From Paris to Jamaica

THE BANKER’S DEAL

AFTER all this time, my request to turn the heat up on Digicel Deal or No Deal has finally been granted. For the faithful followers who missed me last week, I am here again having recovered from two consecutive weeks of fairly successful contestants.

As much as I enjoy holding on to my money I moreso enjoy when a contestant puts up a good fight, and I must admit that both Mr Lindsay, our contestant from two weeks prior and last week’s Mr Harvey did just that. Giving away close to $500,000 one week and over $300,000 the next brought me to my feet.

Mr Lindsay has received the highest payout to date. And for Mr Harvey, those poker tactics definitely proved useful.

I am curious to hear from some of the avid viewers about how my advice assisted in your Valentine’s events. My wife and I decided to keep it low-key and opt for an early Parisian weekend that trickled over into the Ash Wednesday holiday. How unfortunate that I had to come back so soon, but the show can’t go on without me. I wish I could stay in France forever; Johnny Depp was right to move there. It’s where classy, sophisticated, educated and worldly citizens of planet Earth live.

In any case, I do hope I was of some assistance to others who didn’t have a clue and, of course, I will continue to offer my gems of wisdom to those persons who request it and moreso to the ones who need it. As the show has progressed, many have requested some direct contact with me and I have decided to provide you with my exclusive contact information which my assistant will filter through each week, after which I will answer a few of your burning questions. Who knows, I may even mention your name in my column and even put in a good word or two with the producer for next season.

I am looking forward to hearing from you especially the ones who sit in front of the television and shout at me as if you would do any better on my show. I am also looking forward to the final weeks on Digicel Deal or No Deal. To be honest, from the look of things contestants are coming with their ‘A’ game and are very determined to take home the top prize.

Tune in tonight for the twists, turns and unmistakable drama.

Au Revoir,

Monsieur Banker
