If you're drunk from drinking martinis, then this episode is for you. Because this involves martinis.
That''s what the synopsis says.
The models are in satin, pink spaghetti strap dresses.
Meet Laura Siano. A native of Long Island, and a mother of three.
For her case, she picks #7. Jordana de Paula brings such case.
6 to open:
13: $25
8: $50,000
21: $750,000. Not low.
12: $10,000
17: "Low amount. (fingers crossed)" $400
5: $25,000
This round has too much superlatives. The Bankress calls for the first time in the episode.She shows Laura's casting video. Her first offer is $17,000. Will she counter here this early? NOPE. NO DEAL.
5 to open:
3: $1,000
25: $500
20: (fingers crossed) $75,000
14: "I'm going to try and give you that penny." $400,000
1: (wants a penny) That's 200,000 times that value.
Okay round. After the media time out, the Bankress will dole out a new offer, and she calls. Laura's new offer is up to $26,000. In Laura's supporter's corner, are two of her daughters and a close friend. Laura's husband passed away, photos of Laura with her late husband were posted on the video wall. Back to the game, will Laura counter here? Nope. NO DEAL.
4 to open:
26: $5,000
10: (Laura wants a dollar) "How about a five." $5
19: $750
16: $1
What a round! After the media time out, a new offer. Before that, a martini bar with the picked-already models (most of them) surrounding it is revealed. Laura suggested that she wants male models. Bankress calls. Her new offer is higher, to $65,000. Will Laura counter here? Nope. NO DEAL.
3 to open:
23: $300,000
6: (Laura thinks it's a great number) $75
9: $10
Eight cases in play: 2, 4, 11, 15, 18, 22, 24, and Laura's case. Bankress calls. Great round nonetheless. Best offer of the night at $90,000. Will Laura counter here? Nope. NO DEAL.
2 to open (after the media time out, we resume play. Before that, Laura wants male models, and she got 'em.):
2 (Justin): $200
4 (Tyler): $50
What a round! As this episode turns into the Bachelorette, the Bankress calls. She is missing out on the fun. Six cases in play: 11, 15, 18, 22, 24 and the #7 that Laura has. The new offer is even higher: $139,000. No counter here. NO DEAL.
1 to open:
18 (Kevin): $100!
Unbelievable. The Bankress calls. Five cases in play: Laura's #7, plus 11, 15, 22 and 24. The new offer is $221,000, Laura's highest yet. Will Laura counter here? Or will Laura play it the traditional way? No counter. NO DEAL.
1 to open:
22 (Justin #2): $500,000
Rough, should cost Laura a little bit. Bankress calls. Four cases in play: Laura's #7 plus 11, 15, and 24. As predicted, it cost her a little bit: $188,000. Will Laura counter here? She will, for $225,000. Bankress calls back, as Laura finishes off her martini. The Bankress' verdict: DEAL! $225,000!
But where was the million? Was it in #11? Nope. $300. The offer would have jumped to $440,000. Was it in #24? It was. Where was the penny? Was it in Laura's case? It was. The $100,000 was in #15.
Had she went on and kept her case at the end, she would have tied a DEAL or NO DEAL record in the United States with that penny! Smart move to get out of there. I wish this would have been a 90 minute episode just for the fun of it, but oh well. Anyway, the supposed season finale is Wednesday night, same time, same place. CNBC. GET YOURS!

5.28 "Roller Coaster Motion" Official Play-By-Play
Orlando-based nightclub promoter Tony Combs returns for a chance at the million. He is also a cancer survivor. We now resume play.
4 to open:
1: $400,000
13: $200,000
23: THE MILLION. You should have never listened to your supporters.
8: "You're a fighter Tony." $10
Rough round overall. The Bankress calls. And it did take a hit. $20,000, plus an appearance from Magic forward Aaron Gordon! Gordon gives the following offer: an autographed basketball by Gordon and his Magic teammates, a private suite at Amway Arena for Magic home games, and courtside seats for him and his friends and a special treatment on the video board at Amway. Plus the Magic will donate 100 tickets to children fighting cancer in north Florida in Tony's name. Total offer: $27,500. Will Tony dribble out here? Will Tony counter here? He will, for $50,000. Bankress calls back. Her verdict: you got fouled out. NO DEAL. However those 100 tickets will still be donated in Tony's name.
3 to open:
21: $1,000
12: "You're amazing." $50,000 "Not that bad."
22: PENNY!
Good, but reasonable round. A new offer after the media time out. Tony's mom took a tumble, and has a cast on her left arm. Anyway, she is okay. Eight cases in play: Tony's #7, plus 5, 9, 10, 17, 20, 24, and 25. The offer now skyrockets to $48,000. Remember, the counter offer is gone. Tony's highest offer to date. And he will cash it in.
But where was the $750,000? It wasn't in #7. $200. Where was it? It was in #25. #10 had $400, #9 had $750, #20 had $500, #5 had $300, #24 had $5,000 and #17 had $75.
Now it gets even busier. The set now turns into Tony's very own nightclub.
We have a new game, a new contestant, and the models re-enter in sleeveless, rainbow-esque dresses.
Meet Marybelle Doe. Another local contestant from Orlando. She is a big theme park fanatic (of course it's Orlando), and has been to Universal Studios Orlando 100 times! She wants to use the money for a new car, and for college. That's all.
For her such case, it's #13. Mahogany Lox brings such case.
6 to open (after the media time out):
17: $10,000
14: $400
19: THE MILLION. This early.
3: $400,000
8: $200,000
20: $50,000
Rough round. Two of the Mummy Guards from the "Revenge of the Mummy" attraction at Universal Studios are in front of the Bankress, as she calls and delivers Marybelle's first offer: $6,000. Not a surprise at all. Counter offer this early? Yeah right. NO DEAL.
5 to open:
6: $300,000
22: $5,000
10: "You have the most beautiful smile ever." $75
(After the media time out, two to open):
18: $200
12: $1,000
Well, this round in a nutshell: reasonable. Bankress calls. How about the offer: $22,000; nearly four times the previous offer. In Marybelle's supporters corner are her husband, her daughter, and her son. Will she counter here? Yeah right. NO DEAL.
4 to open (before that, Optimus Prime is joining the supporter's corner. Seriously.):
23: Last time the million. This time: $750,000
11: $50
1: $100,000
16: $75,000
Rough round. The Bankress calls. The offer is $11,000. Down half from previous offer. NO DEAL.
3 to open (after the media time out. Blue from the Jurassic World attraction also joins the supporter's corner):
4: ('Penny' chant) x 500
2: PENNY! (the chant works!)
21: $10!
What a round! The Bankress calls. It is Marybelle's highest offer yet: $23,000. No counter. NO DEAL. Eight cases in play: Marybelle's #13, plus 5, 7, 9, 15, 24, 25, 26.
2 to open (after the media time out):
5: "The odds are just a good." $500,000 "I'm so sorry."
24: $100
Rough round. Six cases in play: Marybelle's #13 plus 7, 9, 15, 25, and 26. Bankress calls. The offer is now down to $3,000.
1 to open:
15: $300
Good stuff. Bankress calls. Offer now up to $4,000. NO DEAL.
1 to open:
26: $25
Bankress calls. Offer now up to $6,000. Will Marybelle counter here? Of course, for $11,000. Bankress calls back and her verdict: NO DEAL.
1 to open:
7: $750
More good stuff. Bankress calls back. New offer is $9,000. NO DEAL.
1 to open:
25: (Dollar chant) And it works!
Now it's the time to get out of here, as now the Bankress calls. The final offer is $12,000. DEAL! Plus Universal Studios theme parks are giving her a one year pass to all three of its locations!
But where was the $25,000? It was in Marybelle's case. The $1 was in #9.
The two Orlando based contestants combined for $60,000 in cash. Plus Marybelle gets a one year pass to Universal Studios theme parks. Great stuff on an energy charged night of DEAL or NO DEAL!

5.27 "Magic Touch" Official Play-By-Play
Based on the synopsis, this could be one of the most 'magical' episodes in DEAL US history. But there's also a cameo appearance. Pay attention.
In this episode, the models are in sleeveless, mostly red dresses.
Meet Jennifer Gelband. She is a magic superfan, who is also a big fan of Penn and Teller (who also had a TV series on SHOWTIME, called Bulls**t years back). She also learned to do magic and (with an assist from the '27th model'--who brought out a balloon and spear and exhibited a magic trick. Guess what? When she stuck the spear through the balloon, I thought it was going to burst. Yeah right. It went through. PLEASE, for the sake of humanity, do not try this at home. Then the balloon pops.
For her such case, she picks #3, Katie Luddy brings such case for just the second time ever.
6 to open:
14: $100,000 "Kinda magical."
6: $400
26: $25,000
21: $300,000
10: $300
7: $50,000
So-so start. Let's see what the Bankress will do, and she calls. The first offer is $24,000. So high. However, will she counter here this early? NOPE. NO DEAL.
5 to open (after the media time out and Jennifer's wants and needs):
22: $500
8: PENNY!
19: $10,000
11: THE MILLION.
23: $200
Good round, except the million. Bankress calls. The new offer went up to $31,000. Slightly higher. Counter here this early? But first, the supporter's corner. In Jennifer's corner, is her younger sister, her mother, and her grandmother. No counter, NO DEAL.
4 to open:
1: (with some magic): $400,000
20: $10
16: $500,000
4: $75
Rough round. After the media time out, a new offer. Howie gets a magic wand and directs it towards the entrance to the arena. And PRESTO! It's none other than Penn Jillette himself! Like he said on Bulls**t: "You need to shut the f**k up!" Penn, the more vocal half of Penn and Teller appears, and offers a chance to fill in for Teller. He also brought out a cigarette lighter, while model #27 brought out a bottle with what appears to be some liquid and some fire sticks. Teller points a stick towards the lighter and it's lit like a fire ball! He then puts the fiery sticks in his mouth and fire lights in and out of his mouth. Remember, do not try this at home. Penn later joins the supporter's corner. Bankress calls. The offer dropped to $25,000. Will Jennifer counter here? She will, for $72,000. Less than three times the offer. Bankress calls for her verdict: NO DEAL. Let's play on.
3 to open:
2: "I can hope I can work some magic for you." $200,000
15: (with some magic) $1,000
25: (after the media time out): $750,000. THE END.
Tough round. If I'm Jennifer, I'd get out of here after this offer from the Bankress as she calls: $3,000. Rock bottom from previous offer. Eight cases in play: Jennifer's #3, plus 5, 9, 12, 13, 17, 18, 24. The $75,000 is the highest offer left. To be safe, Jennifer gets out of here. DEAL.
But where was the $75,000? It was in #5. Jennifer's case had $750. #9 had $5,000. #18 had $50. #12 had $100. #24 had $5. #17 had $1, and #13 had $25.
Better to be safe than sorry. But there's another game to be played. But first, Penn has an offer Jennifer couldn't refuse. He offered her a trip to Vegas to see a Penn and Teller show. The models re-enter the fray with different apparel: maroon, silky, satin, spaghetti strap dresses, the way it should be.
Meet Tony Combs. A local from Orlando, grew up minutes from Universal Studios, where the show is taped. He is a nightclub promoter, and you know how nightclubs are taken very seriously in all of Florida. Here we go again, another cancer survivor as a contestant. Nothing wrong with that.
For his such case, he picks #7. Jordana de Paula brings such case.
6 to open:
15: "One penny" x 100,000.
11: "One penny" x 50.
4: "$75." Not that close. $500,000
26: (wants a penny) Gets $5 instead.
2: $25
14: $25,000
Reasonable round. Bankress calls. First offer is $13,000. Counter this early? No way. NO DEAL.
5 to open (after the media time out):
18: $10,000
16: Wants $300, that's 1000 times more.
6: $100
3: $75,000
19: (testimonial) $1!
What a round! Except the $300,000, it was a good round. The Bankress calls. The offer tripled to $39,000! In Tony's supporters corner is his mother, his uncle, and a friend from his high school days. Will Tony counter here this early? Nope. NO DEAL.

5.26 "Wall Street Warrior" Official Play-By-Play
When I previewed the episode, I read it and I thought this was a Let's Make a Deal episode, because you have a NYSE trader by day as a contestant and I wonder what is she trading something for at least a million, but not behind curtain #2. But anyway, just a mini synopsis of what to expect in the episode.
Everything was good, until the last cases. After the media time out, a new offer from the Bankress. She calls. The offer is up to $25,000. Slightly higher. Will she counter this early? Nope. NO DEAL.
Meet Lisa Glicksman, a day trader at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). She is a Brooklynite, and a cancer survivor (nothing new in the U.S. franchise, a season two contestant was a cancer survivor, and he actually chose the case held by another cancer survivor, Marisa Petroro) who just recently went under chemotherapy.
The models in this episode are in business suits, red, with pants instead of skirts (whose genius idea was this?). Skirts and dresses are better for women in business.
For her such case, she picks #12. Once again, Sarati brings such case.
6 to open:
19: $100,000
26: "Happy birthday." $10,000
9: $300
4: THE MILLION. Holy s**t.
23: $750
13: $400,000
Rough round. How will the Bankress handle this? She calls, and delivers Lisa's first offer of $13,000. Counter here? Nope. NO DEAL.
5 to open:
25: $75,000
10: $75
(3 to open, after the media time out)
20: $1
17: $10
8: "I'm trusting your guts..." $25,000
Better here than previous round. Bankress calls. The offer is higher now at $20,000. In Lisa's supporter's corner are her best friend from high school, and her husband. Only two supporters. Will she counter here? But first an additional supporter joins the fray: Lisa's oncologist. Seriously. No counter, NO DEAL. Let's go!
4 to open:
3: PENNY! Right on the nail!
22: $25
7: $200,000
1: $500,000
Everything was good, until the last cases. After the media time out, a new offer from the Bankress. She calls. The offer is up to $25,000. Slightly higher. Will she counter this early? Nope. NO DEAL.
3 to open:
21: $50
15: $100
5: (after the media time out) Lisa wanted $5, she got 60,000 times the value.
Gotta love the imaginary stock ticker tracking her offers, especially before this round, which was a good round until the $300,000. Eight cases in play: Lisa's #12 and 2, 6, 11, 14, 16, 18 and 24. Bankress calls. Here's her new offer: $31,000; slightly higher than previous. Counter here? Nope. NO DEAL.
2 to open:
16: $200
11: "I'm freaking out over here." $400
What a round! After the media time out, a new offer. Expect it to be higher. Six cases left in play: Lisa's #12, plus 2, 6, 14, 18 and 24. Bankress calls, and oh yeah! It is higher! Double the previous offer to $62,000! No counter, NO DEAL! We play on.
1 to open:
2: Wanted $5, make that 1,000 times that.
Good stuff. Five cases left in play: Lisa's #12 plus 6, 14, 18 and 24. Bankress calls. The new offer is higher than previous; $98,005. I'd get out of here right now, no counter here, but that's my opinion. What does Lisa think? She will counter here, for $138,000 The Bankress calls again and finalizes her verdict, and after the media time out, is her verdict: NO DEAL. Therefore, the Bankress is truly afraid of 138 (for you trance music fans, you know what I'm talking about).
1 to open:
24: $1,000
Not that bad. Expect the offer to go up. Lisa's #12 still in ply, plus 6, 14 and 18. The $750,000 is still up there. Bankress calls. The offer is slightly higher to $156,000. It's the best time to cash out, and Lisa does.
But where was the $750,000? Was it in #14? Nope. $5. The offer would have skyrocketed to $290,000. Was it in #18? Nope. $50,000 The offer then would also skyrocketed to $483,000. Was it in Lisa's #12? It was. #6 had $500. A very bad deal, but she should have stayed in the game!
At least it wasn't the million, but that was gone away in the first round. Lisa is a true woman, a cancer survivor who beat the odds of being a six figure winner on DEAL US. Congratulations. A new episode this Wednesday at 8pm Central. CNBC. GET YOURS! Also play the Lucky Case Game 2.0. Win $10,000!
