It’s Friday the 13th.  Does that mean bad luck for our players?

Well, let’s hope not.  PJ returns today, and we get to open one case from the five remaining.

[15] $50,000

That’s good!  Offer should be going up now.

[$321,000]

That’s roughly a $65,000 increase from yesterday.  The family wants to get out.  And she does.  But let’s see what happens…

[ 2 ] $25,000
[$511,000]

Ouch.  The next case:

[ 6 ] $400,000
[$551,000]

Wow.  Did she have the million all along?  Let’s see…

[ 4 ] $1,000

No!  She saved it for last!  Technical Banker Win.

Jim is the next contestant.  He picks 12, because he has delivered mail on route 12 for 12 years.  Go figure.  But here’s the first 6:

[11] $25,000
[13] PENNY!
[19] $750,000
[ 6 ] $1,000,000
[15] $10
[16] $200,000

Eek.  Not a good start.

[$7,000]

And not a very good first offer.  He says “No Deal,” so we open five more:

I would like to point out here that some of the Canadian viewers apparently had this commercial break skipped.  Way to go, Candians.  But, back to the cases:

[22] $100,000
[24] $750
[17] $1
[20] $75
[26] $100

Good recovery round.  The offer should go up:

[$28,000]

It did.  Howie: “This is obviously a family decision.”  Uhh, no.  It’s the “obvious no deal” decision.  And he does.  The next four:

[18] $75,000
[ 7 ] $500,000
[ 1 ] $300
[ 2 ] $5,000

That was almost decent.

[$22,000]

The banker agrees.  No deal, we open three:

[ 3 ] $10,000
[ 8 ] $25
[14] $400

Fairly good round.  Offer should go up 2-3 times.

[$49,000]

Okay, a little closer to 2 than 3.  But a fairly quick No Deal brings about 2 more cases:

[25] $50
[ 9 ] $300,000

Ick.  Not a good round.  Ha.  The models are now dressed like mailpeople.  Banker should increase maybe $10k at most…

[$39,000]

Hey, going down a little is fair, too.  He says No Deal, we open one case:

[21] $400,000

And let’s stick the fork in him.  He’s done.

[$8,000]

He must keep the $50,000 to increase it.  No Deal, we open another case:

[ 5 ] $1,000

Alright, he kept it, but he now has a huge gap on the board.

[$13,000]

He takes it!  So, let’s play on.

[ 4 ] $200
[$19,000]

[23] $50,000

He made a great deal, but it’s still a technical banker win.

With five minutes to go, our next contestant is Tammy Fuller.  She’s a “west coast Jets fan.”  She picks case 8, and let’s see how far we get today…

[14] PENNY!
$25,000
$300
[18] $50
[12] $75,000
[15] $200

And that was a very good first round.

[$28,000]

Her favorite number!  Quick No Deal, and we start here Monday.  We’ll see you then in the chat!
