Last time, Anita English played the
best game one could play... then got stung by the banker.
Instead of the $411,000 she was offered early, she went home
with $313,000. Still not bad. In her case... a dollar.
Next player up... NICOLE CUGLEWSKI.
She's from Cleveland, and she likes all things Polish, including
herself and her family. She works for the Cavs as their in-arena
hostess.
She goes with her gut, and #13 has
special meaning for her parents, so Leyla makes the game go
now...
Starting with six...

Still a good round, even though
the $300,000 is out of play. The banker's first offer...

$19,000 is on the other side of
that button. If Nicole says no deal, then she must open five
more. "This one's easy. No deal!"
Five to go. After a kiss from our
chrome-domed host, we continue...

"If it's a penny will you give her another kiss?" Howie
agrees....

|
"Daj mi buzi, Howie!" That's Polish for BANOODLES! |

$100,000 |

$25,000 |
The penny is out of play, and the
four big amounts are still in play. The banker, sweating, ...
"How's that for spunky?" The banker wants a kiss. Nicole says
no. The banker...

Nicole is spunky... and the

Nicole plays on. No deal.

The family wants her to either
pull out (Dr. Jim) or go one more (everyone else). Nicole goes
with her gut... No deal.
One more case...
|
"Please don't be mad at me."

She's a faker, that lady... It's
getting tougher, and the banker's getting a bit more generous...

A quarter of a million. Will she
take it or go one more? Mom says to take it. There's a 40%
chance that Nicole is holding more than the bank is willing to
offer. Ryan says no deal. She's feeling one more... "One
more time! One more time! One more time!"
No deal...
One more...
That is good. It's less than the
bank offer. Which means the banker will go up.

The family wants Nicole to walk.
The audience... "One more time! One more time! One more time!"
Will she buckle under the pressure?
Yep. DEAL for $247,000! That's
real, but what could have been?
Megan had... $200. The banker
had... $517,000... Laura had... the million! Offer goes down to
$200,000. In Nicole's case...
Bad deal. But she does have
$247,000.
Next up is... MILES McINTOSH.
He's a personal trainer and a stay-at-home dad. He's carrying a
story on the show with him. Today, this is going to be his lucky
charm.
We reset the cases. Miles picks case
