Last time, Marisa Ortiz
couldn't keep her promise, as she left with $63,000. It was better than
her case, $5000. Now Jallah Leonard is in the deal with case #23.
We begin with a call
from the banker. He wants to introduce the models... No.
Jallah continues with four
cases to open.

Which means that Jallah Leonard has won....
A dollar.
Time to reset and bring up a
new player, LARRY BALES. Larry comes from Iowa, where he plays country
music. He's engaged. He hopes to be married before the day is out. His
two families (biological and musical) are on hand to support him.
Eight children + 14
grandchildren + 87 degrees outside = ... 14.
"Can I keep her?"
That's up to NBC. Anyway, we start the party with six.

"If this is a low amount are you going to ask me to wait
in the third truck?"
L: "I'm gonna buy you a boat!"
"We're not going sailing."

The banker still
thinks that $25 is in his case. Numbers say to take it. Larry...
doesn't. NO DEAL. No switch, which means Larry won...
... What the banker
said he would win.
Through the magic of
editing, the models reappear with new dresses. Howie appears with a new
shirt. And we appear with a new player, SUMMER ANDREW (C-note: Not a
good enough edit, as she's referred to as "the first contestant"). She
just moved to Chino Valley, AZ, where she's a stay-at-home mom. Craig,
her husband, is also in the stands. He loves the online game, but he's
terrible at it. So she says.
Another early call from the
banker... He wants Craig to play the online game while Summer plays the
real game. In the end, she'll have to choose whether to take home what
she has won or what Craig has won. To that end, banker drone escorts
Craig to sequester.
Meanwhile, Summer picks #3
for her three girls.
Starting with six...

Summer's really good
at this. All the big seven are in play. The banker's also in
play. We'll get to him in a sec, but let's see how Craig is
doing... He's taken off $50, $100, $200, $750, $75,000, and
$750,000. And he's picked case #12.
Back to Summer and
the banker, who offers... well, who cares what he offered.
Summer says NO DEAL! Turns out she turned down $72,000 after
Howie took the offer during the break.
Pick five, girl...

Aside from that
first pick, this was a good round. This time, Summer wants an
offer. It dropped.

We've got a big
cushion. The help wants Summer to git-r-done. She needs a little
more money. NO DEAL.
Update on Craig's board:
after round 3, he's got $300K, $400K, and the million still in play.
Now to the studio board.
It's not a penny,
but it's not bad. We've got a dealer's board now. The banker
offers...

Three cases have
more than $100,000. That's enough for a house, what the banker
is offering, but it's all up to Summer. So many questions. So
many figures. So many options...
And it all leads to one
conclusion... NO DEAL.
|
"I hope I have a little
one..." She's got a
BIG one. $1,000,000 |

Offer dropped
$100,000. And here comes the Bronx cheer from the audience. Did
Craig take an offer? Will Summer take this one? There's a
one-in-three chance at more than the bank offer. The kids say
"No deal." Dad wants one more case. "I swore I would never do
this..." She shuts the box. NO DEAL.
Better. Banker's
offer. Better.

That's a lot of
money, but consider that there is a little safety net thanks to
the banker lowballing the offer. He wants her to stick around.
Her brother told her to shoot for the stars, but don't be
ashamed if you land on the moon. The crowd wants one more
case...
DEAL for $59,000... MAYBE.
Hayley had $500. Bank
offer.. $136,000. Anya had... $500,000. Bank offer... $28,000. In
Summer's case...
Banoodles the
Monkey. But she has one more choice to make. Will she take the
$59,000... or what Craig ended up with?
The banker's drone
enters with Craig's case. Craig knows the outcome of Summer's
game. Summer does not know the outcome of his game. Dad says to
go with her gut. Craig wants her to take his deal. The best
friend wants Summer to take Craig's deal... Sister says so as
well.
"I'M GOING WITH
CRAIG'S CASE!"
Inside Craig's
case...
A great deal for him AND for
Summer! Must've been his lucky.
Next week, a bit of summer
in the dead of winter. |
