World Tour:
South Africa
May 14
It's no secret that Deal or No Deal is not a new
idea in the world. When it premiered in 2005 in the US, it was the number one
game show worldwide in places like the Netherlands, Australia, and India.
Tonight. Howie continues his round-the-world jaunt as we arrive in South Africa
to play with Ed Jordan, the host of their version. Bald guy... black suit.
Let's be straight on some things. This is the
American game with American players playing for American money... with foreign
models. Although the most widely-spoken language in this country is Zulu, this
show is done in English.
Tonight, someone, perhaps ALLISON DOHENY, will walk out with 7.5 million rand...
or $1 million. Allison's dream of coming here is coming true. She's from Hermosa
Beach, CA, and she's playing to pay for her wedding.
Is her wedding in case #8? Let's find out. Precious, please...
If you turn 8, it's infinity. But we
can't talk forever. Open six, please.
3 - $1,000,000... off the bat... Not good...
24 - $25
15 - $500
12 - $25,000
21 - $10
19 - $300
No one likes the banker... his first offer...

That's a huge first offer. The highest
amount won on this stage is HALF that. Allison hasn't come this far to
give up on round 1.. NO DEAL.
Before we play on, let's meet the help, Alex (little sister), Renee
(best friend), and Tyler (fiancee). They want five cases. Here we go...
11 - $500,000

Before the next round, we get dancing Zulus and the realization that all
of the models here have been in FHM. Qualithy nice...
9 - $75,000
26 - $400,000

Only one amount bigger than that, and if
she hits that next, it's game over. The crowd says "NO DEAL"... that's
what Allison's going with.
More dancing!
13 - $1000
25 - $200
That's a better round, meaning that the banker's going to do better...
But first, Allison, who says that she's daring, gets a challenge from
the Banker... The offer... mopani worms. If you eat five of them, he'll
add $10,000 to her final prize total. I've been told they taste like
chicken. She downs them, no problem. And some of the models join in on
it. And Tyler. So she's guaranteed $10,000. Isn't that nice of the
banker?
The money offer this round, though...

So that brings her total deal to $24,000.
And maybe a stomachache. Does she push it or does she take the money and
run? NO DEAL.
6 - Michelle did eat a worm with her... $5000!
That'll bump the offer to...

... bringing the total deal to $32,000...
BUT there's more! Martha Stewart wants to meet up with Allison and get
her weddings expert to help plan out the wedding of her dreams. That
brings the total of her offer to... $35,200. OR she can open another
case. Mom says that Allie can't put a price on this...
Everyone's saying Deal all of a sudden... Good call. DEAL for $35,200!
But was it a good decision? #4 Kim had $50. Next money offer.. $37,000.
#22 had.. $100,000! In Allison's case...
Next up to play with Howie and Ed is
ROSALYN SIMS. We rewind how Anya surprised Rosalyn at the airport... and
how Rosalyn hates surprises. She's been married to the man of her dreams
for 25 years. Her daughter goes to college in Virginia.
Let's play the game... Rosalyn plays with #11.
Starting with six...
1 - $300
10 - $10
25 - $1,000,000
15 - $1000
3 - $25,000
7 - $5
Aside from the million, that was a good round. Small cases means big

NO DEAL!
Sitting with Ed today are Wally (husband), Latoya (daughter), and
Augustine (mother). The only person not here... her si-i-i-i-ster. She's
watching, though.
Pay attention. This is relevant.
17 - $75
21 - $750,000
14 - $200,000
5 - $100
18 - $300,000
That was a harsh round. Banker's going to be harsh, even though $500,000
is still in play. First, though, the banker brings out a surprise... a
jack-in-the-box...

not enough for her. NO DEAL.
22 - $5000
20 - $500
Before the other two, Howie got a surprise for Rosalyn... a S-i-i-i-ister
in the box. Now that everyone's here, the party can continue.

Nice round. Nice offer coming... Nice drumbeats, guys.

$70,000 is not enough for her to receive. NO DEAL.
Three cases.
24 - $200

Mom says deal. So does Rosalyn. DEAL for
$105,000, a new South African record (R750,000).
But was it the right decision? #13 had $400. Bank would've offered
$168,000. #23, $100,000. New offer... $187,000. #19 had... the $500,000.
In Rosalyn's case...
Special thanks to Ed, to Hector, to Kris,
to Noel, to Linda, to Alari, to Andrew, and to all the hosts of Deal or
No Deal all around the world... We're back in America next time.
