I'd call that about as drastic a backfire of DOND's so-called Million Dollar Mission as possible. All right, so the contestant couldn't see the supposed cuteness of the piggy bank destruction coming a mile away. Yes, it doesn't matter how many million-dollars cases they load this thing up with: if you play down to the end and they gave you less than twenty-six, you could go home with the low number. And sure, it's just straight odds, dumb luck, and the occasional bit of timing. But still -- she appeared on national television, got to spiral down into whatever level of despair she found, spent money just to be on the show in the form of that piggy bank, and walked away with -- -- one penny. There are times when you've got to take the deal... If anything else vaguely interesting happens during the Million Dollar Mission, I'll post it to this thread. For now, I think Howie's officially gone too far in his Mission To Make The Fictional Banker Look Like A Jerk.

I saw that ad. It's 70s theme for the 7:00 hour and 80s theme for the 8:00 hour on Sunday before American Gladiators........

When you flash shots of the board with five 1brak cases while the contestant with four is still playing, it gives me a slight hint that the current player didn't win.

I really wanted the Cryin' Hawaiian to win the million! He was a cutie and fun to watch and he actually played smart even though he took some chances. I would have cut off my goat for 25 g's. But there's no way he's buying a house in Hawaii with his winnings. Unless it's a scary house. winterized by agman I AM the Abbott of Vermont!

...you have a goatee?Where? In Hawaii, his winnings are good for about eight pounds of steak. (First lesson for anyone moving to the islands: yes, meat is really that expensive. Second: yes, the humidity is actually that high.) He might get a decent down payment on a house after taxes, though, and he could definitely put a major dent in most mortgages. I kept waiting for Howie (who was in extended torture mode last night -- you knew there wasn't enough time to go down to the last case) to tell Brad he'd closed the Deal lid, so now he had to open one more. Why not? The shark was being repeatedly vaulted with the beard offer anyway. Most decent moment: watching the banker model trying to keep a straight face during the lei-and-kiss moment. Beyond that, most of the episode was spent trying to figure out how old Brad was. He kept mentioning grandkids, and he looked like he was, at most, in his late thirties... So now we've got six million-dollar cases for the next player. Y'know what this means? It means we get to see six million-dollar cases being knocked out. Personally, I'd like them to start replacing amounts from the penny out instead of the $750k back.

The last time they did this, I think they ended the Mission after it failed with seven cases. I'm guessing they'll do the same thing here and reserve Push #3 for a sweeps period.

You had to admire her husband for the frequent attempts to fire a warning shot of common sense across the bulkhead. Yes, it may be about time to go. You are up to a very nice number, and the instant you open even one of those millions, you are going to plummet. This may in fact be the time to hit the #$%%^& button. And then...Feh. On the other hand, math-wise, you almost had to consider opening that next-to-last case. The penny, 25k, and 75k. Open the 25k, offer goes up by a thousand or so. Open the penny, offer goes to about 50k. Open the 75k and you couldn't do worse than twelve thousand. On a risk-reward table, that's not horrible. But she wasn't using much in the way of math-logic. She was using 'I know I've got the million!' logic. Does not compute...

LAST EDITED ON 01-23-08 AT 09:18 PM (EST)After the contestant tonight had two $million cases left (both on the staircase, she had $400....) and left with a just under $500K Deal after taking out one of the $million cases....... Banker calling to Howie: I'm not skeered! Take the $Million Mission to 10! 10 $million cases for Monday night's episode which is gonna start at 9:30.....

22. "10 cases" |
and yet she didn't get one.The contestant was down to $400, $1K, and $1M cases. I didn't hear what the actual Deal was, but I imagine it was close to $333K......... In the "what if" picks after that, she picked the $1M case. (she had the $1K case...) Next Week, the Million $ Mission cranks it all the way to 11! I just wish the cheapskates would take out some of the small amounts as well as some of the big amounts to make room for the extra $Million cases........

23. "RE: 10 cases" |
I think she wound up in the 290's. It will take 16 more episodes before someone wins the Million. 26 One Million dollar cases. Howie will go thru his not one, not five, not twenty but twenty-six million case speil. Then hand the contestant a case and tell them to take their million dollars and get the hell out because they've worn him out. Agman took me to the islands

If this keeps up, we're going to be looking at two-hour episodes which see the opening of about fifteen cases.

I know we're up to thirteen cases (BB ran short), but I missed the dozen game. I'm guessing he had the million and didn't play to the end?
