The Million Dollar Mission Continues Wednesday Night, with a Celebrity Model (Ellen DeGeneres to be exact)

anyway Marissa's case held $50 not $25,000. Too bad she had the $100,000 all along.

Another MDM game where someone doesn't take a great offer and ends up knocking out all the MDC available to them. As for the dream package that Margarita won, these kinds of things are offered on Le Banquier here in Québec. The funny thing is, they're almost always accepted, and the result is almost always an OBW. Example: someone takes an offer that consists of $31,000 and a new boat (it's only the third or fourth offer or something); the proveouts done afterwards show that the player had almost 5 times that ($150,000) in their case. But hey, what's in your case doesn't matter when you win your dream.

And for the record - minor spoiler here -, Ellen DeGeneres, who is a big fan of the show, will be holding Case 4, temporararily replacing Keltie. Just thought you'd like to know.

I'd have cut and run at $173,000, but contestants are loathe to take an offer below one they've turned down already. At least she came back, and had the sense to take an AMO even if it needed to be in the NBC cash + prize style.

Is that truck going to stay on the board or was that just some weird random product placement because she wanted one?

BTW, I presume 6 had a $1,000,000 not another $750. That would match everything else, including the offer drop. I might have been tempted to take the $268k or $284k thinking 'do I really want any more?' but mathematically, it was an utterly sensible call to play on. $173,000, far less so, though even then there was the 80% chance of an improvement, probably to around a quarter-mill again.

Talk about a big banker win: Somebody ends up ND'ing a $289K offer and STILL sells a $100K case for a LOSS!

She was a bit greedy (Took an AMO to get her to deal). Normally, dealing at 6-box is not optimum strategy, but if there was a time to do it, I'd have done it here. I, mean, the offer going UP after a not-a-good round (which RARELY happens here), not to mention being generous for the board? I think I'd have gotten an OPW if I were playing. In THIS game, I'd have no-dealt the 8-box offer here (It went down after a good round!).

So, that makes now what: 36 consecutive games without an OPW now? (Mark77, that's for your signature: The # streak of games without an OPW.)

Also, did I read the offers correctly: How did it go down after Round 4 (when the highest amount knocked out wasa car that replaced the $50K, and go up in Round 5 after knocking out one of the $1Ms. Still strange to see a fifth offer higher than a fourth offer.

There were only two $1m cases in the final six, and only three were shown as going before then in the recap. Furthermore the $750 is shown as going twice. So I'm guessing a $1m case went after the truck.

You are exactly right KP, it was $1m. Also, Goldeneye didn't mention she broke a record for the highest 1st, 2nd, and 3rd offers!!! I am estimating $200k+ first offers if today's player keeps all 7 $1m cases.
