You know the other thing about that deal. Look how many million dollar suitcases started on the board.

It's in the still shot of the video if you can see that.

It was a way better situation than the original game where they only had one million dollar case.

If I ever see that guy and recognize him I may be tempted to punch him. Damn.

Face Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 61 Posts: 3941	Would take it so fast Howie wouldn't finish his sentence. In reality, I'd have taken it far before I got down to two cases. Do they get a guaranteed payout just for being on the show? If so, that would change my answer Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

If so, that would change my answer They don't normally. That contestant mentioned something about $10,000 but I didn't know what he was talking about. He may have told some sob story about something and they gave him $10,000 free and clear out of sympathy. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber
