Well, here we go again, folks. Last week, Koshka Blackburn failed massively in her quest to take home DoND USA's top prize. Will the unlucky streak continue, or will Jessica Robinson do what numerous other DoND USA contestants have dreamed of doing? In mere monents, DoND USA may get its answer to Laura Pearce. Here we go.

One case holds $200,000, and the other holds $1 million. Howie goes over to open Jessica's Case 4, and inside, we have...

(If Endemol can create suspense on DoND USA, why can't I do it in my recaps ?)
















4: $1,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JESSICA ROBINSON IS DoND USA'S FIRST MILLIONAIRE!!!
Yes, it's true! After more than 300 games, the jackpot has finally been won! The models all run out from backstage, and confetti and $100 bills cover the stage. DoND USA has just been Laura Pearced! Million Dollar Mission accomplished!
Linsday then opens Case 26 to complete the game.

26: $200,000

Result: Ultimate Player Win (what else would it be?) !
And according to Box 23, this game goes down in the books as an


And there you have it. A truly historic episode of DoND USA for all the right reasons. Congratulations to Jessica, and enjoy the money. Now, if only NBC hadn't spolied the hell out of it for everyone. As the credits roll, we are treated to another promo of a potential millionaire (a man with a moustache and a striped shirt). Looks like Jessica might not be our only millionaire this season. Stay tuned for more.

(Oh, and J.R., you may want to update your signature now for obvious reasons .)

I think we all knew the result of this game, but it's nice to know that there is finally a millionaire in this version.

Btw, there appears to be only 4 million dollar cases on this (4, 10, 16, and 17), which was the other one?

Sounds like an exciting game!

As I said in the other thread the MDM soured it a bit having more than one 1 mill case but even so se recognised with her final 2 cases was worth going all the way and she did and won the million!! I hope our sheep are watching players like that.

Yeah the advert kinda gave it away that it'd be her (the whole "Texas guts" thing etc).

But yes, EPIC WIN indeed!

And the best thing about it was that it was attained by risk-taking on a non-ridiculous level. Sure it came on a Mission, but even so...

I'd have played on to $561,000 but then taken that. I would be almost as happy with $561,000 as $1,000,000, and I wouldn't want to face the endless publicity that surrounded a jackpot winner.

KP your such a wet blanket !

Hahaha just realised she had case 4!!

here's the video!!!

All of her offers were downright terrible. People have gotten over $300k on the final 3 with $1 million left and 2 left-side cases. She was only offered $294k with two six-figure backups. I think the 2-case offer should've been $600k+. She only got $30k more than a woman with a $5k backup.
Of course, she won the million so none of this matters, but the banker needs to shape up.
