Deal or No Deal? No Deal!

by Bob Sassone, posted Dec 20th 2005 12:17PM

Howie MandelOK, yeah, I sat through the new NBC game show hosted by Howie Mandel. Supposedly it's the #1 game show around the world right now, but I just don't get it. I mean, it's a simple enough game, and it's possible to win a boatload of cash, but it really gets tedious after about, oh, 20 minutes.

There are 26 models on stage, each holding a suitcase. Each suitcase has an amount of money in it, ranging from a penny to $1,000,000. The contestant picks a suitcase, which is brought down to them and sits next to them while they play the game. The contestant keeps picking suitcases to see the amounts inside, and during the game a mysterious banker calls Howie and makes the contestant an offer for her suitcase. This continues on and on and on until you want to hurt someone.

Not only did the first contestant take too many illogical chances, but the whole bit with the banker is ridiculous. Great models though.

The show is a real attention getter. Me and my family are wondering how we apply to become a contestant on the show?

We have watched the show a few times and love it!! However, having trouble finding out if, and when, it is going to be televised in our area. When we hear the show is advertised to be on a certain time and certain station, then it is not on as advertised. Any way to find out if it is going to be a regular program in our area?

The show is great and it seems easy to follow. But how do I get on the show and become one of the contestants.

I think the show is great..your odds of winning are pretty good..whether you leave with the million or $75,000 it's more than you initially came there with in the first place.

I finally caught this show tonight, and I think it's really easy to just watch one episode, get the jist of it, then move on...nothing to see here. There's no skill involved, just picking suitcases. No digg.

The gameshow was filmed about 3-4 months ago in LA. There is no way to be on the show.
