The title of the episode can be misleading. You see, Monopoly is a registered trademark of Hasbro, and there was a MONOPOLY the Game Show from 1990, as seen on hot summer Saturday nights on ABC (after Super JEOPARDY!). There was also Monopoly Millionaires Club, which aired weekly--mainly on the weekends--a few years ago in select markets in syndication, and yes, DEAL showrunner Scott St. John was one of the executive producers of MMC (seriously).
But this isn't MONOPOLY, this is DEAL or NO DEAL! Where you can win real money, not money from the MONOPOLY board game.
Let's get right to the action. The models in this episode are in red, short sleeved dresses.
Meet Toni Miller. She's a realtor from the Los Angeles area, who is a MONOPOLY-aholic. She loves the board game. She wants a car, for her family, as she is a married mother of three. She also wants a new home. What is this? Dream House?
For her said case, it's #22. Anchal Joseph brings the case down for her very first DEAL selection (I think). Also, to make Toni feel right at home, the board is changed from yellow to MONOPOLY colors! The black colors, ranging values from the penny to $10, will reveal a prize. Seriously.

Reasonable round. Bankress calls. New offer is presented: $26,000. In Toni's supporter corner are one of her best friends, who is a realtor, her sister, and her husband. Counter? Yeah right. NO DEAL.
4 to open:
25: $750,000 Ooooh.
(An additional dollar would be added to the next offer)
1: "I want to keep you shining." $300,000 "What the heck?"
6: $300
10: $500
Bankress calls. The offer should be reasonable, based on last round. However, it's $15,000, with the dollar, to a total of $15,001. Counter? Yeah right. NO DEAL.
3 to open:
2: $50
(an extra $10,000 will be added to the next offer. After the media time out, two cases left to open)
18: $10
14: $100,000
An extra $1,000 is added to the offer. Bankress calls. The offer is still the same, but with the $11,001 in MONOPOLY money, the total offer is $26,001. Will she counter here? Eight cases in play, Toni's #22 and 5, 7, 8, 12, 20, 23, 24. No counter, NO DEAL.
2 to open:
24: $400 (400 times the dollar; an extra $5,000 is added to the next offer. $16,001 in MONOPOLY money as of now)
5: $750
A very good round. A red MONOPOLY piece was revealed for $3,000. As of now, a $19,001 bonus added to the offer. Six cases are in play: Toni's #22 and 7, 8, 12, 20 and 23. After the media time out, a new offer is revealed, with the Bankress calling. Toni's new offer is $21,000, and with the MONOPOLY money of $19,001, for a grand total of $40,001. Will she counter here? Nope. NO DEAL.
1 to open:
20: $75
Great stuff. Bankress calls again. The new offer is $53,000, more than doubled from previous offer. With MONOPOLY money, will bring the total to $72,001. Five cases in play: Toni's #22 and 7, 8, 12 and 23. Will she counter here? Not again. NO DEAL.
1 to open:
23: $10,000
Not bad. Four cases in play: Toni's #22 and 7, 8 and 12. Bankress calls. The offer is up to $76,000. With the MONOPOLY money, the grand total is $95,001. Will Toni counter here? After the media time out, it's her decision. When play resumed, what was Toni's decision? NO DEAL.
1 to open:
(With help from Toni's mother) 12: $50,000
Okay. This is the time I would pull out now. An orange MONOPOLY piece is revealed adding $2,000, to a total bonus offer of $21,001. Bankress calls. Only Toni's #22 and 7 and 8 are left on the steps. The new offer is $131,000, and with the bonus MONOPOLY money would add up to a grand total of $152,001. I'd get out of here. What does Toni think? She will use her counter here, for $187,000. A deadly, murderous bank offer. Bankress calls back. The verdict from the Bankress: NO DEAL. Oh my. She still has the MONOPOLY bonus money as backup.
1 to open:
7: THE DOLLAR!
The last of the black MONOPOLY pieces were revealed. It revealed the prize: the all-new Chrysler Pacifica S minivan. After the media time out, a new offer, expect it to be higher than previous bank offer. Only Toni's case #22 and #8 are still in play. Bankress calls, and this is the final offer. The new offer is $167,000, with the bonus MONOPOLY money would add up to a grand total of $188,001. Plus the Chrysler Pacifica would add up to at least $230,000 total. If I'm Toni I'd get out of here right now. No counters left, just get out of here. This is the final offer, so I expect her to press the button. Nope. NO DEAL. I think the $400,000 is in #22. Am I right? She will keep the #22, and in that case is...$400,000! The $200 is in #8. With the MONOPOLY money and the Chrysler Pacifica makes her one of the richest non-millionaires on US soil with the grand total of $455,283. She surpasses season 2's Anteia Greer for third all time in non-million dollar winners. Only Courtney Schlap ($500,000 season 5) and Michele Falco ($750,000 season 2) has more. Toni is also behind Schlap for second highest this season. Some history right here.
But when will someone finally beat the system without a 'Million Dollar Mission'? Can BELLATOR MMA veteran and champion Michael Chandler do it? He will be on a back to back episode of DEAL or NO DEAL this Wednesday night. I have it taped so I can watch it later (NHL Awards are on and so is the College World Series). Don't forget on ABC, are new episodes of Press Your Luck and Card Sharks (I don't like the fact that they have a male card dealer; the show has been historically mainly a two-female dealer system). CNBC GET YOURS!
