Before starting to watch this episode, this feels like from what I read, something similar to a season two episode of DEAL US, where another contestant of Greek origin smashing porcelain plates as the main highlight of that episode. That and Patricia Kara having to pronounce the last name of that contestant, in which Howie couldn't pronounce.
That was early 2007. This is 2019. And how appropriate that Patricia is in this episode. Not just appropriate, but ironic as well.
The models come out in the very same blue, one shoulder dresses they wore in the previous episode! Meet George Stathoulis. See if Patricia will pronounce his last name correctly. George is a restaurateur, who operates a diner. He is also a newlywed. If he won a million, he would want seven children, all to help with his restaurant.
For his case George picks #7, and Jourdana de Paula's first selection. The first time #7 has been selected with a different model not named Sara Bronson (Doll), who was active in every episode in the nighttime version the first four seasons.
6 to open:
Before he chooses, George spits on his case, for good luck. Even Howie spits for good measure!
19: $500,000
21: $10,000
2: $200,000
16: $200 (one plate broken from the supporter's corner)
10: $750,000
14: $50,000
Very rough start. The million is still in play. How will the Bankress respond? She calls, and offers George $7,000 for his first offer. Of course, George says NO DEAL.
5 to open:
Before this, Jourdana brings out a case with the State Farm logo on it. In the State Farm case, is $25,000, in which it will be added to the offer. Regardless of monetary winnings. Another plate breaks.
4: $400
25: $500
20: $100
8: $300,000
11: $100,000
I don't know what to say regarding the second round. Bankress calls, George is directed to the Bankress where she holds a waste basket in her hand, and placed something in it. Boos ensue, even Anne-Julia couldn't believe it. The offer went up to $16,000. Remember the State Farm guarantee (State Farm sucks IMO). In George's supporter corner, is his wife, his father, and his mother. George's verdict: NO DEAL of course.
4 to open:
18: $5,000
(after the media time out, we resume play. AKA the Alan Carter Move)
1: (Soraya can speak Greek!) $25,000
17: $1
24: $750
Great round. What will the Bankress have in store for him? She calls. The new offer is $51,000. How high. $76,000 combined in winnings in conjunction with the State Farm offer. George knows how to hold them and fold them. NO DEAL.
3 to open:
26: $300
3: "...I really hope so." $5!
12: (spits on the case) $75,000
Reasonable round. Eight cases left in play. George's #7, plus 5, 6, 9, 13, 15, 22, and 23. Especially case #9. Bankress calls. New offer. $89,000, heaps higher than previous offer. $114,000 with the State Farm offer. George's mom is thinking counter-offer, but no way. George says NO DEAL.
2 to open:
5: PENNY!
(After the media time out, one to open)
22: $1000!
Let's see what the Bankress has in store. Bankress calls, expect higher offer this time. $120,000. Plus the State Farm offer would be $145,000. Does Patricia (#9) has the million on this Greek-themed episode? She is still up there, along with 6, 13, 15 and 23. Plus the #7 George has in play. George will continue. NO DEAL.
1 to open:
6: Here we go again. Don't ever pick that case to begin with. Based on history, here's a tip. Save it. A million.
This will hurt the offer. Bankress calls. The new offer is $53,000, that is over 50% off the previous offer. $78,000 in play with the State Farm offer, and yes he can counter-offer. After the media time out, George will counter offer for $75,000. Bankress calls again and her verdict is simple. NO DEAL.
1 to open:
13: (George goes up to open it) $400,000
The end. The Bankress calls, with an offer of $40. NO DEAL.
1 to open:
23: $50
Bankress calls again. $44 offer. NO DEAL.
Last case:
15: $10
Bankress calls for the last time. $60. NO DEAL.
He will find out what is in the #7 case, which holds $75. #9 had $25. Had to save Patricia until the final case. But anyway, George's total with the State Farm offer is $25,075. The second lowest total to date in the fifth primetime season of DEAL US. The biggest plus was Howie pronouncing George's last name right, without Patricia having to do so. Great work Howie. And yes, a lot different from that season two episode with another contestant of Greek origin smashing plates, spitting, and on and on.
