Yeah I couldn't believe that, 28 and 7 kids. And the husband had that shell shocked, deer in the headlights look of a guy who has 7 kids.

My fave so far is #12 (blond, think her name might be Jill) and the redhead (forget her # but her name is Kasey or KC)

Edit: Just checked the site and the redhead's name is Kasie.



Blond Jill

Just bringing this thread back up. Chick had cleared the entire right side (high money) after 15 choices. got offered $250. She didn't take it, when the highest amount available was $750. They kept showing her. Worst game show ever.

I don't know about it being the worst game show ever. Name one other game show where a person can lose well over 100 grand? Greed kills in this game show and the "just more one case syndrome" can end up having disastrous results for the contestants. In the future I may grow tired of it like I did with "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", but for now I am enjoying it.

Did anyone here watch the monday 3/20 show and remember what the Texas cowboy ended up having in his case? He turned down a $199,000 deal but took a $109.000 deal but my DVR cut out with a minute to go and there were only two cases out, his and one other. I think the $500,000 was still in play, what was in his case?

I really love this show. It is a lot of fun and sums up so much about finances. However, she was the worst contestant ever. I mean, she must have gone up there with some mean karma because she just sucked total ass. Good TV it was.

The offers on the show are bad, but in the game, they're even more ridiculous. On the show, as they get down to the last few cases, the offers get closer to, and eventually get to, what the math says they should be. In this game, the offers are just stupid.

I just had three values left: $300, $25k, and $100k. My offer? $14k.

I declined, picked a case, and $300 was eliminated, leaving $25k and $100k. The offer? $31k

The game might as well let you just open your case right away...

The first time I played, I got down to 4 cases left. $75, $25000, $400000, and $1000000.

I sold my case for $267000. And then found out my case had the $1000000.

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but I really don't like the way the models slowly open the cases so they can peek inside first and react.

You want it the other way around. You peek into their "case" and "react" !

yep, it does seem weird when they react before everyone else knows what is in the case.

Yeah it's also funny how sometimes one will try to ad lib a line or two in there. Sometimes it appears scripted but other times it just seems like the girl decided on the spot to make a remark and hopefully get a bit more screen time.
Speaking of the models...my fave Jill is still on case 12, but #15 Kasie is off the show and replaced by a different girl.

Fun flash game, but I wish they had the girls on.

Anyway, down to 5 cases, 1 had 400K, 1 had 75K, 1 had only $10, and the other tow had like 1k and 5k. Was offered 61K and took it, and the case had the 10 bucks :-)

btw: in my best attempts to NOT be racist, does it seem like any time its an african american lady playing this game they always go too far being too greedy and losing more money than they should have?

Actually, I think that's everyone... When I watch this show (which is less and less as the people become annoying), I compare it to gambling. When they manage to get into the 3 figure range all they see is $$$ rather than the odds that they actually have $300k ,400k+ in their case.

Of course sometimes they take the deal and then when Howie asks what their next would've been, the amount goes up, but the way I figure, I'd rather take $120k rather than risking it and then it goes down to $50k or something (though 50 thou isn't something it sneeze at...)

Who else was touched when they surprised the military dude with his two daughters who live across the country? Awwwww. He walked away with $94 grand too, although he had $400 grand in his case. Oof.
