Recap of tonight's show!
Howie says that there will be a random instant contestant playing in tonight's episode, simply picked from the streets of Los Angeles by himself without going through the tedious application process.
Game #1
Contestants:
Annie Hewitt and
Aubrey Wentworth, who happen to be twins!
The models take the walk, without their cases!
Howie then reveals that tonight is Ladies Night and that there are no men in the audience for this game, and a disco ball appears from the ceiling.
In addition, the models are sitting out this game...
Then, the male models (from the Fire Departments of Los Angeles and San Diego) do the walk, now holding the cases, cuing to the song "Ladies Night."
Howie also reveals that their game will be a Double Deal game, with prizes ranging from $0.02 to a cool $2,000,000, and not only that, but also they have two chances to win the $2,000,000, because each of them will pick one case to be their own.
Chosen cases:
7 (Annie) and
23 (Aubrey)
Round 1: 6 Cases to open, chosen by Aubrey
18: $150,000
10: $600,000
11: $200,000
6: $150
14: $1,500,000
Big money going fast!
15: $400,000
A really huge hole has developed on the right side! A pear-shaped board this early in the game!!!
In that previous round, he calls some of the male models by the women's names that would normally be on the spots they're replacing!
Banker's offer:
$17,000!
Aubrey says
NO DEAL!
Before the commercial break, in the $50,000 (normally $10,000) Lucky Case Game, the six cases are being held by those firefighter models!
Back to the main game and...
Round 2: 5 Cases to open, chosen by Annie
8: $1,000
16: $400
2: $600
25: $2
17: $2,000,000
That was a very painful end to the round.
Despite the loss of the jackpot, the banker increased his offer by a little.
Banker's offer:
$25,000!
Annie says
NO DEAL!
Round 3: 4 Cases to open, chosen by Aubrey
20: $800,000
Virtually a one case game at this point.
5: $200
4: $20
13: $100
Beginning this round, Howie actually asks the firefighters their names when they get picked by the contestants, instead of calling them by the female names which would normally have been in their places.
Banker's offer:
$27,000 and a lifetime supply of
Doublemint Gum, valued at
$4,250, for a total of
$31,250
Aubrey says
NO DEAL!
Round 4: 3 Cases to open, chosen by Annie
21: $0.02
9: $800
22: $10,000
Banker's offer:
$44,000!
Annie says
NO DEAL!
Round 5: 2 Cases to open, chosen by Aubrey
24: $50,000 Starting to look unsafe.
12: $100,000 That is definitely NOT okay, even if it was not the million. Really a one case game at this point forward.
The Final 6 Cases
- $10
- $50
- $1,500
- $2,000
- $20,000
- $1,000,000
The gap between the $1,000,000 and the highest amount after that has gotten very huge. Volatility is quite high (42.44 if you care), even though there have been a few games that have had volatility higher that this (one game had a volatility at this point at 865.04!).
The banker apparently brings his twin brother(?) into the banker's room with him!
Banker's offer:
$86,000!
Aubrey says
NO DEAL!
Round 6: 1 Case to open, chosen by Annie
3: $1,000,000!
Game over!
Banker's offer:
$1,800!
Annie says
NO DEAL!
Round 7: 1 Case to open, chosen by Aubrey
26: $2,000
Banker's offer:
$3,500!
Aubrey says
NO DEAL!
Round 8: 1 Case to open, chosen by Annie

- $20,000
Banker's offer:
$6,000!
Annie says

Howie now sees if they made a good deal, and he opens Aubrey's case to reveal...
23: $1,500
So far so good. Now, Howie opens up Annie's case to reveal...
7: $10!
To prove it...
19: $20,000
Game Summary:
Peak offer: $86,000
Case values: $10 and $1,500
Prize won: $6,000
Result: Technical Banker Win [93-7]
Howie, now decides to go the random contestant search on the streets of Los Angeles, and gets on the limo!
He ends up going to a local mall and finds his contestant, who apparently works at a fast food place called Hot Dog On A Stick, and her name is Michelle.
It turns out that she has a twin sister of her own too (Jennifer), and so they try to assemble up her supporters on the fly, which will be her twin sister, her boyfriend and her father, and apparently none of them really know how to play the game!
The limo, with Howie, the new contestant and her twin sister in tow, still in their work uniforms, now go back straightaway to the studio, and apparently neither the contestant nor her twin sister can believe it.
The gallery has no models, but Howie brings them out, and this time, they do the walk
with their cases.
Throughout this game, her supporters come in, first her father, then her boyfriend, then her mother...
Also, a new audience is in for this game...
