Deal .... ..... .... or No Deal?

The rules are simple. Choose a briefcase. Then as each round progresses, you must either stay with your original briefcase choice or make a "deal" with the bank to accept its cash offer in exchange for whatever dollar amount is in your chosen case.

Once you decide to accept or decline the bank's offer, the decision is final.

Contestants are encouraged to ask friends or family in the audience for advice; however, only the contestant's answer will be considered binding and final.


The Models-BTW you have a better chance of picking the case with the million(S) in it than you do of finding in real boobs here.

3. I love it but after people finish they do the whole thing with the bank
with no drama. There is no decision being made it is all according to a formula, the bank part anyway.

I like it but I think they should only do it periodically not as a regular show.

13. I agree with you. I really enjoy this show...
but it should remain an occasional "event" and not a regular show. Becoming a regular show positively ruined "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire." It too should have remained an occasional "event."

27. I like it, but that's because I tape it and then watch it in 15 mins.
It's like a guilty pleasure. I fast forward through all the chit chat. Watch the brief case selections, see how much the contestant is offered, whether they take deal or no deal. Can watch the whole show in about 15-20 minutes.

2. Easily one of the worst television shows ever aired.
Let's see...we have a disturbing looking Howie Mandel (note to Howie...the shaved head does NOT work) as host, some contestant choosing a suitcase that has a million dollars in it, with sporadic "calls" from a never seen "banker" trying to bribe the contestant from continuing.

If this isn't one of the sorriest pieces of shite ever aired, I don't know what is.

12. I agree!
I was visiting my mom this past week and she put the show on. I got so tired of hearing the audience yelling and the contestants dithering about what to do that I wanted to pull my hair out. I hope they pull the plug on this piece of crap soon!

23. Awww, Terry, tell us what you really think!
Seriously, I laughed my ass off at the woman who final choice was between $1 and $5. The banker offered her $2, she refused and won a WHOPPING 5 bucks, after turning down something like $170K. What greedy dumbasses American are these days.

26. She turned him down flatly and grabbed for the brass ring!
Not even a consolation prize, just a lousy $5. She had her whole church choir there with her ready to sing some gospel and praise. They got quieter as things went along.....

I never knew it was here in the first place. :shrug:

9. If I see it for a second I want to watch the whole show.
I can't stand Donald Trump... wish he wasn't on it.

And I hate that at the end there's a new player who's just started... now I want to watch tomorrow! You bastards!


Did the doctor lose? :(

10. He settled for
what was it $64K???

HE was offered $140K and passed and opened up a big dollar one and the next offer was $41k. He "lost" $99K in about 20 seconds.

11. Aww that's too bad...
I was hoping he'd do well, what with the loans and him working in a free clinic and all. :(

17. I don't think Trump is a regular feature on the show.
I think he was on the other day to pimp "The Apprentice."

I like how he talks, though. That accent is pretty funny. :)

20. The blonde woman last night was really obnoxious
Or rather, her friends were. I felt so sorry for her husband when he wanted her to take the deal and they were insisting she go on. Thankfully she walked away with $400,000, I think he was going to have a nervous breakdown if she ended up losing everything.

Haven't watched much of it this week. I couldn't believe when that one woman ended up with $5. And she acted happy! :crazy:
