"Episode 2" -
February 8
Things got off to a nice start last
time, as Brian Traynor sold a $400 case for $109,000. Tonight,
we continue Theresa Daranciang's game, where the mini mountie
hopes to cash in with case #15.
This is what the board looks like at this time...

Theresa had just rejected a
$31,000 offer, so she now opens 3...
#9 - $5,000
#3 - $50
#13 - Unlucky for some, but lucky for her! LOONIE!
That was a nice round for Theresa, so the banker, who wasn't
expecting her to still be in the game, raises the offer...

Looking at her supporters,
Bernard is saying no deal, Alexi is saying deal, and Sara is
saying no deal. Theresa concurs with... Bernard and Sara. NO
DEAL!
2 to go this round...
#21 - $400
#20 - TOONIE!
Great round! That sends the offer in a predictable direction...
Up.

Her supporters are each saying
the same thing as before. And so does Theresa. NO DEAL!
It's 1 case at a time, now.
#8 - They're chanting "low"... They got it! $200
I think it's safe to say that Theresa is on a roll. The banker
knows it, and he wants her to take this offer, get off the
stage, and leave him alone.

Bernard wants Theresa to gamble.
Alexi doesn't. Theresa is worried that the $300,000 might be in
her case, but in the end, she decides to listen to Alexi this
time.
DEAL for $78,000! Let's hope that the $300,000 wasn't in her
case.
If Theresa were to continue, she'd have said #24, which had...
$75,000. That would've lowered the offer to $66,000. Next would
have been #18... $50,000 gone, sending the offer up to $94,000.
#12 had... $5, which would've resulted in $161,000. Uh-oh.
Theresa's case, #15, had...
Not a good deal. #23 had $25. She
was right to be worried.
Time for a new game, and a new player... Donald Lucas from
Grimsby, Ontario! He's 85 years old, and yet, he's done quite a
few things, like skydiving and whitewater rafting! He brought
his whole family with him, most of which are in the audience,
cheering him on.
Donald says "hi" to the ladies,
who respond with "Hi, Grandpa!" He then picks #14 as his case,
since he has 14 grandchildren.
After a kiss from the model
carrying that case (Jill), they get 6 of those other cases
opened...
#17 - Bad start. $1,000,000
#9 - $25
#23 - $200,000
#2 - $100
#5 - $5,000
#21 - $750
Well, the million is already gone, but it's still early, and
there's some big values still up there. So, the banker makes
this first offer...

Donald consults his family, and
they're saying no deal. He agrees before Howie can ask the
question.
NO DEAL! 5 to open...
#4 - $100,000
#24 - He wants to see the toonie gone, but this is better.
PENNY!
#15 - $75,000
#8 - There's the TOONIE!
#18 - $1,000
Definitely a better round. As a result, it went way up...

In the supporter area are one of
his grandsons (name not mentioned), Laurie Beth (she says she's
his favourite granddaughter, which the other granddaughters
boo), and Katie (his youngest daughter). We also find out that
Donald's a fan of hockey, but he couldn't get to many NHL games.
Anyway, everyone is saying no deal, and he concurs.
NO DEAL! 4 more cases, now...
#10 - $400
#19 - $5
#22 - $200
#3 - $500,000

Donald thinks the banker deserves
"2 minutes for cross-checking" for that, before noting that his
booth does seem to resemble a penalty box. And since we're on
the subject of hockey...
Here's Darryl Sittler, former captain of the Toronto Maple
Leafs! He joins Donald on the stage, and he says he'd go for it.
The supporters agree, and so does Donald. NO DEAL!
Darryl will be sticking around, sitting with the family, as
Donald continues by opening 3...
#25 - There's chants of "loonie"... This ain't it. $750,000
#12 - $25,000
#11 - $300
A big value went away, so the offer goes down again...

Donald's wife of 65 years says
she'd do whatever he does. He then shuts the cover. NO DEAL!
2 to go...
#6 - $50
#20 - After some commercials... Oh, no... $300,000
Ouch. That's gotta hurt. It certainly hurt the offer...

He could still try for $50,000,
and his supporters want him to do so. So he does.
NO DEAL! Entering "1 at a time" territory...
#26 - $10,000
The safety net for this one is gone, but the offer is up out of
pity, according to the banker.

It's a risk, but Donald decides
to continue pushing his luck, much to the dismay of the
supporters. NO DEAL! And Darryl applauds.
#7 - $500
It's still getting better, to the point that the banker says,
"Make this guy go away!"

There seems to be some mixed reaction from the family, but it's
Donald's decision. And he has decided that he has gone far
enough.
DEAL for $18,000! But was it a good deal?
Donald's case, #14, had...
So, it wasn't exactly a good
deal, but with the kind of board he had, I don't blame him for
taking the $18,000. #13 had $10, and #16 had the LOONIE.
That will do it for today. A new player will look for a great
deal next week.
