Here we go with another Le Banquier recap. Julie Snyder welcomes us to the show, and we see that the set has been transformed into a construction site. And there's a reason for that - our contestant is a construction worker.
Chloe Gosselin, 21, is from Terrebonne. She also knows how to make an entrance, as she arrives on set driving what our British friends call a JCB. Chloe looks every part a construction worker, as she is dressed in an orange jumpsuit and white hard hat. She tells Julie that she works in a very male-dominated industry, but that she enjoys her work immensely. Chloe plans to put some of her winnings towards a dream vacation to Thailand.
The models then descend, and instead of the usual 26, we get 26 mostly shirtless men dressed as construction workers, much to the delight of Chloe, Julie, and Chloe's three female supporters. They are all carrying numbered tool boxes instead of cases. The Surprise and Capital One bonuses are in play as usual, so Chloe picks tool box 9 to start the game.

A rough first round. Monsieur le Banquier responds accordingly.

REFUSÉEAnd now, here's your Round 5 Random Fact. Unlike the UK Banker, who is quite vocal and loves to taunt the contestants or explain things to them, the Quebec Banker is far more reserved. Once in a while, Julie will relay a small quip or two from him, but he generally does little more than make offers.

$100 - The blue streak continues!
Offre du Banquier: $88,000Chloe says:

$75 / Surprise - The Surprise is a trip to Thailand from Expedia.ca worth
$7,000. Chloe is ecstatic, as she now gets to take her dream vacation.
Offre du Banquier: $88,000 - He's sticking? Not so, says Julie. The big doors then open to reveal a bright red 2014 Nissan Titan V8, worth
$51,000. That makes the total value of the offer
$139,000.
Chloe says:
ACCEPTÉEOur construction worker has secured herself a nice chunk of change, plus a sweet ride. But was it a good deal? Let's find out.

Offre du Banquier aurait été: $193,000Round 9 - 1 to open[17] -
$100,000 - Uh-oh.
Offre du Banquier aurait été: $278,000 on a
$5 /
$500,000 finish. In live play, it would've likely been much less than that.
Did Chloe just make a huge mistake? Julie opens tool box 9 and reveals
$5 inside. Phew! The other remaining tool box, #5, had the
$500,000.
Chloe's heading back to Terrebonne with a grand total of
$156,000 in cash and stuff. Not a bad haul for roughly 48 minutes of picking random numbers.
Next time on Le Banquier, we get our burlesque on. I think I'm really going to enjoy recapping that episode, if you know what I mean

The offer she dealt was a very interesting decision, and it really comes down how much utility a luxury car has to you. Since it has little utility to me, it would've been a definite $193,000 for me in this game.
