Mark's Commentary: Oh, what could have been. Will we ever get a millionaire on this version? I asked this question to several people recently, and they all said no. Garrett is the 14th or 15th person to sell an MDC. I would have played on much longer than he did. I might have won the million if I did.

And there you have it, folks. Comment away.

Would have been $187,000 for me. The $107,000 wasn't near enough the mean to leave with only one to open. The $187,000 was. It would have taken outright foolishness to win the million, though.

With five six-figure sums left at the eleven-case stage, Keshia looks in a steady position, and one that I think she can convert into a good win.

And here is the part of Garrett Smith's movie:

It would have been outrageously tough to win a million. But, for the record, I would've dealt at $346,000, or if I had said ND, deal at $453k but ND less than $400k.

The courage just wasn't there. He blew it, straight up.

Even a targetist probably would have gone on....

Do you live in Hong Kong jimmy?
