Episode 4.7
October 22
Last time on the Deal, Layna Dugan
celebrated her honeymoon by taking $27,000 from the Banker. In her case,
$25,000. So nothing ventured nothing gained, but now, a male nurse is
ready to operate on the board with seven Million Dollar Cases.
Let's meet tonight's contestant. RICHIE
BELL is a nurse, and has been for 18. He comes from a family of nurses,
and they all think that it's a high-pressure job. He can handle the
pressure, but can he handle what we've got in store tonight?
Before we continue, though... Howie
brings out his nurses... all 26 of them. Hellooooooooo nurse!
Now this is a Million Dollar Mission game
with SEVEN Million Dollar Cases.

... or five more cases. He works great
under pressure... NO DEAL!
Richie moved his whole family into a new
house, so he's playing for his own room... and a swimming pool. "He
wants to eat, drink, and float."
8 (Mariela) - $5
21 (Tameka) - $1,000,000... Five left.
22 (Crystal) - Make that four.
4 (Keltie) - $400
6 (Megan) - $10
"He says you're going to play, crash, and
burn." Two big cases went away, so the Banker drops the offer...

We have the entire nursing staff with

AND... another phone call. The banker
wants to throw in a pink girly bunk bed. It's worth $826.31, to bring
the total value of the offer to $195,826.31.
As tempting as that sounds, this is a NO
DEAL and an invitation to therapy.
17 (Jenelle) - $1,000,000... Three left.
20 (Alike) - "Eat, drink, and float!" $10,000

And on top of that, a test to see how
well he handles the pressure. This one is worth $10,000 aside from the
game... It'll have to do with his heart rate, which, right now, is at
115, thanks to a pulse oximeter. He's WAY above normal.
Back to the game, though. He's playing
for all the nurses back home that he fought for and won. Lewis (nephew)
wants him to play on, so... NO DEAL!
23 (Aubrie) - $1,000,000... Two left.
3 (Lisa G) - $25
Now it's time for the second part of the
Banker's Challenge... if he can hold his heart rate below 140 throughout
the next offer, he'll throw in $10,000 on top of whatever you win today.
Calling at 123.
Breaking at 118...

... at 118. There's a 67% chance that
Richie is holding less than the offer. Richie talks about his
family at 126... Answer at 131...
NO DEAL... at 131! That's $10,000 in
pocket.
25 (Hayley) - 21, 22, 23, and 26 all had
the million. 25 has... $500!

We're up to a 40% chance that Richie is a
millionaire. Mom says no deal. Richie... listens to momma. NO DEAL!
24 (Kelly) - four of the 20s had the
million. One of them had $500. Kelly's case has... $200!

He's got a two-out-of-three chance that
he's a millionaire. Is that a chance worth taking? Trisha says one more
time... Lynn says finish it.. The crowd says one more time... NO DEAL!
This is a very important case now...
If this case has a dollar... he's a
millionaire.
9 (Patricia) - $1.... million. One left.

Book says to play it. But the worst month
for Richie is November. That's the last case remaining, NOVEMBER. The
family says that it's not worth the gamble. Don't be greedy. It's more
than what you wanted.
Will he go with his mother...
... or will he go with his gut?
He goes... with his gut. NO DEAL!
Will he switch cases now? No. So he's
going home with either a dollar or a million. Actually, he's got $10,000
in his pocket already.
The bottom line is... Richie Bell is
walking away with $10,000 plus...
...
...
... one dollar. That's $10,001. Apologies
all around, but Richie is to be commended for playing bravely, albeit
foolishly.
The Million Dollar Mission continues next
time. |
