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 3.22: Second Annual Christmas Show
December 25

Last time, two people went up against the new Deal Wheel. One of them, Efren Afonte, ended up with less than his deal: $148,000. The other, Anthony Moreira, ended up doubling his deal, $80,000.

Now it's Christmas time at the Deal, and here to share in the Holiday magic is HARRIET COHEN. After pinching the hosts' cheeks, the Northridge, CA resident tells us of her upcoming 50th anniversary. Her husband's a Santa Claus for the local fire department. Here to support her, the real firefighters from that department. If she wins the million, she wants to give some of the winnings to their "Toys for Needy Children" program, and she hopes to take the rest on a vacation.

Tonight is a special game... The $1 is now COAL. The $5 is now EGG NOG. The $10 is now FRUIT CAKE. Also, we're going to play with only 25 cases, so as much as we love the Boo-yah Bag... It's time for Lindsay to take a break. And finally, $25 was never put in a case. So that's automatically eliminated.

Now to choose one case to play with. Harriet wants #18.

?

18

Harriet's Case

Why that? It means "chai", or "life" in Hebrew. It's always been a good number for her. Meanwhile, let's get rid of five...

8

$300,000

15

EGG NOG!

9

$750,000

4

$750

10

FRUITCAKE!

Two of the "gifts" are gone, but our Grinch still remains. The banker offers first...

BANK OFFER
$39,000

 

$ 0.01 $ 1,000
COAL $ 5,000
EGG NOG $ 10,000
FRUITCAKE $ 25,000
$ 25 $ 50,000
$ 50 $ 75,000
$ 75 $ 100,000
$ 100 $ 200,000
$ 200 $ 300,000
$ 300 $ 400,000
$ 400 $ 500,000
$ 500 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000

Harriet can take that and walk away, or play on with five more cases. No deal it is.

In true holiday fashion, Howie has a gift for everyone in the audience, one of 12... a bobble-Howie.

Back to the five to go.

7

$300

22

$200,000

11

COAL! Howie called it

3

$75,000

16

Sweet 16... Not so sweet... $1 million

Three of the big seven still remain, up to $500,000. The banker, though, is not pleased. He dropped the offer to...

BANK OFFER
$29,000

 

$ 0.01 $ 1,000
COAL $ 5,000
EGG NOG $ 10,000
FRUITCAKE $ 25,000
$ 25 $ 50,000
$ 50 $ 75,000
$ 75 $ 100,000
$ 100 $ 200,000
$ 200 $ 300,000
$ 300 $ 400,000
$ 400 $ 500,000
$ 500 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000

Here to help out is Arnie (the Jewish Santa Claus and her husband), Jordan (son), and Felice (daughter). They all say not to take it... She doesn't.

Another gift to the audience... $200... and tickets to the premiere of "The Spiderwick Chronicles."

Four to go...

1

Fake out... $50

20

$500

24

$50,000

13

"VERY low." $200

We're back to a draw board. And as the snow begins to fall under Culver skies and Arnie returns as Santa Claus, the Banker warms up with this offer...

BANK OFFER
$61,000

 

$ 0.01 $ 1,000
COAL $ 5,000
EGG NOG $ 10,000
FRUITCAKE $ 25,000
$ 25 $ 50,000
$ 50 $ 75,000
$ 75 $ 100,000
$ 100 $ 200,000
$ 200 $ 300,000
$ 300 $ 400,000
$ 400 $ 500,000
$ 500 $ 750,000
$ 750 $ 1,000,000


It's back to a draw board again, with the next round offering three. Felice takes some advice she got from a psychic, and says no deal. Harriet follows suit. No deal.

Third audience present... A Nintendo DS with the Brain Age 2 and Deal or No Deal games.

Back to the game.

5

$5000

23

$500,000

14

$400

Whew! Still a draw board. Harriet's still got a one-in-four chance of six figures. The banker, based on this, offers...

BANK OFFER
$42,000

 

$ 0.01 $ 1,000
$ 75 $ 10,000
$ 100 $ 25,000
  $ 100,000
  $ 400,000


It's a hit, but not a big one. Jordan says that that won't buy all the toys they need. NO DEAL.

12

"Merry Christmas!" $75

6

$1000

That's sure to raise the offer.

BANK OFFER
$71,000

 

$ 0.01 $ 1,000
$ 75 $ 10,000
$ 100 $ 25,000
  $ 100,000
  $ 400,000

That's the biggest offer she's received tonight. But she's risking it to win another $329,000. Santa says to take the deal. So is it Santa or is it the kids? "I've never listened to Santa. I'm not going to start." NO DEAL.

Time for another present... a digital frame!

Okay, one more case.

19

19 - For Harriet's mother-in-law. $10,000. Small enough!

Harriet's other son in the orchestral pit has not missed a call yet. Banker calls in with... an offer that her son doesn't want to hear. Well we want to hear it.

BANK OFFER
$86,000

 

$ 0.01 $ 1,000
$ 75 $ 10,000
$ 100 $ 25,000
  $ 100,000
  $ 400,000

Five cases left. Two of them have big amounts. Alan, the son, says he's got the gold. He's picking the right cases, and he thinks that 18 has $100,000. She's got a 40% of six figures right now. She says NO DEAL!

Fifth audience gift... a robot vacuum.

"25, ma!" Alan thinks 100 is in there...

25

"You said you thought I had what?"
A: "$100"...

Streak intact.

The banker isn't too pleased with Alan right now. He offers...

BANK OFFER
$129,000

 

$ 0.01 $ 1,000
$ 75 $ 10,000
$ 100 $ 25,000
  $ 100,000
  $ 400,000

$129,000.

Alan says that Stacey is holding $400,000. He's got a gut feeling. That's the only amount higher than the offer. Will she take it? She can help the kids and take a vacation finally. But will she bite at the offer? Yep. DEAL for $129,000!

But was it the right decision? Alan said Jenelle had a penny. Jenelle said... "You are so scary." Bank offer... $184,000. Alan said $25,000 in Tameka's case. Streak ends here. She had $100,000. New offer: $215,000. In Harriet's Case...

$25,000

18

Harriet's Case

A great deal!

As for Alan, I have two words... Atlantic City.

Before we get to a new game, here's another gift for the audience... free gas.

Next up, let's meet JENNIFER MASCHE. She's the proud new mom of six babies. She has three boys and three girls, so when Family Feud returns in 18 years after a brief hiatus, we have a team there.

Okay, we have a special million, with six baby faces. Other than that, the game we played in the last hour is the same game we're going to play right now. Only this time, Jennifer is going to play case #6.

Helping out today with the case picking is Bryan (the man in the relationship), Jami (sister), and Kristin (friend). That is guaranteed money, the $74,000... but it's not enough for diapers. NO DEAL.
