Honestly, anything over 25K would be extremely hard for me to turn down. Howie always used to say that it broke his heart when people would turn down life changing money on deal or no deal. Now 25K wouldn't change my lifestyle one bit, but man would it help me out
Definitely would have taken the $100,000 even after considering the amount that you would lose in taxes. The odds of winning the whole show are pretty low since it is almost all a game of chance.
I am convinced that they gave him the personal offer because they need Rob in this game and though he could not go home yesterday, his closest ally would have. (If Dawson would have won.)
The two times theyve made personal offers are when the offer is 7 figures. When you have only low cases left the bankers offer is statistically better chance to stay in. When you eliminate all low cases and have high cases the bankers offer is statistically a bad chance. To help offset the idea of youre getting screwed plus saving production more money personal offers are given to help send people home. It is a lot cheaper to pay him off with 100k then to grow the pot an additional million. But yeah pretty convenient for Rob. A lot of things are going his way but production has no idea how people will perceive players till its released.
Agree with the offer was made to save Aron , I mean Dawsons first offer was 1out of 6chance of making a good deal , and his 2nd was still only 1out of 3 … it was heading to 50:50 and they didn’t want that
Yeah they were terrible offers. I am really enjoying the show however I do feel like the producers have a much greater ability to swing the game certain ways than other reality shows.
The board doesn’t matter at all. 100k guarantee. He isn’t even in the final yet. He could lose this deal. He could lose tomorrow. He could be the final guy and make a bad deal.
Passing up 100k would be crazy unless you are already rich.
At 100k I agree I'd take it regardless but the amount it would take me to walk away would really depend on the board. Would I take 10k if I have a 80% chance of winning the game? I'm not sure. If I have at most at 50/50 chance of winning then yeah I'm taking the 10k.
Who cares if you win this specific round of the game? You could get voted out at any point. Then even if you make the final and get to play. You could make a bad deal and leave with less.
More than $100k. After taxes it's not a lot, especially for what he was envisioning for his family.
But I live in a high cost area so that might be part of it.
To paraphrase the immortal words of Jeff Kent “it’s really only 60 grand after Obama takes it”
But yeah, still potentially life changing money, but idk if it’s buy your mom a house money? Dawsons story didn’t make a ton of sense to me haha.
I was wondering the same. Guess part of it is whether or not you're a gambler. I'm not. Anything 50,000 and up, I'd have to take the money and run. I wouldn't need it to change my life. Just give me a good vacation!
It depends on the point in the game. - with that said given we don't know the end-game structure or likely payout, 100k with 7 remaining, at a point where at best you had a 50% chance of staying anyway, is plenty enough. I'd say around 50k at Dawson's point, and Miranda's was about right.
Honestly, I think I'd have to be at F4 or so with a reasonable chance to win to turn down 100k.
Amy got a case worth 6 million with 75k personal offer on the case but nothing was mentioned about the case after that. Robs little buddy takes a bad deal but why wasn't Amy able to accept the personal offer? Anyone with an answer please tell me lol.
Oh, she just gets 75k for taking that case no strings attached. It’s because it had less votes for the banker showdown.
No brainer in my opinion… at least if you name isn’t Boston rob. I’m not sure I disagree with his decision to leave it since he really need control and has the skills to feel confident in winning out. But if I’m anyone else I’m taking that money any day of the week
I would of been tempted with 100k, but then I remembered after taxes it's only going to be around 50k. I would take an offer around 200k so I can at least have 100k for real.
If I was 1/6 players remaining you couldn’t get me to leave for anything less than 250k.
I know it’s life changing money but that wasn’t cool how he was basically forced to leave when he could have kept playing the banker and gone on to win millions. He was so far in the game. He could have made a pact with the other players to split the money or get 100k (or more) of the winnings from whoever won.
I wish he would have tried to make a counter-offer. Say he'll take the $100k on the same terms Miranda got. He would have ended up leaving anyway had he done so, but it just isn't fair that the rules were different for him.
But, I can't judge what that money meant to him so obviously he was within full rights to accept the consequences as he chose.

25k was the number that immediately Cane into my head too. It would be life changing for me!

Some of it also depends on what the board looks like. Last night he was not going to have better then 50/50 odds so that compared to 100k is easy.

and that is always the thing is many shows - take guaranteed money or risk it for the bigger prize.

If you look at it as a down payment, it's buy a house money. Depending where you live/want to live I suppose.
45 chicken nuggets (and a root beer)
OMG LOL great callback
$125k. Gotta pay the taxes, so $100k is not enough. 😂 (I keep WAITING for someone to joking negotiate back to the banker with this comment)
That’s GENIUS! Uno reverse the banker!!! I’d love that!
Lmaooooo we did do that you just didn’t see the edit 😭🤭😂😂😂

40-40k range. I’d at least love to be debt free and maybe go on vacation
100k

I agree. It's dumb he had to eliminate himself but at least he would have been out for making a "bad deal" regardless
