Halloween has come once again to the set of Le Banquier, bringing with it an array of costumed people. Julie, our hostess, is dressed as an angel, but when she turns around, she becomes a devil. There's a joke I can make about Quebec politics there, but I'll abstain, since none of you would get it, anyway.
Also in costume is our contestant for the evening, 33-year-old Geneviève Draws, a first-grade teacher from St-Colomban, Quebec. She is dressed as a witch.
Holding the cases tonight are 26 costumed celebrities. They'll play an important role in this game, as Geneviève will win an extra $500 for each one that she and Julie can identify by asking them questions.
Geneviève selects case 7, and correctly identifies the celebrity holding it, earning $500 right off the bat.

Round 6[16] -
$500While watching this with my friend, we both agreed that this offer should be dealt. Geneviève, however, seemed more interested in chasing the money, so she says
REFUSÉE.
My friend then said, "She's way too greedy. Declining that offer will come back to bite her in the a$$."
Round 7[24] -
$400,000 - Sure enough, my friend was exactly right.
Realizing that she should have dealt the $119,000 offer, Geneviève says
ACCEPTÉE.

We already know that our contestant played on when she really shouldn't have, but did she make a profit on her case? Julie opens case 7 and reveals
$125,000, indicating that she did not. The
$75 was in case 3.
Geneviève returns to St-Colomban with
$128,300 in cash and stuff, including
$9,000 for identifying 18 of the 26 costumed celebrities.
Join me next week for more fun on Le Banquier. Until then, good night, and good deals.
