Hmm, what shall I recap? 'Mijn Tent Is Top', which was on another channel and is also available online? Nah. This is it.

We'll skip the quiz. No we won't if there's a question on the 'hip London gym Gymbox' using humans as weights. Yyyyessss. They do other bizarre things, and the 'chav fighting' class is a work of pure genius. Linda admits it's 'bizarre'. That one is in round 3, with Block 3 having won through, and it's the lower tier (Blok A) who win and become the 'case openers in the finale'. The top five go through - Joke, Hermano, Martijn, Ria and Toos - and they're joined by random remote pick from block 7B, seat 2, Trudy.

First question - do you think the Dutch Eurovision entry will make the final? (They've entered probably their biggest band, Toppers - I've seen adverts for their live DVD on Miljoenenjacht when it was streamed live including the adverts.) 190 say yes, 304 say no. Linda sounds shocked... Trudy is out with her guess of 410, winning €1,000. Toos accidentally guessed 7, but got away with it.

Second question, hilariously, asks whether the audience members would do... something (retire?) if they won a million euro. Rub it in, why don't you. 373 say yes. Joke goes out with her guess of 250 - she gets €2,000.

Third question, totally untranslatable. 74 say yes, Hermano's guess of 270 sends him home with €3,000.

Final question - 'do you find yourself photogenic?'. Didn't we ask that last week as 'do you find yourself sexy?'? Yes, we did. I sense a screenshot coming.

The guy at the front thinks his wife's photogenic but not him. His wife says the opposite. The only photogenic person in this shot is actually the host.

95 say yes, 399 say no... this audience displays brutal honest for the second time in minutes... and Toos is out, with a guess of 175. €4,000 for her.

Ria vs Martijn in the money clock push-the-button-don't-push-the-button faceoff. Ria has three daughters of whom the oldest (I think she said) is 28, but she looks rather young - she's aged well. Martijn also has three kids. Now, how's the clock going to accelerate? In strange €1,400 jumps... going fairly quickly... not so much now... oh here it accelerates... Martijn is gone at €39,900! Ria can't believe her luck, she's playing for the jackpot and is utterly astonished!

Image
This picture warrants a smiley of its own...

...SHE WAS GOING TO STOP AT €40,000!!!! Now we find out how much was in the case... €103,000!! The first six-figure sum ever in that case!! Genuine shock from the crowd. I'd have pushed it to maybe €60,000...

I think Linda just said this is the last of the series. So here's your last model photograph of the series.

Image
Orange shininess.

It's case 11 for her, and this is indeed the last of the series. Aww, I was hoping for (and sort of expecting) one or two more, but I expected them later. Maybe we'll get three runs this year.

Linda tells Ria she's playing the 'Deal or No Deal game with the Bank'. That's one way to put it. Mark Muis (pronounced 'mouse') wins a random ten grand before that. She has a female family member with her, her sister I think. Plans for the money are mentioned, she mentions her kids and I didn't understand the rest. Let the game begin!

Round 1
26 (guess €10,000) - €500,000. Groans from the crowd, a nervous smile from Ria.
18 (guess €250,000, which isn't on the board!! Oh make that €200,000) - €1,000,000! 'Oh dear!'
12 (guess €25,000) - €750,000!! What a horrendous start...
1 (guess €25,000) - €25,000!! That's €23,000 for the old lady in the corner!
5 (guess €100,000) - €2,500,000! Linda covers her face. How freaking volatile do you want this? 'I've got the five million' she says, in hope rather than expectation I can only presume and hope.
23 (guess €5) - €10,000. Six out of six on the right... and already, the second highest on the board is €400,000... 'so not the best opening offer from the bank' predicts Linda...

Offer €12,500

Obviously NO DEAL. At least give this game a chance on the Keran Principle! Though given the offers being traditionally based on the mean, this is about keeping €5m long enough for a life-changing offer.

Round 2
8 (guess €75,000) - €100,000! Linda is shocked. She'd already demanded her to pick something from 'the left, please!'.
15 (guess €20) - Linda demands 'the first from the left column' - €0.01! Well that's the way to do it.
17 (guess €1) - €20. Now the crowd are up for this.
3 (guess €0.20) - €100.
6 (guess €300,000) - €300,000! After a seemingly amusing exchange I lost in translation. €16,000 for him!

It's been about the jackpot since before the first offer. This was a round of survival. I can't believe it's already there. Linda mentions it's a 1-in-15 chance she has it...

Offer €38,000

Linda reminds her she was planning to stop at €40,000 in the showdown. NO DEAL now might well be her last.

Round 3
21 (guess €5,000) - €2,500. Near enough.
14 (guess €0.20) - €50,000. Isolated claps die out immediately. It'll do...
2 (guess €50) - €50! €13,000 for him and good news for Ria also!
20 (guess €5,000) - €75,000. Seen as worse than it is. I think we have a Deal imminent... the only sums on the right backing up the jackpot are €400,000 and €200,000.

Offer €95,000

And I would understand it if she was to take it. I think I'd have to play on with an 8/11 chance of the offer probably doubling or more, but that's a heck of a decision in a way it wouldn't be on a similar but lower-stakes board. Linda talks through the odds and possible outcomes. She's giving this some serious thought, and I don't blame her. Case is opened, crowd are shouting various things... NO DEAL! Linda is shocked...

Round 4
10 (guess €10) - €500. Linda points out to Ria there's two left to open, and that the chances of her having the jackpot case is 10%.
19 (guess €200,000) - after the break... €1,000! Linda affords herself an air punch.
After an exchange in which 25 was suggested...
24 (guess €400,000) - €1! Linda lifts her arms aloft and gets excited as well she might!

'All three huge amounts' remain, I think she said. This is mega-money time.

Offer €260,000

And that's Deal time if you ask me! Linda is open-mouthed, genuinely did not expect that. I anticipated a double myself - but see also my remark about mean-bound offers earlier. It's a 75% chance of about double that, but I'm not risking that on this money. Linda points out the 25% chance of hitting the jackpot, amongst others. Audience is shut up... her friend/family member/whatever in the audience says Deal... 'it's serious money' says Linda... case is opened and crowd stirs... and with little hesitation, DEAL! And you can't argue with that!

'Not €5,000,000 in your case!'

Round 5 (proveout)
22 (guess €10) - €5,000,000!! And the crowd erupts! The OPW is already all but assured! 'The perfect moment to stop!'
16 (guess €0.50) - €10.

Offer would have been around €60,000 probably.

Round 6 (proveout)
4 (guess €400,000) - €5,000.

That might've bumped it to €90k at a push. I'd have been gone in a flash if so.

Round 7 (proveout)
13 (guess €0.50) - €5.

Would be six figures now...

Round 8 (proveout)
7 (guess €400,000) - €0.20!

Good grief... would be about €200,000... surely not...

Round 9 (proveout)
25 (guess €400,000) - €200,000...

...'bizarre' as Linda puts it... it's still an OPW if there's 50 cents in the case... case 9 guesses so... and is RIGHT! She has €400,000, case 11 has just €0.50 and she sold it for a €260,000 OPW!!

Well, I don't know when this will be back, but when it is, I intend to recap it!

Five, as there was one on the 12th I didn't recap - I will do so as an extra treat later this week.

Was unusually early too, I'm used to seeing the show return... well, about now. A very good short series, though!
