Can you Deal with another episode? CNBC sure can, so I’m bringing it to you right now.

Our next contestant is Toni Miller, a real estate agent from Los Angeles. She’s also a wife and mother, and loves to play high-stakes games of Monopoly with her family where they go all-in. She plans to use her winnings to buy a new car - specifically, a red minivan with a fridge inside - and a new house.

Toni’s case is the ol’ Death Box from Deal UK, number 22. Before the game starts, the usual gold bars on the game board switch to the colours from the Monopoly board. Every time Toni knocks out a section of colours - getting a Monopoly - she’ll win a bonus prize.

And now, it’s juice and jam time.

Round 1
[15] - $500,000
[26] - $.01
[16] - $5,000
[9] - $200,000
[11] - $25,000
[19] - $1,000,000

Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200. That was not a great round. The Banker opens with

BANKER'S OFFER

$9,000


Toni says NO DEAL.

Round 2
[13] - $5
[17] - $100
[4] - $75,000
[21] - $25

One more cases left to open, and we’ll open that case after the break.

We’re back with the final case of Round 2.

[3] - $1,000

The new offer is

BANKER'S OFFER

$26,000


Supporter time. We meet Toni’s friend Justin, who is a real estate investor, her younger sister Bree and her husband Christopher.

Toni wastes no time with he decision. She says NO DEAL.

Round 3
[25] - $750,000
That gives Tony a Monopoly, and her first bonus is $1 added to all of her next bank offers.
[1] - $300,000
[6] - $300
[10] - $500

Here comes the next offer, and it’s

BANKER'S OFFER

$15,000 + $1 Bonus = $15,001


Toni says NO DEAL.

Round 3
[2] - $50
Another Monopoly, and it’s $10,000 added to all of Toni’s next bank offers.

More case-opening action is coming up right after the break.

We’re back to complete the third round.

[18] - $10
[14] - $100,000
Another Monopoly, and this time, $1,000 will be added to every bank offer.

Speaking of, here is the next offer.

BANKER'S OFFER

$15,000 + $11,001 Bonus = $26,001


Toni says NO DEAL and almost breaks the cover off of the deal button in the process.

Round 5
[24] - $400
Another Monopoly completed, and this one will add $5,000 to every bank offer.
[5] - $750
That’s another Monopoly, and this one will see every offer increase by $3,000.

So, if you’ve keeping count, that means every offer from here on it will be increased by $19,001. We’ll find out what the next offer is after the break.

We’re back, and the next offer is

BANKER'S OFFER

$21,000 + $19,001 Bonus = $40,001


Toni reiterates her story about the Monopoly games she plays with her family, and how she goes all-in. She plans to do just that in this game, so she says NO DEAL.

Round 6
[20] - $75

Toni avoided the land mine yet again, resulting in an offer of

BANKER'S OFFER

$53,000 + $19,001 Bonus = $72,001


Toni says NO DEAL.

Round 7
[23] - $10,000

The board at this point:

$1
$200

$50,000
$400,000


And the offer is...

BANKER'S OFFER

$76,000 + $19,001 Bonus = $95,001


If Toni goes on, the next case she opens will give her another Monopoly and another bonus. Howie gives Toni some time to mull over her decision, which is code word for break time. We’ll be right back.

We’re back once again. Toni’s arrived at her decision, and it’s NO DEAL.

Round 8
Toni asks her mom, who is in the audience, to pick the next case. She says number 12.

[12] - $50,000
Another Monopoly complete, meaning $2,000 will be added to the next offers. That’s $21,001 total.

Somehow, Toni is still clinging to life in this game. The next offer is:

BANKER'S OFFER

$131,000 + $21,001 Bonus = $152,001


Justin suggests a counter offer of $195,000. Toni does decide to counter, and her counter offer is

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

$187,000


The Banker calls back quickly. Howie says she ran some numbers, but ultimately decided to say NO DEAL.

Round 9
[7] - $1
That’s another Monopoly completed, and the bonus this time is a bright red Chrysler Pacifica minivan, Toni’s dream car.

A massive decision awaits our gutsy realtor, and that comes right after the final break.

Welcome back to the thrilling conclusion of Toni Miller’s game. At one point, she looked dead in the water, but Toni managed to keep the last remaining Power 7 amount, the $400,000, in play until the very end. The other amount is $200, which is somewhat symbolic to this game because that’s the amount players receive when they pass GO in Monopoly.

The final offer is:

BANKER'S OFFER

$167,000 + $21,001 Bonus = $188,001


Toni says NO DEAL :shock:. No one can believe it.

So it’s come down to this. One case has two bills inside, and the other has 400 grand. No swap is offered to Toni (it may have originally been, but was edited out in post-production).

Howie opens case 22, and reveals...




































$400,000 :D!!!

A pitch invasion ensues. I can’t believe she went for it. Holy boats. That... that was insane. It’s like the reverse of what He Who Must Not Be Named did back in December 2018.

Case 8 is opened to complete the game, and we know the $200 is in there.

I guess Toni was serious when she said she goes all-in when she plays Monopoly, and that approach on Deal or No Deal netted her a total of $455,283 in cash and van. I still can’t believe what I just saw. Wow, wow, wow.

A game like this one is a tough act to follow. We’ll see how two new contestants fare in two more back-to-back episodes next week. Until then, good night and good deals.

(...Did that game actually just happen? It did? Oh my god. I... I can’t even. Good thing I have a week to recover.)

What the actual heck??????!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

That was the first OPW on a regular board from going all the way, despite at least 4 people previously being a 50/50 chance away from doing so themselves.

I guess we were LONG overdue to have a big win from completely risk oblivious play. Even with the Monopoly bonuses, I definitely would've stopped with 3 cases left at the latest.

The bonuses made it a lot easier to chase that game. I wouldn't have chased it all the way, but I'd have chased it further than normal. (If you think about it, the $200/$400k finish was... if I'm judging this correctly the cash bonuses are built into the offers but were also awarded if, as she did, there was no Deal? So effectively the car was safe and she had a $21k/$421k finish with an offer of $188k. I'm not even sure that's in the top 100 worst No Deals of all time.)

That was basically a Quebec game on steroids.
