In 200 episodes of Deal or No Deal, the
million has been won exactly TWICE. So how will the most popular game
show in primetime outdo itself? By offering TWO million.
We start with a changeup... Stacey
introduces the ladies, Howie holds case #2. Okay, we should probably
switch places now. That's better.
Okay, now to the game. Tonight's player
is STEVE SMILEY. He's from Sparks, NV, where he ships and trucks dog
food. On the side, he's known as "The Wiener King" for his hot dog cart.
He wants to use the money tonight to replace his single-wide with a
double-wide.
As we said before, tonight's board
features... $2 million!

He says it would take him about 100 years
to make $68,000, but it's not about the money, it's the people. There's
a 33 percent chance that he has more than the offer. The daughter wants
one more time...
NO DEAL!

Wife says to take a deep breath...
And Steve does. DEAL for $60,000! But
what would've happened?
In Steve's case...
Great deal!
Let's move right into our next dealer,
TIA LAMPONE, who comes from the vault, so she has no idea what's about
to happen. What we do know for sure is that Tia likes headbutts. She's
from Pittsburgh, but she's currently a student at UNC-Charlotte. She's
also a track star and a mother of a two-year-old. She likes to do things
fast... She wants to take her father to Italy if she wins big.
Headbutts hurt.
Okay, same money configurations for Tia's
game as for Steve's. So let's see if the $2 million is in case #2.
Starting with six cases...
5 (Ursula) - $300
6 (Megan) - $400
7 (Sara) - $2,000,000
12 (Lauren) - $10,000
9 (Patricia) - $10
15 (Brooke) - $1000
Good round ruined by a) Sara's case, and
2) a headbutt. The first offer.

Still a lot. There's a four-in-11 shot at
six figures, though. Still a great net. NO DEAL.
Tia's game finishes up next week. |
