I loved the guy from Chicago. He should be in show business.

Got tears in my eyes. Before game started, contestant said his parents immigrated from Korea with only $750. Contestant plays until three cases left -- $75, $750, and $750,000!!!! He stopped then and took $211,000 deal. Next case he would have opened was the $750,000. His chosen case was $750. As Howie said, "Full circle," or "Circle of life," or something like that.

That was amazing that his case held $750. What are the odds of that happening?

Well you can say neener neener to me, but I still think it is on the lame side. I will watch if there is nothing else and i am doing something else at the same time (computer, dishes, etc.) And if you guys love it, I will not knock it. But for me, it just is tooo drawn out. If they did an hour show in a half hour, then maybe I would enjoy it more. Just too slow paced for me, plus I like a little strategy or thinking involved...

His family was egging him on to go for it. And odds were appropriate for it (2 low, 2 much higher than the offer). It was an interesting result - if they didn't have specific gameshow rules, we would have reason to think it was scripted to end as it did. 'squeek'

1 vs. 100 is losing me a little -- but I love Howie. I don't care for the "Hi, Howie" from the ladies. Reminds me of a job interview . . . !

That's interesting that 1 vs. 100 is losing you a little. I think the show is much better now than it was when it first started. I'm going to be very pissy if the remove 1 vs. 100 permanently from the schedule for Identity. Scoot over Scooter... I was also a little teary last night when Howie gave the mother the $750.00 case.

Me and my friend HATED the wife. We couldn't see that marriage lasting very long when the first thing she said on national TV about her husband was that it'll be the first time "he makes more money than me."

Oh Neko, I took it as a joke...in no way could I form and opinion about her based on that. There's nerves and everything else involved.

ACK! HELP! I DVR'd it tonight and it cut off before the show ended. Can someone tell me what happened when the General turned down the $46,000 (I think it was) and the banker phone rang again! What did the banker want?? If nobody knows, is this a show that can be watched online?

The banker wanted to say he was leaving and then they said they'd find out what happens on the next show.

That's the worst, isn't it? I think it was just their clever way of saying Wait until next show.

Was anybody watching tonight? OMG!!!!!!!!!! It was a two-hour show. TWO contestants took a deal / got out early (under $100,000). Both had picked the $1,000,000 case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The General had picked the $1,000,000 case. IIRC, he sold it for $81,000.
