With videoThat the Eindhoven Yvonne has balls, was announced on Sunday eveningin the last episode of this season of Million night well clear. But her gutswere not rewarded: she played off one big amount after another, leaving thebank anything but generous. Despite that fact, Yvonne returned home with a bigsmile and a large amount of money.
The nearly 1.6 million viewers saw her start so energetically in the firstround: Yvonne played away the 200,000 euros and 750,000 euros, but she mainlymanaged to get low amounts from the briefcases. Linda de Mol was veryenthusiastic and called it a ‘very nice opening round’. The bank turned out tothink the same, because Yvonne received an initial offer of no less than77,000 euros. ,,An extremely high opening bid, really. I almost never seethat,” said the presenter with surprise.
But 55-year-old Yonne, who would love to start a small-scale bed and breakfastin the Portuguese Algarve, decided not to go into business with the bank.Round two, however, went a lot less well for her: both the 1 million euros andthe 2 million euros went out of the game. Again the bank made an attempt toconvince Yvonne to stop, but for 103,000 euros she preferred to play a littlefurther.
Success was not exactly on her side, because once again she lost a largeamount: the 2.5 million euros. “Ow, ouch, ouch. That’s not good. We now needthree lows”, De Mol cheered the nurse on. She then played away 25,000 euros,100 euros and 50 euros, but her hopes of winning a large amount diminishedwith the round. Meanwhile, the bank reported again with an amount of 166,000euros. Did Yvonne have to choose eggs for her money or did her curiosity win?She went ahead no deal meaning Yvonne continued the game.

Unfortunately, her courage was not rewarded: in the fourth round, Yvonnepicked out the 5 million. ,,Amazing bummer “, De Mol empathized with her.Due to the loss of the huge amount, the bank offered 100,000 euros less thanthe last bid. De Mol again gave Yvonne some courage: she only had to open twobriefcases with low amounts and then the bank would probably come up with abetter offer. Yvonne took the gamble and closed the box: no deal.

The bank did not come up with a much better amount after that: 89,000 werebid. Yvonne took the risk and declined the offer. After opening one morebriefcase, the bank gave her 107,000 euros. What did she care, she thought,and so again she didn’t settle for the offer. “Ah, boys”, exclaimed De Mol.Yvonne had to make sure that she would keep the 300,000 and 500,000 euros inthe game, but when she opened the next briefcase she saw the 300,000 eurospass by.
The bank turned up again and saved Yvonne: the offer of 107,000 euros wasstill valid. “Yes, I have to take this,” she concluded. And so she went homewith more than a ton in her pocket. What was in her own briefcase? 500,000euros. Yvonne’s dream to start a bed and breakfast in Portugal shattered, butwith buying a new car and taking a nice trip with her children, Yvonne wasalready pleased with it.
Million dollar hunt is a popular briefcase game. This year it meant Linda deMol’s return to SBS 6 after the abuses in The Voice of Holland. Lindastopped her work in January after it turned out that her ex-partner JeroenRietbergen was involved. The recordings of Million dollar hunt dragged herthrough a dark period. A warm applause from the studio audience during thefirst episode moved her.
