Twenty-six women control twenty-six briefcases, each of which contains as little as a penny, and as much as $1 million. How much faith does a player have in the contents of the cases? Only the banker knows for sure.

Episode 3.20: Another Big Surprise
December 11

Last time on What's the Deal Week, Eric Serpico played Winner-Take-All Deal to win $60,001.

Next, we are going to secretly reveal what's inside a couple of cases. And we do it with the company of MARY BANFORD, a mom from Orem, UT, who loves musicals. She wants to go to Broadway if she wins tonight.

First, though, she has to claim a case. #11, to be exact.

... or she can open five more cases. And here to help out... a spotlight. No pressure. NO DEAL, either.

Meanwhile during the break, we assemble a full orchestra in the pit to play the theme music. Nice. A throwback to the games of old (and Twenty-One seven years ago).

M: "No no no! Don't do that to me!"

BANOODLES!

That was just cruel. Heh. Here's the new offer... And apparently it's so big, the banker needs a commercial break to fill it.

... and he has some help from Glinda of the Broadway show "Wicked". Her offer: the ultimate "Wicked" package. Personalized backstage tour meeting the whole cast, being onstage in costume being in the show, a trip to go to see the show tonight in a limo, and Glinda's magic wand. That's all worth $12,000. Added to $50,000 from the banker, and we have a total of...

Mary's Case

Next up, a player who has no idea he's going to play. That person... is EFREN AFONTE. He's in a holding room right now. He has no idea that he's about to play for a million... Well, he does now.

Efren's from Canada, and he currently lives in Oklahoma. He wants to win so he can be a weatherman ... and see his parents.

So we get the game going with case #15, the day he's getting married.
