Host: Monty Hall
Featuring: Brian Cummings and Karen LaPierre
First Trader: Jennie Greenloft (in bathrobe and hair curlers) sign says:
My husband’s Monty 1. My baby’s Monty 2. You are Monty 3, if you make a deal with me
Monty gives Jennie a Krugerrand that would buy the big sunshine box. Turns out, she doesn’t know much about krugerrand. Just what we wanted to hear! He! He! Before she can decide, Monty will add two more!
Jennie will keep the coins. In the box…Admiral a la Mode Refrigerator/Freezer filled with Champale Malt Liquor ($1,324)
That’s gone, but Jennie can now trade those Krugerrands for Curtain #2 (Karen). This time, she’ll trade ’em in. Let’s see, on the day of taping one of those coins was worth $360.
$360 X 3= $1,080
And behind the curtain…A PORTABLE HOT TUB TOWED BY A DONKEY (BRIAN AND “JAWS” INCLUDED)
Two traders next: Tony Missette (Mining Worker) vs. Gail Yeppert (Catwoman)
It’s a pricing competition; who ever comes closest to the actual price of the item, higher or lower gets the cash.
$100 Coritzone 5 (1 oz. Tube)
Gail: $2.29
Tony: $3.50
Price is $3.40, Tony scores first
$200 Midsize Cabbage Patch Kids Diapers (18)
Tony: $3.80
Gail: $3.50
Price is $3.99 Tony’s at $300
$300 Rigident Denture Adhesive (3 oz.)
Gail: $2.69
Tony: $2.85
Price is $3.95, 3 for 3 Tony for $600. Last chance for Gail
$500 Gillespie Refinish Furniture Kit
Tony: $8.20
Gail: $8.65
Price is $9.99, FINALLY Gail!
Now, does Gail want to spent that $500 on the big diamond box. She takes the box…
There’s a Sharp 19″ TV ($899)
It’s Tony’s turn. His choice is $600 or Curtain #3. Scratch that, Monty will drop the price to $300. That price is good enough for our miner.
Behind the Curtain…HIS AND HER BUNK BED BATHTUBS!
At least Tony has some cash for soap and rubber duckies.
For the next deal, Monty will pay $50 for someone’s driver’s license.
Bridget Brown (Fairy Princess)
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, no one makes a deal like Montee!
She has the license and takes the cash and puts her license back in the purse.
Don’t you know Bridget that we’re just getting started? We need that license back! There it is…oh wait it’s an ID.
BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
Okay, Bridget had to empty her purse but we have her license. What’s that? It’s her husband’s license! Well, this is going to be tough. Monty was hoping she could remember her own license to win this…
Mazda GLC Custom Hatchback ($8,264)
Wanna give it a try, Bridget:
Her Guess: N612403
Actual License: N910, etc., etc
Bridget still deserves something for this ordeal. If she guesses her hubby’s weight within 10 lbs., she’ll get $200.
Her guess: 175 lbs.
Actual weight: 180 lbs., Just don’t forget to pick up everything else.
Myrtle Caldway (wearing a golf hat)
No purse search this time. Instead, Myrtle will play with Monty’s Money Market, unless she trades for Curtain #3. The leftovers go to…
Tim Hammond (Olympian turned Ballerina)
Myrtle gives Tim the Money Market. Behind the curtain…
Kitchen Aid Dishwasher W/Electrasol, Regal Stainless Cookware and Ekco Cooking Utensils. (Total: $1,334(.75))
Now Tim can cash in Monty’s Money Market OR….trade for the comet box. Who’ll get the leftover this time?
Debbie Bailey (clown)
Tim keeps the Money Market, so Debbie gets the box. Is $350 enough to trade?
NOPE! Debbie wins…a giant Kirby Koala doll from California Stuffed Toys. (Not quite a Zonk)
Last chance for Tim to trade! How about Curtain #2?
He’ll keep the cash and passes up…THE BRIDE OF FRANKESTEIN’S BEDROOM! (Zonk avoided!)
So what’s is Monty’s Money Market worth:
$999! Not too bad!
SCORES:
| MYRTLE | $1,335 |
| TIM | $999 |
| GAIL | $899 |
| TONY | $300 and Super Clean Bunkbeds |
| BRIDGET | $250 |
| JENNIE | Not so Relaxed |
| DEBBIE | Nothing but Hugs |
BIG DEAL OF THE DAY!
Myrtle and Tim (with a sign saying “I’ll Plea to Make a Deal”) are in! The choice, as always, is:
And we have a sneak preview behind Door Number #3: It’s Monty’s Piggy Bank!
Once selected, we crack open the piggy bank and find…$367. Selected by….Myrtle (Quite a bit drop from $1,100)
Next is Door #2…Skyway Luggage for a Trip to Cancun (Staying at the Cancun Sheraton) PLUS $500 spending money. Didn’t get the whole value, but we know the luggage was $557(.50). Whatever the value, it’s more than Tim’s Money Market.
But neither picked Door #1. What did that miss out on?:
A $25 box of Creamettes…and that same Mazda GLC from before. Total: $8,289!
Total Winnings: $2,873+Cancun Trip
Big Winner: Tim (persuably)
Quickie Deals:
- Kurt Hart gets $50 for another drivers license and another $100 for his signature on it
- Bill Verman couldn’t come up with another type of license for $200
