Well, Season 2 of Deal or No Deal Island is almost over. Sigh. This season leveled up in every possible way. The new female Banker’s twists were wild, and the gameplay was outstanding.
Last time, CK, David, and Lete competed in the final excursion, which brought back plenty of familiar faces. In the end, CK had the longest time for the challenge and was eliminated. So, let’s dive into the Season 2, Episode 12 finale recap of Deal or No Deal Island, “The Final Deal.”
Lete has $5.5 million total from the cases she brought back. So, David needs his final case from Phillip to be worth more than $1.8 million to play the Banker.

Alexis Lete was the thirteenth player eliminated in Deal or No Deal Island Season 2.
David’s case was worth $2 million, so David will play the Banker! In Lete’s final confessional, she said, “I wanted to win this so badly, to the point where I could cry right now, but I’m going to hold it back. Tonight, the way it went down, spoke true to my character of trusting people.” She added, “But I played to the best of my ability and I’m incredibly proud of myself.” Lete did play an excellent game.

When he found out that he would be playing for the final case, David got down on his knees. “How does it feel to be the last guest standing, or kneeling?” host and Game Master Joe Manganiello asked.
“You dream about it. You pray about it. I can’t believe it’s happening, Joe,” David said. “It doesn’t even feel real.”
Suddenly, Joe received a phone call. The Banker rewarded David by adding the highest case value from the last excursion to the final case. So, David is playing for $12,232,001!
So, Joe asked if David was ready to compete for the money. “Thank you everybody. WHAT A SHOW!” David yelled as he headed towards Joe. “I’m getting the f*ck away from this water!” Joe exclaimed as David hugged him.

As David entered The Temple, all of the former contestants were there, cheering him on. This cast is perfection!
If David wins the final case, it will be the highest cash prize in TV history. When asked what propelled David to the finale, he replied, “I think it was my social game. The connections I had in there were real and genuine. And I really loved playing with you guys. You’re awesome.”
When Dr. Will was asked what he thought of David, Dickson, and Parvati’s alliance, the Family, his answer didn’t disappoint. “I thought it was like the Manson family. I was concerned and I was trying to fracture the Family, and that’s one of the reasons that I targeted M.G., and I’m so sorry,” Dr. Will said. “You’re not sorry!” M.G. exclaimed, and Will agreed.
Finally, Seychelle chimed in on the Family. “I’m going to keep it a buck with you. When I saw how my alliance was moving, I was also, ‘Make me an auntie. Cousin Sey from around the way,’” she said.

Chrissy Teigen made her entrance as the Banker, and the contestants went wild! Chrissy shared a video clip, showing that she was case model 12 on the original Deal or No Deal.
For David’s game, there are 26 cases. Inside one of these cases is the final case, worth $12,232,001. Twelve more high-value amounts were added to the right side of the board. And the left side was filled with low values.
For his case, David picked 18. In the first round, he had to open six cases. And he is focusing on numbers associated with love. During the first round, David managed to knock off almost all low numbers.
So, Chrissy decided to chat with David. “David, I have to admit, I only invited you here for eye candy,” she said. David’s first offer of $230,000 elicited boos from the audience. He declined the deal, so in the second round, he had to open five cases. During this round, he knocked off two high values, including the second highest on the board.
Chrissy’s offer for the second round was preceded by the revelation that she is a Boston Rob [Mariano] fan. But David wasn’t fazed. “That’s cold-blooded,” he quipped. “He didn’t win this show, did he?”
The offer was $499,000. Suddenly, Dr. Will asked if he could say something to David. “Australian Dave, don’t be a b*tch mate.” As you may recall, that is what David called Will during his chaotic Temple. As he declined the deal, David said, “Mama didn’t raise no b*tch, Joe.”

During the third round, David had to open four cases. So, David asked Dickson to pick a case, and he mentioned 10, for one of his favorite case models, Anya, or 13 for Layla. “What the hell?” Chrissy said as Dickson laughed.
David picked 10, and later 13, and both were low numbers. Then Parvati volunteered that her birthday was on the 21st. “I guess it’s kind of clear that you don’t really wear the pants in this Family,” Chrissy told David. Burn! So, the new Banker offered David $994,000.
There were still six cases worth over $1 million, including the final case. Meanwhile, there were five numbers left on the low side of the board. In the next round, David has to open three cases. Decisions, decisions.
Welp, he was moving on again. After surviving the fourth round, Chrissy asked David what he won on Australian Survivor. He said $500,000. So, Chrissy offered him $1,523,000. If David takes this deal, he will be the biggest winner in DONDI history. However, he only has to choose two cases in the fifth round. Joe cautioned him that if he takes the $12 million off the board, he won’t get another high offer.

Meanwhile, going against Dickson, Dr. Will, and Lete’s advice, he refused the deal. After he picked a case for his eldest son, the contestants clapped and chanted, “One more case!” Somehow, he managed to keep the $12 million on the board. “I live for this, man. I live for it!” David exclaimed, along with a growl like a cheetah. Sexy!
“David, I have to say you are a worthy opponent. I’m going to look you right in those gorgeous, Australian eyes,” Chrissy said. “I am going to give you an offer, and you are going to take it.” His offer is now $1,980,000. David has the $1 million and the $12,232,001 case left, along with four low values. In the next round, he had to open two more cases. Joe pointed out that it was “not a player’s board.”
However, David was in some type of zone. “What’s meant for me is meant for me,” David replied as he declined the deal. Now David is in the sixth round, which is insane! He knocked off the $1 million, but the $12 million was still in play. Plus, Chrissy’s next offer was $2,900,000.
Once again, David turned down the cash offer. Joe looked surprised, Parvati looked terrified, and La Shell proclaimed, “He’s a man possessed.”

During the seventh round, David had to pick one case. I am breaking out in a cold sweat. David felt that he had a sign, so he kissed his necklace and selected case 17.
Finally, Kamari opened the case, and it was $750. David said he closed his eyes and saw a “flash” on case 17. He added, “Joe, I give my game up to God now,” he said.
While Chrissy knelt in front of the Banker’s throne, she gave her next offer of $3,870,018. It is the biggest offer in DONDI history.
According to David’s logic, he picked case 18 for his case. Case 7 (his lucky number) is still there. But he has an issue with the other remaining case, number 24. “David, are you really prepared to walk away from something this big?” Joe asked. At this point, Dickson and Parvati were pleading for David to take the deal.
You guessed it! David declined the deal. Chrissy was lying on the floor, Joe had his hands on his knees, and Dickson looked like he was going to faint.

It was the final round, and David had $25, $75, and $12,232,001 left on the board. He had to select one case. Then Ben opened the case that David picked, and its value was $25.
“David, I’m not going to mess around. You played an amazing game. This is by far the highest offer in Deal or No Deal history,” Chrissy said, offering him $5.8 million. If David turns it down, he will have to open his case. It could contain more than $12 million, or $75. Yikes!
Naturally, David wanted to play the most epic game ever. However, Joe told him that if he took the Banker’s offer, it would be the most money ever won on network TV.
“You would truly be, the Golden God,” the DONDI host told him. But if he turns it down and his case contains the $75, his rep would plummet. David doesn’t want to go home empty-handed. Finally, he took the deal. Hallelujah! This Temple was EPIC!
After everyone rejoiced, Joe asked him to open his case. He had $75, so he made a good deal. In his final confessional, the winner of Deal or No Deal Island Season 2, said, “I actually can’t even believe it. I knew I had it. I was feeling my dad was in there with me, God was in there with me,” David said. “Oh, my goodness!”
In a clip at the end of the show, Chrissy said, “Am I fired? I’m literally the worst Banker of all time!”
Congratulations to David for making DONDI history!
