The guy before the game I sat through had a wife that was in the hospital and was expecting their second child while he was playing. Yeah, that's the one that was shown today (John #19). Good thing you didn't sit through this one as he opened the $500K case on his first pick!

I was almost about to sit in his game. We quickly ran into the studio and there the guy thought there was a seat. So I ran with him, but we were herded back behind the scenes when we realized... Nope! No seat.
It's not that I didn't see him. I just forgot that he opened the big bucks in the first round.

So did you see yourself on TV today? I take that back, maybe you should had sat in the first game instead, since $1000 was the highest case with eight cases left or something?
BTW, was this the first episode of the "Banker's Bonus"? Never seen it before...

I saw myself there. I had my head chopped off, but managed to record the scenes that had me on television in full when they came back from break.
Yeah, she had a rough game. When the $50,000 (?) case was opened, we had to redo the scene because we weren't disappointed enough. I'm thinking... How in the hell are we supposed to be depressed when we already know what the case holds? But yeah... Kind of not good.
It was the first time that the Banker's Bonus was revealed. I've never seen the green lighting before, and even I didn't know what we were about to see until Howie described it.

Cool you saw yourself on TV Redo a scene? Heh, I remember reading someone saying in the nighttime version, a contestant took the deal with eight cases left and they redid the scene because the audience wasn't applauding the idiot loud enough for making a stupid deal... That would be funny if that was the only time ever the Banker's Bonus was used and you were there! Because of time constraints, I would suspect this Banker's Bonus would only be used on really awful boards with $1K or $5K remaining...
