"Episode 2.19" -
October 30
Last time, Marco Ceballos got his
dream of a Mexican restaurant in the form of $76,000... at the
expense of $300,000. Now Tracee Jones, a basketball coach at
Tennessee State University is at the deal, having given up
$130,000 for two more cases. If you recall, she chose her number
in college, #12
Two cases to open... starting
now.

$100,000 Smaller than
the bank amount... |

$10 |
Now we're at the singleton
stage... With a dealer's board... The banker offers...

If Tracee takes the deal, then she
wins $189,000. That's real money. She needs a time out courtesy
of an all-too-convenient-to-just-be-random picture message from
her players. Okay, time out over.
The current offer is vacation,
car, and some money back to the school. She's got a 1 in 3 shot
at more, so... no deal.
One to go.

Now the boss wants to deal. Does
the coach, though? There's a 2 in 5 chance of more than that.
And Tracee's beginning to panic. Bubba says he's gonna back
her... Mom says to deal... "If you're not sure, take the deal!"
Bubba says, going contrary to basic strategy, "When in doubt,
play it out."
DEAL for $265,000! But was it the
right decision?
Patricia had... $500,000. Banker
would've dropped the offer to $231,000. Pilar had.... $50. Bank
offer would've rose to $361,000. Lindsay C. had... $300. Bank
would've offered... $500,000. In Tracee's case...
The big one. She sold the
million-dollar case... But the $265,000 she does have is real.
Next, Howie explains that the
audition process is a painstakingly involved one, one that not
even he has a grasp on. So he goes out to the audience and meets
a man by the name of Kevin O'Bryan from New York City. He's in
the midst of auditioning, and his wife is eight months pregnant.
Now to meet the newest dealer...
KEVIN O'BRYAN! And he's dumbfounded. He swears he had no idea.
"No! This is an audition!" No, Kevin, this is, pardon the pun,
the real deal. He wants to move out of the parents' basement.
Kevin wants #5.
Starting again with six...

We have one loved one, his wife.
So Howie takes it upon himself to go into the crowd and pick out
some more supporters... his actual in-laws! "You knew this the
whole time?" Apparently. They all say no deal... and that's what
Kevin goes with.

It's another case of reality
versus possibility. The offer is split down the middle, and the
wife says no deal... so he goes with the wife.
