Deal or No Deal

Joseph Kobes had two high cases remaining with eight cases left. Joseph turned down the $144K bank offer with five cases left, but opened the 750K case next. Joseph took the $26K deal with four cases left. His Deal Wheel ball tripled his winnings to $78,000. His case had $100 in it.



LeTia Soney only had the 100K case remaining with eight cases left. The Banker gave her an opportunity for a week of private lessons with Billy Blanks and a spot in an exercise video. LeTia took the $20,100 package deal with eight cases left. Her ball doubled it to $40,200. Her case had $1000 in it.

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.
