  • I give this episode a perfect 10!

    This was probably the greatest episode I have watched since I began watching this series (only started watching in season 3). Although the game itself was great and very exciting, the contestants pretty much sucked. But I loved this being the first episode of the deal wheel.

    For the first guy from Washington, I really wanted him to go far. As Howie put it, there are episodes that just feel special to you and you really want them to get the most money they can get. This was one of those episodes. I really wanted him to go far as he seemed like a really great man who deserved everything he gets in his life. Although he didn't win as much as he could of, he got a lot on the deal wheel by tripling his money. Also,I couldn't believe myself that they got President Bush to say something to him and say exactly how much he deserves all the money he can get as he is an inspiration to America and a brave soldier.

    As for the second contestant, I didn't like her that much at all. I don't know what it was, but I just didn't like her. And for some reason, she really sucked. She knocked out the million, followed by the $750,000 right after that! And she continued to knock out the other huge amounts after that, leaving her with not much money to win. In the end, she did good enough to double her amount on the deal wheel. So she left with a pretty good amount.moreless
