Gameplay

Demetres Boyd — who planned to pay off student loans and buy her own home with her winnings — was the sole contestnat for this summer-themed game. Mandell came dressed in a short-sleeved button down shirt, while the models were dressed in orange bikinis and rugged blue shorts.

Boyd's game started out shaky as she opened three of the top seven amounts ($300,000, $400,000 and $1 million) in Round 1, and $750,000 in Round 2. However, her game steadily got better; she opened the three smallest amounts (1 cent, $1 and $5) in succession but then opened the $500,000 case. With eight cases left, she was left with $50,000, $75,000, $100,000, and $200,000 (similar to the Australian Deal board).

By Round 7, Boyd was left with $200,000 as the lone desirable amount. Despite pleas from her supporters and the audience to take a $44,000 offer, Boyd bravely played on, eventually eliminating $75 and $10 in two successive rounds to wind up with a $110,000 offer and two cases left — one holding $1,000 and the other concealing $200,000.

The banker's last offer elicited cries of "DEAL! DEAL! DEAL!" from the entire studio and the bench as well, but Boyd — convinced she had the large amount in her case — rejected the offer, plus a chance to switch cases. It was a gamble that did not pay off: Boyd's case held $1,000, resulting in a groan unheard of since contestant Wesley Autrey's epic downfall.
