I hope someone will do a recap on that episode. There was a certain guy who have case 1 as his case and sold it for $236,000. Case #1 had been only chosen twice in the entire deal or no deal history which fascinates me. It was considered GLAC at one point in the past season but this season was interesting.

Next time

Case 1 is also my favourite, and I was very pleased to see it bring the million to the podium. A couple of things I noted from this post though:

Firstly, given that Neal had the million in his case, it was very bad luck that the last 6 cases he left on the stage all contained amounts from the left-hand side of the board, making it virtually impossible for him to win it.

Secondly, I notice how the next player started by eliminating case 1 first, and it contained $750,000. Does the second player in any episode watch the first player's game before their own? If so, I imagine 'mally logic' prevailed... and backfired. Case 1 seems to have changed its tune in season 3 massively; I've seen it hold mega money on a lot of occasions when it constantly used to contain left-hand amounts.
