Dude from Arkansas brought his sister and she has been begging him to make a deal.





BURN! he blew it!

The dude turned down FOUR deals in the 150/200k range, I turned it off after he cleared 500k off the board, he got either $50. or $450.

His sister was begging him, you could see it in her eyes, she is going to torment him for the rest of his life for blowing the deals.

He got $10 when he could have had $218K. I admire his balls but he should have quit a couple times. Once when it hit 218 and once when he had it back to 140-something. If you don't have two big numbers you're really playing w fire by playing that long.

Well atleast he left 50 to 450 bucks richer.

Sucks he didnt take the bigger amount. But being Greed has it's downsides

The guy deserved it, but sometimes I wonder if they are getting more money, cause I'm sure the ratings go up at the very end of the show.

Did you notice the sister at all, she was begging him to deal from the start, around 70k I think, every time he turned down a deal she looked really pissed.

it is a mindless tv gameshow that plays on uncertainty and hope, and ultimately, regret........

I am sorry to say that it has me yelling at the screen from time to time.........

Sounds like his brain is smaller than his balls :p

Actually some economists did some research on this show since it's shown in many difference countries (local shows), a big game theory experiment is what it is. It probably proves that people are inherently stupid :D
