I'm not sure if Patricia or Megan, who were in that episode remembers it, but it wasn't embarrassing as that pig farmer from Oklahoma in season 3 who ended up with the lowest amount on the board--a penny.
Twelve years later, her son Artis Jackson becomes the first second-generation player in the history of the US franchise. Artis is a businessman, like his mom, is also from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
The models are in satin, a throwback to the past seasons! Speaking of throwbacks, a clip of Artis' mom from that 2006 episode is shown on the board.
Artis chooses #5, Lani delivers, and they hug. Let's go!
6 to open.
7: $10,000
19: $5...there it is!
21: $1...goodbye!
1: $75
9: $200,000
18: $25
The Bankress calls for the first offer of the night. $29,000. Howie once again meets Cheryl in the supporter's corner. She brought her $5 check, and announced that she started a charity in which eight million meals were fed, mainly to the hungry, the needy and maybe the homeless. His wife is also in the corner, and his older brother also in the corner. Later, Artis says NO DEAL.
5 to open after the media time out.
2: $1,000
22: $200
10: $750,000 Oooh...
13: $750
8: $500,000 Oh boy...
The million is still on the board. Bankress calls. $15,000 offer, nearly 50% off. Quite a discount after two big ones were knocked off the board. Artis says 'NO DEAL.'
4 to open.
15: $25,000
4: (Brenda is a mom) $100
25: (Summer is also a mom) $400,000
24: $1,000,000 Oh s***!
$300,000 is the highest left on the board. Similar to mama Cheryl's play a dozen years ago. Bankress calls, and sends a $5 bill down. It reminded me of the grab for a bonus for a particular contestant in the 4th nighttime season. The offer is now $10,000. Artis says NO DEAL.
3 to open.
26: $300,000
(Media break in between, with Artis now directing as he takes us to break. Also known as the typical 'Alan Carter Move')
We resume play.
6: $500
20 (A. Smith was in the 4th season): BANOODLES. A screenshot of Amanza--I think--was from the 'Kobe or No Kobe' episode from the fourth season.
$100K the highest value on the board as the Bankress calls. The new offer is $17,000. NO DEAL.
2 to open. 8 cases in play--Artis' case--and 3, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 23.
3: (Cheryl is brought over to Artis by Howie) $10. TEN f'n dollars! Cheryl and Katie (Luddy) embrace aftewards!
12: $50!
We all know a big offer is coming and Artis will be guaranteed at least 60 times what his mom won back in the first season. After the media time out, the offer is $28,000. Way much than the check Cheryl has from 12 years ago. NO DEAL.
1 to open.
Remaining: 11, 14, 16, 17, 23 and Artis' case.
17: $5,000 Not bad.
New offer from the Bankress: $39,000. 5 cases in play. Artis' case and 11, 14, 16, and 23. NO DEAL.
1 to open.
23: $75,000. The $100k is still on the board.
4 in play, Artis' case and 11, 14, and 16. $30,000 is the new offer. NO DEAL says Artis.
1 to open.
11: $50,000. The $100k is still on the board.
Bankress calls again. 3 in play: Artis' case and 14 and 16. Offer went down to $25,000. Will he counter-offer? NO. NO DEAL.
1 to open.
Cheryl is crying.
14: Olga opens the case after the media time out...$300! The sellout crowd at Universal Studios Orlando is loving it!
Before the offer from the Bankress, Artis points out that case 16 was her mom's case, and it was true. Later, Artis gets his final offer of the night of $63,000, will he take it, counter-offer or swap cases? He says DEAL. $63,000 is the second lowest amount won so far.
Where was the $100,000? In case #5 (Artis' case), it was $400, while $100,000 was in case 16. 12,600 times the amount his mom won back in season one.
As far as the throwback picture of Amanza Smith, again that was from the 'Kobe or No Kobe' episode from season 4 (the 'crossover season'). My favorite quote in the series was later in that episode by Marisa Petroro, who before opening her case said, "Can somebody pass the butter, because you're on a roll!" Funny stuff there.
Redemption is thy legacy. What will Artis do with $63,000? Who knows. Two new episodes on Wednesday night, 8pm Central. CNBC. Get Yours!
