Note: I live in a area that gets two syndie DoND episodes a day. This is a recap of the second episode in the "double run", thus the episode designation as "1B"

And here's how it went!

22 cases, 22 contestants and $500,000 up for grabs on the 30 minute daily Deal or No Deal!

Here's what the board looks like:

- .01¢
- $1
- $5
- $10
- $25
- $50
- $100
- $200
- $300
- $400
- $500
-------------
- $1,000
- $2,500
- $5,000
- $7,500
- $10,000
- $25,000
- $50,000
- $75,000
- $100,000
- $250,000
- $500,000

To determine who plays, A wheel with the 22 numbers is spun, while a ball is placed in the wheel. Which ever number the ball lands on is the numbered case held by the chosen contestant. (Hope Mark doesn't mind I used his description)

Today, The Deal Wheel contestant randomizer lands on...

Case 21!

Case 21 belongs to...

Contestant: Noble Jackson!

Right away, Noble has a choice. He can keep the Case 21 he had on the Contestant's Row or may swap it for any of the other cases on the gallery. Noble chooses...

NO SWAP!

With that, the game can begin proper with:

It wasn't the best possible offer but Noble has secured himself some good money for his grandchildren's future and a great vacation with his wife.

Now for the proveout to see if there wasn't a little bit extra for Noble...

Proveout: Round One:

22 (Jonathan): $250,000!!!!!

Excellent! Noble was wise to deal when he did!

21 (Noble): $1,000!

To prove it:

7 (Jacob): $1!!

Game Summary:

Peak offer: $76,000
Case value: $1,000
Prize won: $37,000
Result: Technical Banker Win (49-51)

And there you have it!

What the heck was that $32,000 offer meant to do?!? The fact it went up after the $75k went says it all. Maybe it was to set up that kind of Deal, but then if one on the left goes what's the next offer, $100k? Stupid.

I may have done what he did or I may have Wakeyed it. The big decision, with no disrespect intended to the brilliant $76k offer, was at $37k.

Then again, I'd take the opening switch for whichever case I fancied...

Of course I don't mind, J.R. You credited me, so it's perfectly fine. In fact, it's me who should be asking you permission for stuff around here. After all, you are the U.S version recap master . Great recap as usual. I've got episode 1A coming up later today, and I'll say this much about it - it was awesome . Unfortunately, I missed the first round of the game, so it'll cover everything from Round 2 onwards.
