"Episode 2.26: The
Thanksgiving Show" - November 23
Happy Thanksgiving! If the effects
of the tryptophan haven't taken hold yet, you probaby remember a
lime green Escalade rolling out for Zanny Henseler and a
left-side clear out for Joe Kaiser. Today, on this special
two-hour episode, anything can happen as Joe continues to fight
out for top coin for his case, #10.
We've reached that critical point
in the game when Joe must open one case at a time before hearing
the Banker's offer..
BUT before we do, also cheering
on Joe... the NFL on NBC team. Hey... Two-hour show. We've got
to pad it out somehow.
The biggest case is out of the
running. Still a lot of money, though. The offer did go
down, though...

It's still a dealer's board, but
will the decline in money mean a decline in interest? "Keep him
honest! Make him sweat a little!"
No deal.
Banker calls in... "Now he has
something to be thankful for."

It IS all about percentages, and
right now, they're all favoring the banker.
Joe is determined not to let the
banker ruin Thanksgiving. DEAL for $59,000. But was it the right
decision?
Lindsay had $5000. Offer rose to
$94,000. Kasie had the 300 large. In Joe's case...
A good deal.
Was that a turkey I saw in the
Big Deal Thanksgiving bumper?
Next up, BECKY SPEARS... and a
sweet potato pie from South Carolina. "Nanny" is thankful for
being on this show with her entire family. Granddaughter Hannah,
almost 13, gets to hand off the case to Nanny.
This is a special Thanksgiving
board. Instead of $25, we get a TURKEY on the board. Everyone in
the audience is going to take a turkey home with them. Nanny,
though, is taking case #17.
Now to open the cases... Starting
with six...

pleasure of putting that in his face... a Southern lady would

Back to the turkey hunt
Now it's a Banker's board. Let's

Nanny wants to help her
grandchildren. Love Dove wants to go on a trip. Grandson wants
to go to NASCAR Victory Junction. No deal.
There's a 1-in-5 chance at
$100,000... or a turkey. The offer went up to...

Love Dove picks...
And the crowd goes crazy. And the
banker goes up...

Everyone tells her to deal. Love
Dove wants one more case! Nanny is a gutsy player. But she ain't
stupid. DEAL for $33,000! But was it the right decision? We'll
find out in a bit, but first...
Howie goes up to the Banker's
Office. Remember that pie he offered? Well... YOU ASKED FOR IT!
Back to business.
Alike... $10,000. The next offer
was $41,000. Laura had... $25,000. The banker would've give
$50,000. In Nanny's case...
A bum deal. But it was still a
good game on account of having the Banker get egg on his face...
and flour... and whipped cream... and partially hydrogenated
soybean oil.
After seeing Tammy Fuller be
invited to a New York Jets game by one Curtis Martin (you
remember her, football mom who LOVED the Jets, ended up winning
$186,000).
Next up, TERRA WALKER. She works
a reading program in Orlando, FL's Freedom Middle School.
The cases are reset. In honor of
Terra's son's birthday, Lisa delivers #3.
And for this special board, $10
is replaced by a PUMPKIN PIE.
Another special twist... Keltie
has a special GREEN case. If Terra can open eleven cases without
revealing the million, she gets whatever is in Keltie's case.

band-aid off quickly."

Was this enough of a turnaround?
The loved ones all say it's time. There's a 40% chance that
Terra's case holds more than the offer.
DEAL for $46,000! That's real
money, but was that the right decision?
Sara had $300. Banker would've
offered $61,000. Lindsey had.. $50,000. Bank offer... $72,000.
Marisa had the $200,000. Terra's case had...
