Good evening, and welcome to another Deal USA live recap. We begin this week’s episode with some foreshadowing. A few hours before tonight’s broadcast, Deal USA’s official Twitter account, @DealNoDealCNBC, posted a short video of Howie Mandel providing some commentary on tonight’s game. Here is what he said.
“I think I’m going to throw up. I really do. You know when you get off a roller coaster and you feel really shaken and not stirred? I think I’m shaken. I am about to throw up. No spoilers, but this particular game was crazy.”Then, less than an hour before the game, there was another short video posted where a nearly speechless Howie said...
“Oh my God. Oh my God. They wanted me to make a... Oh my God. They wanted me to say something about what just (happened)... Oh my God. And I think...”At this point, Howie couldn’t finish his sentence, and he just walked off. So I guess that sets the tone for what we are about to bear witness to. I want to say we’re in for a good game, but those videos have me a bit worried. Then again, the producers could be trolling us big time, but for now, I’m going to watch the episode with those remarks from Howie in mind.
I think this is the first recap I’ve ever written that included a disclaimer. It’s also the first one where I will have a garbage can on standby, just in case I feel the need to ralf myself.

Our episode begins with Howie introducing tonight’s game from the Banker’s skybox. After the ladies descend with the cases, Howie returns to the stage to introduce to Sony Avalos. She’s been married to a former Marine for 18 years, has three children, and works as a family readiness officer for the Marines.
Sony claims to be the world’s biggest Deal superfan, and has won over
$6.3 million in pretend money playing the various Deal online and arcade games. Now, she gets to play the game for real. She also remembered Edward Tommasi’s game from the original series, best remembered for Ed’s willingness to do anything for a five-dollar bet.
Our contestant plans to use her winnings to help her family and move into a forever home. She picks case 26 because her daughter was born on August 26. Now that we’re all nice and acquainted, let’s go to work.
