February 11
Some two months ago, the Million Dollar
Mission began with two cases... Now we're pushing it to 11. Will someone
take the Banker for the big prize?
First up tonight, TAMIKA KENDALL. She's brought with her a magic wand,
and she's not afraid to use it. She's presently raising a princess,
Makayla (that's her wand). She compares DOND to some sort of fairy tale.
Should this fairy tale have a happily ever after, she wants to have a
dream princess wedding.
One night only... 11 cases have $1,000,000. Is one of them case #17?
Starting with six...
2 - $50
3 - $1,000,000... 10 left
9 - ... Make that nine. $1,000,000
8 - $750
10 - "It's okay, but you got more." $1,000,000. Eight more
11 - $1,000,000. Seven more.
Four $1 million cases. Still got seven left, meaning we're going to get
a big offer... we hope. Banker's first offer... the Big Bad Wolf
offers...

It's enough for a house, but not quite
for that dream wedding as well, so ... NO DEAL!
Five more cases.
1 - Fake out. $500
12 - MAGICAL BANOODLES!
19 - $1,000,000. Six more.
18 - ... Make that five. $1,000,000
24 - ... or four. $1,000,000
Now it's a draw board, which is a dream come true to the Banker, who
raises the offer just so...

Helping Tamika out in her decision are
Lakeya (BFF), "Prince Charming" (fiancee), and Cynthia, the
not-so-wicked mother-in-law. They all say "no deal". Tamika agrees, so
we continue with four.
25 - $1000
23 - $25
22 (Crystal) - $1,000,000... Three left
4 - $1
First two offers were houses. Third offer...

A house. Three cases to open, three MDCs
left. That's a wedding and a house. But there is a 27% chance that
Tamika is holding onto more than the offer. The fairy tale is the home
and the wedding, but we need horses for that carriage. NO DEAL!
5 - $100
13 - $300
20 - "Oh man... How's this!" $5
It's a dealer's board, which means that the banker has to raise the
offer. We give him time to put together an offer... And here comes a
couple of his drones now. This can only be bad...

... and a frog. "If you are a princess,
and you're willing to kiss a frog, he will double the size of the
offer." Audience wants to see a kiss... Tamika's scared... Some
princess.
NO DEAL. And no kiss either.
6 - $400
7 - $1,000,000.... Two left.
There's still a one-in-three chance at a million. There's still a safety
net. There's still the banker.

She still has a safety net, but the offer
dropped. This offer is her house, her wedding, and then some. Cynthia
says no deal... Tamika goes for that... not by the hair on her chinny-chin-chin.
26 - $1,000,000... One left.

There's an 80% chance that Tamika has
less than the offer. The fiancé says "Let's go home."
We do. DEAL for $166,000. That's a lot of money and a happy ending, but
was it a good decision?
Lisa L. had $75. The new offer.. $255,000. Pilar had $200. The new
offer... $367,000. Brooke had ... the last MDC. In Tamika's case...
A great deal!
We soldier on with RYAN "Rhino" CLEGHORN, a firefighter from Oklahoma,
who's on a game that has obviously been edited into this episode (Howie
and the models are dressed differently). He's here to support the little
kid he has on the way. He works two jobs just so that the wife doesn't
have to.
Rhino's playing with 12 million dollar cases. Is one of them... case
#10?
Starting with six...
18 - $1,000,000... 11 left.
24 - $200
7 - $5
16 (Lisa L) - $1,000,000.... 10 left.
1 - $1,000,000... Nine left
22 - $300
Rhino's got a big offer coming his way. He's got nine big cases left,
and the banker is willing to pay out the wazoo for Rhino... who also
sells ladies' shoes... to leave.

Ryan's been in a lot of extreme
situations, especially one in which he used CPR to bring someone back to
life. Karma in action, as this offer could change his life. Still,
though... NO DEAL!
14 - $10
26 - "Sorry..." $1,000,000... Eight left.
4 - $750.
19 - BANOODLES!
11 - $1,000,000... Seven left.
It's still a good round, and the offer should reflect that. It is...

That's almost a quarter-million. Who
would know better what to do with it than people who slide in from the
rafters: Kevin (co-worker and brother-in-law), Shannon (sister), and
Valerie (wife). They all want the Rhino to charge on, and so he shall...
NO DEAL!

6 - ... Oops, meant five. $1,000,000
8 - "Oh my gosh..." $1,000,000

It's still a player's board, because next round has four MDCs and three
picks. The banker drops the offer to...

Not a steep drop. There's still a 64%
chance that Ryan is sitting on $1000 or less. There's no stopping the
Rhino. But there's plenty of stopping for us. This decision will have to
wait until next time. |
