Round Three: Four Cases:
23: $1!!
13: $5!
4: $200,000
11: $500,000!
We now see that Melieka is a very emotional woman. She starts to cry when the $500k is revealed.
But the Banker isn't shedding any tears, he's making offers. The first one of the night is...
Banker's offer:
$19,000!
NO DEAL!
Round Four: Three Cases:
8: $1,000
18: $75,000
Before the last case of the round, one of Melieka's supporters, her boyfriend, has a surprise for her...
A WEDDING PROPOSAL!
Of course, Melieka cries! But this time, these are tears of joy and of course she accepts the offer!
This is actually the second time a marriage proposal has been seen on DoND USA! The first to do it was Brian Kennedy! Read his recap here:

It's been a great night for Melieka! First she gets engaged and then she grabs a nice six-figure sum of cash! Will she top it off with proving that she pulled out at the perfect time? We find out with a little thing we call a "Proveout"!
Proveout Round One:
14: $10,000
Banker's offer:
$142,000!
Proveout Round Two:
15: $25
It would of been a $400 or $400,000 final two!
Banker's offer:
$215,000!
Well, we do know Melieka's case, 12, has a "$400" inside. Is it just $400 or is there in fact three extra zeros to go along with the "$400"? One is great, the other is devastating. This case held...
12: $400!
To prove it:
25: $400,000
Peak offer: $215,000
Case value: $400
Prize won: $105,000
Result: Technical Banker Win (52-48 )
