We tried 11 times... and 11 times we were
met with failure, so we're ending the Million Dollar Mission with a
bang. Katie Henslin had 13 million dollar cases... 11 of them are still
in play.
Her case.... #8
Now to open five more cases as Petey
remains suspended in mid-air. He's afraid of heights, and every time
Katie opens an MDC, he's going flying.
5 - BANOODLES!
17 - $10
9 - Patricia's crying... and for good reason. $1,000,000
13 - $1,000,000. Nine left.
25 - ... make that eight. $1,000,000
Fifteen cases left, and of those cases, eight have the million. That's
little more than half. The first offer was $280,000. The next offer...

Still six figures. Let's meet the loved
ones, Brad (boss), Auntie Deb, and Tyler (younger brother). They all say
that Katie doesn't lose, so... NO DEAL.
Banker phones in again. He's bringing in his own support. What that
means... no idea, but they're carrying something.
Back to the game.
20 - $1,000,000. Seven left.
6 (Lanisha) - $1,000,000. Six left.
14 - $1,000,000... Five left.
1 - Skid stops at six. $75
After we hoist Petey up three levels, banker phones in with this
offer...

Another drop, but still, with a nice
little safety net... NO DEAL. Ride the horse 'til it falls over.
3 - Cousin Anna's choice... "Whoo-hoo!" $50
19 - $5
26 - $400
A great round! That means we're going to see a great offer...
But first, the banker's so confident that Katie isn't going away with
the million, that he rented a billboard for one week to say "Katie
Henslin, Loser." If she does, it'll be changed to "Katie Henslin...
winner". The offer...

A new high for this game, but she still
has that safety net. "Ride it 'til it falls over." NO DEAL.
16 - $100
That will tip the game to Katie's favor. The banker offers... another
level. With a 60 percent chance that she's sitting on a million, the new
offer is...

Peter goes up one, while the banker calls up with... a big hit.

That's still a lot of money. She still
has a 50/50 shot at a million.
NO DEAL!
Next case...

This is a big number. The banker respects
Katie for once. He respects her play. He wants her gone. The help says
roll it.
NO DEAL.
Now here's the deal. Heh. If the next case holds $200, then this game is
over, and Katie Henslin is a millionaire.
7 - "Good things happen to good people, and if anyone should win this
money, I pray that it's you..." $1,000,000

Some respect. The help is split for the
first time tonight. Some say that Katie's a fighter. Pete agrees. The
rest of the help wants her to take the deal.
Banker defines winning as leaving with nothing but a million, but Katie
hardly sees $449,000 as losing. DEAL!
The question now... what was in Katie's case?
Should've went with your gut instinct,
but for her daughter, she understandably could not risk it.
But the question remains... Will someone take the Deal for a million?
Find out next time. |
