Season 2

Game 0 - Test game played by llama009

Result: $100 - After a 1 hour 20 minute delay (for Angelo to arrive) the game got under way with the test subject of llama009 playing. Cheyne the host announced the new interactive game board [1] and the game got under way. After choosing case 7, llama009 knocked out the $2, $20 and $1 to be offered a $30 offer which was forcefully rejected. The second round got off to a flying start with the 50c being knocked out followed by the $50 to be offered $60 which was once again rejected. The third round llama009 knocked out $75 to be offered $70 which was once again rejected with a '2 above and 2 below.' comment by llama. Behind number 2 was $5 after a stall and a smart ass comment by Angelo to forum member Dr Neo Lao. The next round Angelo tried to take over the game to be beaten by Cheyne to the case number 3 being locked in, to knock out the $200:(. The offer plummeted with an offer of $45 leaving llama009 with $100, $10 or the offer. The decision was made of 'No Deal' and llama had to choose screen 7 which contained $10 leaving the $100 in fake money to llama009's case.

Season 1

Game 7 (2006 Grand Final) - CoZZa

Result: $75 - After boasting that CoZZa would come out with the best results and knowing what was in cases, CoZZa's phycic abilities were put to the test with the Grand Final game. Starting off strong knocking out the lowest cases and going strong throughout the game, the game ended with a choice between a $135 Jumba offer, a chance at having either the $200 or $75. He chose his own case which had $75, the highest winnings made in TDONTD.

Game 6 - AdamRoper

Result: $0.50 - After a delayed start the game went under way with barley a mouse squeek in the audience. Things started out strong with some low numbers getting picked and the highest offer reached $40. Things went bad from here on in, with the large numbers getting picked. Adam went the whole way and chose to go with his case which ended up having only 50 cents - so far the record for lowest finishing amount above $0.

Game 5 - Gav

Result: $40 - After knocking out the $200 right off the bat and the $100 soon after, Gav worked his way through some Jumba offers then took the deal at $40, a record winning amount up to this point. In the end, his case number 3 was revealed to have $75.

Game 4 - Aussiepete

Result - $10: Aussiepete went all the way, with Jumba's highest offer throughout play at $85 which Aussiepete declined, only to next choose the $200 case and in the end walk away with his case (Number 9) which had $10. This was the first game played that did not have an option for "Double or Nothing".

Game 3 - Talie

Result - $0: Talie went all the way with the highest Jumba offer being $35, then down to $10 which was all gambled only to be revealed that she'd lost it all. She received a Jumba lanyard as a consolation prize. Talie chose Case number 7 which had $1.

Game 2 - The WebDruid

Result - $20: The WebDruid played it safe and took the $10 Jumba deal early on and then took a risk gambling it all to double his money and end the game with $20. The WebDruid had chosen case 6 which had $20.

Game 1 - llama009

Result - $18: llama009 had a high offer of $25 which came down to $15 which was a deal. $3 was gambled and payed of with a final prize of $18. llama009 chose case 7 which had $20.
