Gameplay
- Looking to replace the computers stolen from his son's school, Neal Washington chose to pick case 1, leading to Claudia's sophomore stage walk. Despite $1,000,000 and $750,000 being bigger, Neal explicitly wanted "$500,000" from this game; that was removed on the third pick.
- As the safety net narrowed itself down to $400,000 and $1,000,000 only, the students he was specifically playing for watched on satellite. In response to a perfect round from Neal, the banker sent out a steak for his butcher opponent along with the $88,000 offer, and this was followed by the net breaking with the $400,000 amount being taken out.
- The offer dropped to $79,000, which clearly didn't satisfy Washington; he played on two more cases against his supporters until even "100% confidence", as he put it, was too risky to go on, as $236,000 was going to be plenty of money.
- The $400 and $750 cases disappeared, which led to - of all things - $502,000. There's his half-million.....and then the shock was compounded when, on only its second time chosen, case number 1 turned up $1,000,000! This abandonment of such a strong feeling set in motion a trend of excessive optimism among contestants in this season, with numerous players asserting they owned the top prize, despite their knowledge of the requirements to do so, but then coming back to reality when they were actually faced with those obstacles. See game number 211 [1] for the ugly conclusion of this trend.
- Sadly, the next contestant, police officer Michael Abbruzesse, proved too overconfident for his own good, as he covered the deal button with police tape, declaring he would not touch it again. He immediately chose case 1, Neal's ignominious case from the previous game, and was greeted with not a million, but $750,000. Otherwise, however, the first two rounds included only one other large amount before time ran out for the night as $53,000 gets put in the slammer.
