Game Show NewsNet - Vas o No Vas

Episode 2 - October 28

Gordon: Welcome to another episode of Spain's favorite American game - Vas O No Vas. First place is a not too shabby $250,000. This works differently then the American Version of Deal Or No Deal. For starters, there's not 1, but 2 Fastest Finger questions. Joining us for this evening, a Canadian that has his own version of Deal or No Deal, Mr. Don Harpwood.
Don: Oh yeah!
Gordon: First question - Where is El Rio De La Plata? Answer - Argentina and Uruguay. The winner, which is determined by their T-Mobile Phone ringing...Rafael Corominas from Las Vegas!
Don: Yay!
Gordon: Second Question = Isabel Allende is famous for La Casa De...what? The answer is - Los Espiritos. The Winner is - Mayleen Rodriguez, from San Juan, Puerto Rico. We also have with us Aaron 'Plinko Boy' Huertas joining in.
Aaron: What's up, Guys? Thanks for having again.
Gordon: Next up...2 out of 3 questions. Rafael gets the first question right. Mayleen gets the second. Getting the third question....Rafael, and he goes on to play the board. Rafael is crying. His wife is crying. But before we go on, we see the Temptation Case. This case is to have Rafael stop now. Should he stop now, then Mayleen gets to play. The offer to stop right now...$20,000. In this version, there's only SIX cases higher. It's like me giving Aaron $100,000 to not even bother playing.
Aaron: I'll take the $100,000 now...DEAL
Gordon: Rafael turns it down, and we begin play. Here's the 26 cases.

6 A ABRIR

$ .01	$ 1,000
$ .25	$ 1,250
$ 1	$ 2,500
$ 5	$ 5,000
$ 10	$ 7,500
$ 25	$ 10,000
$ 50	$ 20,000
$ 75	$ 30,000
$ 100	$ 40,000
$ 100	$ 50,000
$ 200	$ 100,000
$ 400	$ 125,000
$ 500	$ 250,000

Gordon: As you can see, only 6 cases higher. Next up, we see the 26 models, who do a funky dance before scattering around Rafael. After the dance, they then walk up the stairs, and take position like the U.S. Formation. Rafael selects Case Number...#6. And we'll start picking...right after the break. Where is the $250,000?
Aaron: Plinko boy feels his luck. What's in box 6, is something much less than 250,000. I'd say 50,000. The 250,000 is in box 4, I think.
Gordon: I'll put $500 in #6 and $250,000 in 19
Don: I'll guess $1,250 in #6, and the big one in #14.
Gordon: Rafael's spouse is here, watching him pick off cases
Aaron: He is from San Turce PR
Gordon: And the picking begins. First case picked..#25. Inside the case...$1
Aaron: 19
Gordon: Starting off good. Second case...$7,500
Aaron: 16
Gordon: Has..$10,000
Aaron: 12
Gordon: We see...$125,000. Not good there.
Aaron: Yikes
Don: Eep.
Aaron: 13
Gordon: It's usually big numbers in the US version. here...$75. And now, we call Mayleen down, She can now guess what's in the next case. If she is right, she wins...
Joe: (Incidentally, the cheapest 2007 Ford Fusion is $17,995)
Gordon: A vacation via Costa Cruises around the Caribbean. Mayleen says $20,000 is in the case. The case being #21.
Aaron: ok that screaming is getting old... 21
Gordon: After a good luck yell, we see...$1,250
Gordon: Good number for Rafael. Bad number for Mayleen.
Gordon: 2 of the Big 8 are gone. The $250,000 is still there. The Banker,
looking all professional and Alexandra York-like is on. Her first offer - $3,200.

Aaron: No Vas. Too cheap.
Gordon: Everyone is booing the banker and even Rafael is wagging his finger. No Vas.
Aaron: And we have the Spanish Rockettes. Rafael is singing a popular Spanish salsa song. "You did witchcraft on me". That's what he's singing. Next is #4.
Gordon: ...is the PENNY case!
Don: Nice!
Gordon: That was a very bewitching selection.
Aaron: 24
Gordon: $30,000. Not so bewitching
Aaron: 22
Gordon: Has...$5,000.
Aaron: 15
Gordon: has..a measly $50. 1 more case to select for the round
Aaron: 9
Gordon: has...a little $300. For the most part, a very good round. Only $30,000 gone. The offer should go up. Buuuuut, before we see that, we see the Temptation Case. It still has $20,000. Rafael doesn't want it. The Bankers offer...$8,400.

Don: Not surprising.
Gordon: Back to selections
Aaron: 11
Gordon: BAD selection. $250,000
Don: Ouch.
Aaron: 20
Gordon: Much better this time. $400. Next selection...and the T-Mobile Phone rings. It's Rafael's Mommy.
Aaron: His mom told him to keep on playing. He selects #7 next.
Gordon: #7 is..not lucky. $20,000. #8 - $250,000...divided by $100. Only $2,500. I cant imagine this deal to be very big, and it's not - $7,000.

Gordon: It went down. Only 3 cases more than that. Conversely, there're 8 cases lower than that, including a quarter.
Don: I'd say No Vas.
Gordon: Knowing that he has to knock off 3 more cases, and knowing that should he knock off all of the Top 3, it's game over, Rafael says No Vas. Back to cases. The highest numbered case (26) has...the highest number left on the board. $100,000.
Don: Darn.
Gordon: #17 has..$500. #2...has...$1,000. However, another bad round for the player, and we could be seeing a lower offer from the bank. We do. Down to $5,600.

Don: That $20,000 is looking good right now...
Gordon: Yep. It should be really interesting to see what happens if it comes
back into play. Right now, however, Rafael says no deal. Do you take the
$20,000 if offered now?
Don: I probably would.
Aaron: I'd take it and go
Gordon: Rafael must take 2 more cases. Should he find both the $40,000 and $50,000, then we have a lot of garbage time left. #18...guarantees that we won't have garbage time right now. $25. #22...uh.oh...$40,000. Bank Offer...well it keeps going down. $4,800 this time.

Gordon: The Temptation Lady...is not budging out of her seat, so there's no $20,000 in play yet. No Voy from Rafael. We have our first potential Bomba. Should Rafael find the
$50,000, it's Game Over.
Don: Oh, boy...
Gordon: In #10....$10
Don: Nice!
Gordon: The bank offer is up...to $6,900.

Gordon: Only half of the Temptation Case
Don: That's a nice offer.
Gordon: Rafael wants to go at least one more. No Vas #1 says...we don't know what it says, because now, we have...TEMPTATION! NOW the $20,000 Temptation Case comes out to play.
Don: Wow.
Gordon: Soooo...what do you do now?
Gordon: 1 out of 4 chance to blow everything. You could walk off with $50,000...or take the quick $20,000.
Don: Hmm...
Gordon: Rafael and wife have a quick chat...And they...TAKE the Temptation Case!
Aaron: Yay!
Gordon: But was it the right move? In #1...$50,000. It was the right move.
Don: Oh, nice timing!
Gordon: Inside his case...$100.
Don: Wow
Gordon: So that ends this week. A special thanks to Don, and Aaron for hanging out. For everyone, this is Gordon Pepper, saying Game Over and Spread the Love.
