELLIPONTI! She's a recently-single mother, here to make a fresh start with her Happy Cathy Stress Reliever. If she wins big tonight, she wants a house.

Happy Cathy takes case #8.

BANOODLES!

$100,000

$5,000

Another big amount gone, but the million remains. The banker's sure to raise that offer now. He doubles the offer to...

BANK OFFER
$82,000

 

$ .01 $ 1,000
$ 1 $ 5,000
$ 5 $ 10,000
$ 10 $ 25,000

$ 400 $ 500,000
$ 500 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000

That's a lot more than a secretary makes. That's guaranteed money. But will she take it? The girls so don't do it. "No deal, Howie."

Three more cases.

16

"You're gonna like me."

$750

3

$1,000

17

$500,000

It's still good, though. The million is still in play with two other big amounts. The banker's feeling the pressure.

BANK OFFER
$162,000

 

$ .01 $ 1,000
$ 1 $ 5,000
$ 5 $ 10,000
$ 10 $ 25,000
$ 25 $ 50,000
$ 50 $ 75,000

$ 200 $ 300,000
$ 300 $ 400,000
$ 400 $ 500,000
$ 500 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000

We're into guaranteed six-figures, or she can open two more cases. There are three big amounts left, all three bigger than the bank offer, and there's a 38% chance that she's sitting on one of them. "No deal."

Two to go.

25

"You told me to go slow..."

$400

22

"I think I need your happy stress ball."

$200,000

But that's still good. There's a 1/3 chance at $750,000. This is a dealer's board. And here's the banker...

BANK OFFER
$237,000

 

$ 5 $ 75,000
$ 25 $ 750,000
$ 50 $ 1,000,000

The girls say she's got a million. She's got a good safety net, that's for sure. Deal or no deal? The girls say to go for it. Come on... one more... "No deal!"

One more case... This next pick is a team effort...

26

OH NO!

$1,000,000

Safety net is gone. So is the million. Bank offer plummets...

BANK OFFER
$103,000

 

$ 5 $ 75,000
$ 25 $ 750,000
$ 50 $ 1,000,000

Still a decent offer, or will she go for the $750,000...

NO DEAL!

Next pick...

9

She feels good about this...

$75,000

That's still good... It means the banker's going to go up. The chances are dwindling that she'll pick the $750,000, but they're still there... The bank offers...

BANK OFFER
$185,000

 

$ 5 $ 75,000
$ 25 $ 750,000
$ 50 $ 1,000,000

I think that's walking money. Will she go another round? "Skyrocket is the key word."

Remember... this is for the kids...

Cathy is visibly stressed... "I'm gonna take the deal."

DEAL for $185,000! Her life's gonna change big time. But was it the right decision?

Leyla had... $750,000. She got out at the right time! In Cathy's case...

$25

Cathy's Case

Reset the board and the cases for your next dealer... MARCO CEBALLOS! This Mexico City native has been in the US for 22 years.

She knows a lot about Marisa, she's a cancer survivor, unlike his daughter. But she's a good luck charm, so...

Marco's Case

Starting again with six...

Aside from that million, a good round. Time to talk to El Banquero.

$ .01 $ 1,000
$ 1 $ 5,000
$ 5 $ 10,000
$ 10 $ 25,000

$ 400 $ 500,000
$ 500 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000

Six big amounts are still in play. Will Marco bite on this first offer? "¿Vas o no vas?" That's... another network, Howie.

"¡No trato! No deal!" No deal it is, then! We'll open five more next time.
