Amy, a native of Oklahoma City, is only two episodes away from reaching the finale. As one of the five remaining contestants, Amy has a legitimate shot at winning Deal or No Deal Island. However, her game has taken a hit over the last two weeks, as she has had to bid farewell to two members of her Night Owls alliance. Now, only she and Stephanie Mitchell remain as they attempt to eliminate Aron Barbell and Survivor: Redemption Island winner Boston Rob Mariano, with Jordan Fowler playing the middle.

Amy and Miranda give an inside look to the Deal or No Deal Island living conditions and production. They also discuss memories from sharing a tent together, and an important from an early excursion that didn't make the air. All this, and so much more, as they discuss Amy's gameplay and strategy!

This week, Nick Grasso became the eighth contestant eliminated from NBC's new hit reality competition show, Deal or No Deal Island. As part of our Deal or No Deal Island coverage, Nick visits the Jack Vita Show for his exit interview.

Nick had his number called upon Monday night, as he was selected by Jordan and Amy to face the banker. He was the only remaining member of the Night Owl alliance that had not yet played Deal or No Deal. Nick and the Night Owls had a plan. They would keep Rob and Aron in the middle, ensuring that their alliance would have complete control of who would go home. With Rob as a clear target, Nick got a chance to take his shot at the Robfather.

Nick made quick work of the board, and with only two cases remaining, received the largest offer in Deal or No Deal history: $4.417 million. He had the $4.25 million and $4.5 million cases remaining. Nick accepted the deal, and unfortunately for him, his case held $4.5 million, meaning that he made a bad deal. Nick's time on the island came to an end.

Jack speaks with Nick about his decision to accept the banker's offer, how a strange dream the night before influenced his decision, Rob and Stephanie's confrontation at the temple, Stephanie's lie to Nick, who Nick would have sent home, and much more!

Following the ninth episode of Deal or No Deal Island, "Are You Ruthless?", Survivor: Guatemala contestant Brooke Struck and Jack Vita return to discuss this week's episode, right here on the Jack Vita Show!

Each week, Brooke and Jack will recap the latest episode of Deal or No Deal Island. Jack will also sit down for a 15-minute exit interview with the most recent contestant eliminated from Deal or No Deal Island. And later this week, S1 contestant Miranda Rose Harrison will return to the podcast for Deal or No Deal Insiders, featuring special guest and fellow S1 contestant Amy McCoy.

The Night Owls are down a number, after Dawson Addis chose to self-eliminate in the previous episode, accepting a $100,000 personal offer from the banker. Upon losing Dawson, the Night Owls invite Jordan to join their alliance, replacing his spot. Jordan has positioned herself nicely between both alliances, and does not appear to be anyone's target.

At the excursion, the Night Owls concoct a plan to keep Boston Rob and Aron from winning immunity and from finishing in the bottom two. This plan takes any power out of Rob and Aron's hands. The plan works to perfection as Aron struggles to work the walkie talkie, and directs Rob to the wrong case. Amy and Jordan win immunity and Nick gets his turn to face the banker.

Nick enters elimination with his eyes set on eliminating Rob. Moments before he begins his game of Deal or No Deal, Rob and Stephanie engage in a big argument. When Nick is down to two cases remaining, Nick is made the largest offer in Deal or No Deal history: $4.417 million. The two cases he has remaining contain $4.25 million and $4.5 million. Nick chose no. 9 as a meaningful number in his life, and surprisingly abandoned the number, accepting a deal. Unfortunately for Nick, his case contains $4.5 million, meaning that he took a bad deal, and he is eliminated from the game.

In the final moments of the episode, Rob warns Stephanie that she made a "big mistake". Stephanie tells Rob to "shut up". Rob gives a confessional stating that if it's the last thing he does, he will make sure Stephanie does not win. It seems that the show is laying the groundwork for an epic battle in Episode 10!

Brooke and Jack break it all down, sharing their thoughts on the episode!

Jack spoke with Dawson on Tuesday, in his exit interview. Dawson discussed his time on the show, why he accepted the personal offer from the banker and chose to self-eliminate, and much more! Later in the week, he will have more to say when he joins Jack and Miranda on Deal or No Deal Island Insiders!

Episode 8 opens with the group returning to camp and Aron still upset over the elimination of Alyssa. Aron joins the Night Owls at a table, and Amy makes a comment about how she did not appreciate Aron telling her to shut up at the temple. Aron snaps and walks away, before Jordan and Boston Rob come to calm him down. Even after a pep talk from Rob, Aron does not appear to be himself throughout the episode. At the excursion, he doesn't seem to be competing with the same fire he had shown through the show's first seven episodes. He does not complete the excursion and is unable to earn safety. With Rob immune, Aron is next on the Night Owls' hitlist. Rob encourages Aron to volunteer to go into the elimination. Aron's initial reaction is to say that he doesn't want to speak to the Night Owls. However, he does eventually pitch himself to Nick. Nick decides to go in a different direction, though, selecting Dawson, with Aron as their clear target.

Earlier, Nick won his second straight excursion, giving him the power to pick which contestant will face the banker at the temple. Boston Rob, Jordan and Stephanie all win safety too, leaving Aron, Amy and Dawson on the chopping block.

Dawson is chosen by Nick to face the banker. With only three cases remaining, he is offered a $1,399,000 offer and a $100,000 personal offer, but it comes with a catch: by accepting the offer, he will be eliminated from the show. With less than three minutes to make a potential, life-altering decision, Dawson opts to accept the offer, becoming the seventh contestant eliminated from contention.

This week, Wisconsin native Dawson Addis became the seventh contestant eliminated from NBC's new hit reality competition show, Deal or No Deal Island. As part of our Deal or No Deal Island coverage, Dawson visits the Jack Vita Show for his exit interview.

Dawson formed a close alliance with Nick, Stephanie and Amy. They called themselves the Night Owls. The Night Owls positioned themselves to pick off another number from the other side in this week's episode. Nick won the excursion, security immunity and also earning the ability to pick which contestant would face the banker that night. Nick selected Dawson. Both Amy and Stephanie had faced the banker, and now it was Dawson's turn. Dawson made quick work of the board, knocking out nearly all of the lower-valued briefcases almost immediately. Later on, with a $3.25 million case, a $2.75 million case and a $300 case as the last three remaining cases in play, the banker called and made Dawson an offer that he couldn't refuse.

Dawson was offered $1,399,000 for the prize pot. He also was offered $100,000 if he eliminated himself from contention. Only given a few minutes to arrive a decision, Dawson chose to take the deal, and he became the seventh contestant eliminated from Deal or No Deal Island.

Dawson chats with Jack about his time on Deal or No Deal Island, his decision to self-eliminate, what his plan would have been had he defeated the banker, how he plans to spend his prize money, and so much more! This is only the first time you will be hearing from Dawson on the Jack Vita Show this week. Later in the week, he will join Miranda Rose Harrison and Jack for Deal or No Deal Island Insiders, as they dive deep into the episode, as well as Dawson's time on the show!
