Episode 3.1
September 17
It's been a long summer, but Howie,
the girls, and the cases are back for season number three. But
some things never change... The banker's just as evil as he once
was, the money's as big as it ever was, and the question on
which the outcome remains is still the same...
DEAL ... OR NO DEAL?
First player of the new season is
DONNA DiBIASE. She's a single mom from New York, now living in
Nashville with his son. She wants to "go home" if she wins big
today.
First case of the new season belongs
to Donna... It's #26.
As always, we start
with six.

Two of the big seven
are gone, but the million remains. And that's good. The banker
calls in with his first offer of the new year... And it's not
the banker on the other line. The banker didn't make it back
from summer break, so we have... DONALD TRUMP?! Talk about
throwing you off of your game... "Bankers are not nice
people..."

$96,000 won't get
Donna back to New York, says the help... It's a draw board. No
deal. "You have made a tragic mistake."
Before Donna left for Nashville, the last place she passed was
Trump Tower. She rubbed it for luck. Turns out to be working
well for him. She starts tearing up because Lisa, her friend
from that time, couldn't be here.
It's all about
family and friends, right? And from New York City comes... a
bus. And getting off the bus... More friends and family from New
York! AND... Mr. Met! Let's see what the foe from New York has
to say... "It's a shame you didn't listen to my advice. I'm
never wrong about money."
