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 4.16: Christmas Show III
December 25

Ashley Otte had a happy Thanksgiving with $260,000. But now it's all about the fat man in the Red Suit. That's right, a holiday tradition in the game show world continues with Deal or No Deal's Christmas show!

First up tonight... an entire family, THE CALHOUN FAMILY. They are a family of 34, but only three are playing: James the father and two of his kids, Gina and Joshua. The house is packed for the holidays, and they want to expand the house with the money that they win tonight.

Gina drew first, so she'll start the game with the choice of gift. She chooses #13.

Calhouns' gift

Starting with six...

17 (Tiffany) - $10,000
4 (Keltie) - $100... and a Blitzen

Now what does Blitzen have to do with anything? Well, in addition to the game, we're playing Reindeer Games. If you reveal all nine of Santa's pack before you take a deal, you'll also win another $25,000.

3 (Lisa G.) - $500,000
23 (Taylorr) - $750,000
19 (Amanza) - $25 and COMET
22 (Crystal) - $500

Now one person in this room wants to be a holiday villain... the Scrooge... the Grinch... The Banker... First offer...
