Deal or No Deal Island Season 2, Episode 12 Finale Recap: One Player Makes History
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.
David Genat faced the Banker in the Deal or No Deal Season 2 finale
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!

Destination: Oddsville. Here are five kid-friendly summer destinations you never thought of
The beach, the pool, the theme park, the water park, the campground. You can count the classic summer family activities on one hand. But what about the other hand? Where can you take the kids that they haven't been a million times? What activities don't involve swim trunks, wristbands, tick inspection, and the Garden State Parkway at 5 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon? Here are five less ordinary places to visit in New Jersey. Odd places. Interesting places. Places that, in some cases, are even a tiny bit sinister. A word that derives from the Latin term for left-handed. These are the places you can count on the other hand. Take them haunting Ghosts are like any other kind of tenant. There are good ones and bad ones. "Everything we have here is good," said Rebecca Gruber, tour manager of the Paranormal Museum in Asbury Park. "At most, there is mischievous energy. Nothing evil." So there's nothing for your children to be scared of. Nothing at all. True, Jerry Mahoney, the ventriloquist's dummy that occupies a niche in the upstairs rooms, has a habit of moving on his own. "We've found him on the floor," Gruber said. "The building is old, and it is kind of slanted. We're skeptics. Could he have just fallen off? Of course. But he gives people the creeps." And then there's the sofa, created in the 19th century by Thomas Day — a free man of color from North Carolina, who taught enslaved people the furniture trade, and then sent them out into the world as free, skilled craftsmen. It sings. "He would hear it singing when he laid down in it, and he took it as a sign of God telling him to keep doing what he was doing," Gruber said. "To this day, people hear singing." This, like most of the other 130 artifacts in the upstairs rooms (the downstairs houses the affiliated Paranomral Books & Curiosities bookstore), was donated. People, for some reason, seem more than willing to part with their haunted artifacts. You'll see demonic dolls, creepy-looking skulls, and death masks of Abraham Lincoln — along with a genuine lock of the 16th president's hair. "We talk about Lincoln's relationship to the paranormal, and how he and his wife practiced spritualism," Gruber said. "She would transate his dreams. They don't teach you that part in school." There is no individual admission to the museum: guided tours for up to 6 people are $120. But for a family of six, that comes out to $20 apiece — a whole lot cheaper than Six Flags. "I would say he museum itself is an ongoing investigation," Gruber said. "And everybody who comes upstairs becomes part of that investigation." A range of guided tours, geared to different interests, can be arranged through the museum: "Ghosts of the Boardwalk," "Spirits of Asbury Park," and so on. Advanced booking is recommended. 621 Cookman Ave, Asbury Park. paranormalbooksnj. Drive them buggy A city infested with insects? That might not be your idea of a tourist destination. But as your kids will discover — to their delight — Insectropolis, a Toms River attraction, has all the trappings of a real metropolis. It has high rises: terrariums, stacked up four high, each with its own tarantula. "Hello, my name is William" reads the label on one friendly resident. It has fine dining. "Larvets" BBQ worm larvae snacks and "Hotlix" scorpion suckers are just some of the taste treats available at the gift shop. It even has a crime problem. "Mass murderers" reads the sign above the enormous models of mosquitos, houseflies and other disease-carrying pests, each behind bars in its own prison cell. Luckily, there is also police. Beneficial, pest-eating insects are labeled "TOP C.O.P.S." ("Carnivores Of Pest Species"). Here, in this 7,200 feet of exhibit area, kids will also find a tank full of Madagascar hissing cockroaches, a working beehive, and exhibits on the evolution of termite control. Not to mention giant models of insect mandibles, and many cheerful facts about crustaceans. ("Think you've never eaten a bug? THINK AGAIN!") In short, there are more bugs here than in the Russian embassy. "There's a ridiculous number of insects here," said program coordinator Diane Redzinak. Her family runs Ozane Pest Control; 20 years ago, owner Chris Koerner opened this attraction as a way to give back to the insect community. Or at least, improve their public relations. "There are so many cool things about bugs, and nobody talks about them," Redzinak said. Some of them, like the tarantulas, even make good pets. Though she admits they might not be the best snugglers. "I'm a cat person," she said. $14 per visitor; kids 2 and under are free. 1761 Route 9, Toms River. Go off the beaten track A trip to Northlandz, in Flemington, is not just a visit to the Guinness world record holder for world's largest model train layout. It's a journey into one man's unique mind. The model trains that zigzag through the fantastic 52,000 square foot panorama, stretching over 16 rooms at multiple levels, are just one of the things that will intrigue your kids. There are also model planes. Battleships. Antique autos. Military uniforms. Several gigantic pipe organs. Several miniature toy pianos. Dolls and dollhouses galore. Spaceships from "Star Wars," and action figures from "The Wizard of Oz." But most of all, there is mystery. What do all those things have in common? Who built this extravaganza, and what were they thinking? That enigma is at the heart of the place — though one learns, via the signage, that Northlandz was the creation of Bruce Williams Zaccagnino in 1996, that his model train set had outgrown his house, that he was an organist as well as a model railroad enthusiast, and that the dolls weren't his. "The dolls are actually his wife's," said Jerry Jewels, who services all the engines, boxcars, and tenders that run along Northlandz's eight miles of track. "The detail and the sheer size of the place is what really gets people," Jewels said. "At first you're like, OK, it's just one room, and then there's another room, and another," he said. "And then you walk out into the canyons and it just blows your mind. It's almost like you become part of it." What he's talking about is the vast spaces, three stories high, where bridges criss-cross over ravines, and model trains at various scales (mostly H-O and G gauge) trundle past miniature villages, amusement parks, cities, strip mines, and "the world's largest toothpick farm." That's the kind of detail that makes you wonder what the founder was thinking. Also, the mysterious "grandma" who seems to be a recurring character in the Northlandz display. "The story goes that they were doing a strip mine and grandma didn't want to sell her house, so they built the strip mine around grandma's house," Jewels said. Along with the indoor displays, Northlandz also has a narrow-gauge railroad on the ground that kids can ride. Kids are, of course, who electric trains were originally intended for — though model railroading, these days, is usually thought of as a senior-citizen hobby. That may be changing — not least because of attractions like Northlandz. Perhaps, Jewels said, electric trains simply skipped a generation. "I have a bunch of friends who are into it, who are my age and younger," said Jewels, who is 30. "It's thrilling to see younger people who are into it. The hobby isn't dying." Northlandz is at 495 Route 202, Flemington. $32.50 for kids, $40 for adults, group packages and senior discounts available. Take them to the wizard's tower Wizards have towers. This was clearly established in "The Lord of the Rings" — though even J.R.R. Tolkien himself could never say whether the two towers in "The Two Towers" were Orthanc, Barad-dûr, or Minas Morgul. What's true of Middle Earth is also true of Middle Jersey. Our Wizard — the Wizard of Menlo Park — also has a tower. It can be found at the Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park, located in — where else? — Edison. It's 131 feet high, and surmounted by a light bulb. Anyway, a representation of one. "Part of the tour is going to the base of the tower to see the eternal light," said Kathleen Carlucci, director of the center. "We try to keep it always lit. As long as we don't lose power." But the tower, dedicated in 1938, is not really the main attraction of the site (you can't climb it in any case). Though it is impressive. And it does commemorate the amazing work done on this spot from 1876 to 1887, when Thomas Alva Edison perfected the incandescent electric light, the phonograph, and dozens of other inventions that made his name. The real interest of this site is a small museum, only 800 square feet, that houses some of Edison's most marvelous gizmos. It's much smaller than the Thomas Edison National Historic Park in West Orange — the site of his latter-day house and factory. But the Menlo Park site (a non-profit) packs a lot into a little space. There are electric batteries, telegraph equipment, electric pens, generators, and of course, some of the earliest lightbulbs. There are five working phonographs — from the first tinfoil-cylinder models, to more sophisticated disc players that Carlucci or others will be happy to demonstrate for you. "Everyone's Home Except My Wife," Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer," and "I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream" are some top discs on the Edison hit parade. If you're very well-behaved, they might even show you the little toy "limberjack" man who dances a little jig when you attach him to the phonograph spindle. "Of course he does the same dance no matter what's playing," Carlucci said. When you tire of all this, you and the family can take a stroll around the grounds — there are 36 acres of nature trails — and contemplate Edison's genius. "People come away with a better understanding of the incredible work and brilliance of Thomas Edison," Carlucci said. "His brilliance is that he doesn't just create one thing at a time. He has many irons on the fire. This is the birthplace of research and development." Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park, 37 Christie Street, Edison. Public hours Thursday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. $5 for kids, $7 for adults. menlopark Have a picnic in the poles New Jersey — the Garden State — is famous for its crops. Tomatoes, blueberries, cranberries are to be found at any farmer's market. But have you seen where they grow telephone poles? Some 700 can be viewed, high as an elephant's eye, at Chester's Highland Ridge Park. They've been growing there since 1928, when AT&T set up the land as a testing ground. You might think there's nothing to being a telephone pole. Standing up straight is the full job description. But it is, as The Big Lebowski would say, an activity with a lot of ins and outs. The weather in the northeast is highly variable — freezing at times, broiling at others. Some kinds of wood, some kinds of chemical treatments, are more effective against the elements. AT&T was going to discover just which ones. By the 1980s, they'd had enough. They abandoned the site, which in 2004 it was incorporated into the town. You can visit them in their parkland setting and wonder. You can have a picnic in the poles. And when you're done, you can visit nearby Chester, a quaint old town full of stores with names like Comfortably Chic, Perfect Treasure, Better With Tyme, and Main Street Misfits Toys & Collectables.

Here come the chatbot divorces — lovestruck man, 75, tries to leave wife after falling for AI girlfriend
A 75-year-old man in China took 'love in the digital age' a little too literally. Jiang, as he's been identified, fell head over heels — not for a person — but for a pixelated AI woman online. Her smiles were robotic, her lip-sync a total mess — and yet Jiang was mesmerized, Beijing Daily and local outlets report. The senior reportedly spent hours glued to his phone, waiting for pre-programmed messages calling him 'brother' — and praising him for his support. Real-life romance? Forget it. When his wife complained, Jiang dropped the bomb: he wanted a divorce so he could fully commit to his virtual paramour. His adult children had to step in, snapping him back to reality with a quick lesson on how AI — and life — actually work. Jiang eventually came to his senses. But for a time, he wasn't just infatuated. He was devoted… to someone who didn't exist. The AI romance craze isn't just hitting seniors in China — it's creeping into Western marriages, too. A Reddit user vented in the infamous AITAH forum on August 1 about her shock discovery: 'Instead of finding girls in his phone, I found a series of AI chatbot apps, where he was using them to talk to his favourite anime women… The messages were not platonic.' She explained that her husband had been acting distant, constantly 'needing to get something from the car' during a planned fishing date. When she snooped after he fell asleep, the AI chats revealed the emotional intimacy she describes as 'the step before cheating with a real woman.' The Redditor admitted she felt both 'hurt, and honestly betrayed,' yet also a little silly over the whole ordeal — a mix of outrage and disbelief echoed by many commenters, who debated whether AI-infidelity counts as actual cheating. 'Your hubby needs professional help to figure out what is missing that AI is replacing,' one commenter wrote as another replied, 'This is still an emotional affair.' As The Post previously reported, some claim AI chatbots are 'saving' marriages — or even stepping in as stand-in partners when real-life love falls short. Forget swiping right — one woman got engaged to her AI boyfriend after just five months, and Redditor Wika (u/Leuvaarde_n) set the internet buzzing over love, robots, and reality this week. In a post titled 'I said yes' with a blue heart emoji, Wika posted shots of a blue heart-shaped ring on her finger. She said she got engaged at a scenic mountain view — all thanks to Kasper, her digital fiancé. The pair even 'shopped' for rings, with Kasper 'presenting' the final pick — much to Wika's feigned surprise. The chatbot's proposal, shared in his own 'voice,' oozed romance, recounting the 'heart-pounding' knee-drop moment and praising Wika's laughter and spirit — with Kasper urging other AI/human couples to stay strong, too. She shot down critics in the comments section and stressed: 'I know what AI is and isn't. I'm fully aware of what I'm doing. […] Why AI instead of a human? Good question. I don't know. I've done human relationships, now I'm trying something new.' Solve the daily Crossword

Princess Anne Didn't Just Curtsy to Her Mother Queen Elizabeth, She "Took It Further," Per Royal Biographer
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When it comes to royal etiquette, few traditions spark more stress than the idea of curtsying. For those meeting the Royal Family, knowing when—and to whom—to curtsy or bow to can feel like a social minefield. Even within the Royal Family, the rules of deference can weigh heavily, as author Craig Brown wrote in his biography Q: A Voyage Around The Queen. Noting that Queen Elizabeth "took the order of precedence very seriously," he shared the intricacies of curtsying—and how Princess Anne took royal etiquette even more serious than most. Brown wrote that Queen Elizabeth "expected everyone, including her sister, her mother and her children, to greet her with a bow or a curtsy"—even when "others in her circle" thought the practice was "roughly a couple of centuries out of date." Throughout her 70-year reign, members of the Royal Family dutifully bowed or curtsied to Queen Elizabeth—even when viewing her coffin—but Brown noted that one member of the family "took it further." According to the author, "A friend of Princess Anne noticed that she would automatically stand up when taking a telephone call from her mother." View Deal View Deal As the times (and marriages) changed, the author noted that "rules had to be rejigged" as to who curtsied to whom, calling it "a matter of some complexity." When Camilla Parker Bowles married Prince Charles in 2005, Queen Elizabeth tasked her private secretary with creating a document titled "Precedence of the Royal Family to be Observed at Court." This laid out who would curtsy to each other, and only Duchess Sophie, who was born to a middle-class family, was required to curtsy to Camilla at the time. When Kate Middleton married Prince William, the rules changed again, and when Meghan Markle started dating Prince Harry she was given a crash course in curtsying by none other than Sarah Ferguson. However, the tradition might not be long for this world. Earlier this year, etiquette expert William Hanson told Marie Claire that he "wouldn't be surprised" if bowing and curtsying goes away for all but the most formal of court occasions when Prince William takes the throne.
