It was a miraculous season full of big six figure wins, prizes, appearances and surprises, all in the show's return after an eight year hiatus (before this season, DEAL last aired in the daytime in the 2009-10 season; 30 minute episodes, do you remember them?). We've seen cameo appearances by NFL and NBA players, a former contestant coming out of the woodwork, the new 'counter-offer' feature, and the second highest non-million dollar winner ever on U.S. soil.
But hey, that's probably the beginning. The big plus is Howie returning to host, while juggling AGT out west. The tapings moved east to Universal Studios Orlando (still waiting for a live aired episode). Also the models, for the first time ever, with new models this season, there were no substitute models on the evening edition as opposed to the first four seasons. This has to be the best close-knit group of models in the U.S. franchise. Also this season's banker, who happens to be female, which is a first, after four years of the same male banker. Hence why I call her the "Bankress."
Also, the return of the "Lucky Case Game" after one season off, at least $100,000 have been won using Twitter, and as a result, '#DONDSweepstakes' was a trending topic on Twitter. Way to go fans! So to celebrate a great season, here are the total winnings from the 31 episodes from season 5:
Courtney Schlaud $500,000 (4th highest total on U.S. soil, that would have been top prize on daytime version!)
Toni Miller $455,283 (includes Chrysler Pacifica)
Andrew Shelton $310,000
Joe Veriotto $285,000
Jade Thomas/Cheryl Miles $236,174
Laura Siano $225,000
Max Reynolds $211,000
John West $200,000
Robert Evans $185,000
La'Sherrie Hogan $165,000
Missy Silverman $165,000 (plus Princess Cruise)
Lisa Glicksman $156,000
Casey Heath $133,000
Allie Teixeira $123,000
Jorge Montero $119,000
Justin Uhart $120,000 (Route 91 Festival shooting hero)
David Leeman $110,000
Shirleen Mui $105,000
Michael Chandler $71,000 (BELLATOR MMA champion/legend)
Bryce Gage $69,000
Artis Jackson $63,000 (mother was a former contestant in season 1)
Monica Durazo $54,669 (includes BMW 3 Series)
Tony Combs $48,000
Jade Delaney $37,000
Sony Avalos $34,000
Carri Nemak $34,000
George Stathoulis $25,075
Marybelle Doe $12,000
Jennifer Gelband $3,000
Kyera Chandler $700
Tony Oriente $700
Kristen Iniguez $500
Luis Green $5 (annual Christmas episode)
That's 33 contestants and millions of dollars won on the show!
The question remains, will there be a season 6? Will it remain on CNBC? Will it return to NBC? Or will an outside party shop for it, like CBS or FOX, maybe Game Show Network or FX (hehe) could get the rights, who knows? If there's a season six, there's more questions to be answered, such as the status of Howie Mandel; will he come back or maybe a new host. How many of the 26 models will return? Like previous seasons, there has been changes at the cases. Will the show continue to tape at Universal Studios Orlando? And most importantly, will the 'Million Dollar Mission' or 'Multi Million Dollar Madness' (the one with the lottery-esque chamber towards the end of season 3) return? All of the questions will be answered in the months to come.
But enjoy the summer while you can, it's hot, and if you want to have some game show fun, I'd highly suggest Press Your Luck and Card Sharks every Wednesday night this summer on ABC's 'Summer Fun and Games.' It is great those shows are back.
For now, thank you for following this blog and if there's any updates, I'll try to post them here. Have a great rest of 2019.

Season 5 Has Ended, Review Soon
The season ended Wednesday with the 31st episode (aired previously in June on NBC), but if you missed out on the episode, you can see my review here.
At some point soon, I will do a synopsis of the season, who won what, and what to expect in the future. That's soon.
Until then enjoy this hot summer.
Thank you,
Morgan

5.30 "Vision Quest" Official Play-By-Play
Based on the synopsis, I can think the contestant is a psychic or a clairvoyant. But we will see. It is supposed to be the last episode of the season (since there are rumored to be 30 episodes--plus that one that aired in June before Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on NBC--for season five), but we will see. So let's go!
The models are in blue, sleeved v neck dresses, like bathrobes.
Meet Jade Delaney. She is a small town girl from South Dakota by way of a farm community in Minnesota. She works for a healthcare foundation, and is a married, mother of a newborn.
For her said case she picks #13. Mahogany Lox bring such case.
6 to open:
22: $500,000 Rough.
10: $25,000
5: $75
24: $10,000
8: $75,000
3: $200,000
Mostly right side stuff here. Not a reasonable round. What will the Bankress think? She calls for her first offer, which is $18,000. Will she counter here? Nope. NO DEAL!
5 to open:
(But first, the 'Million Dollar Vision Board' is wheeled out by Kizzi and Lani. It is filled with pictures and keepsakes, including a stiletto heel. In other words, she wants to be a DEAL or NO DEAL model. Seriously.)
25: $200
21: $10
16: "I believe in the power of positively and visualization." $300,000
11: $1
17: $25
Reasonable round. More left side goodness. The Bankress calls. The new offer is $35,000. In Jade's supporter corner are her husband, her mother, and her mother-in-law. Will Jade counter here? Nope. NO DEAL.
4 to open:
7: $50
23: "No matter what's in this case, you got it!" $5
(After the media time out, two more to open)
12: $300
9: $1,000
Wow, this round! Great round. Expect the offer to skyrocket, as the Bankress now calls. The new offer has doubled to $70,000. Will Jade counter here? Nope. NO DEAL.
3 to open:
19: $750
20: THE MILLION.
2: "I really hope I have the penny in there for you." (after the media time out) That's 400 times that.
Rough round because of that million. Eight cases left in play: Jade's #13, plus 1, 4, 6, 14, 15, 18 and 26. The Bankress calls. Expect the offer to drop, and it did, to $49,000. Will Jade counter here? Remember, $750,000 still in play. Before that, Jade does jumping jacks. No counter, NO DEAL.
2 to open:
15: $5,000
14: $750,000 "Dang it."
Rough round again. Six cases left in play: Jade's #13, plus 1, 4, 6, 18 and 26. Mahogany Lox also brings out the same replica dress the models are wearing. This is NOT a DEAL or NO DEAL USA first, because a couple contestants on this version had done it. After the media time out, the end product. Now Jade is a DEAL or NO DEAL model! Bankress calls, the new offer is lower: $39,000. Will Jade counter here? Nope. NO DEAL.
1 to open:
6: (With assist from Megan, Jade opens it!) $50,000
What will the Bankress do here? Remember, five cases in play, $400,000 is the highest offer left. Five cases in play: Jade's #13, plus 1, 4, 18, and 26. The Bankress calls, and the new offer is higher: $61,000. Will Jade counter here? Nope. NO DEAL.
After the media time out, 1 to open:
4: (they're all cheering PENNY! in the arena) That's 400,000 times that!
The big fish is gone. $100,000 is still the highest of the four remaining values. Bankress calls. Four cases remain in play: Jade's #13, plus 1, 18, 26. The new offer is down to $22,000. Will Jade counter here? She will, for $27,000! The Bankress calls back and her verdict is simple: NO DEAL.
1 to open:
1: "I'm about to cry. You are so determined..." $100
Not bad. The Bankress calls, and the new offer is $37,000, slightly higher than previous. Now it's the time to cash out, and she did. DEAL!
But where was the $100,000? It was in Jade's #13! The penny was in #26, while #18 had $500.
Better safe than sorry, but it wasn't a good deal. One more thing about the episode is the title. It was not to be confused with that wrestling movie from 1985.
The next time DEAL comes on, will be an encore of the episode ran on NBC in June (right before the Stanley Cup final), so if you missed out on it, you get a second chance to see Andrew Shelton's brilliance, Wednesday at 8pm Central. CNBC, GET YOURS!
