Deal or No Deal [threads merged]

Slippin Jimmy

I remember when the show first came out. It was really really good. They got straight to the point, none of this crap in between. They cut out the bull and just played the game. I used to watch it a lot when it came out, now I don't really care if its on or not. I've noting against Noel, he is a great presenter. But the contestants are just annoying. I liked it better before. Does anyone else feel the same?

I haven't see the UK version but my guess is that the guests are probably as annoying as the ones in the US. It gets boring after a while.

I still love it, but now for all the wrong reasons.

I enjoy watching the ones who've been spouting crap while they were standing the the wings get badly stung.

I can't remember the names of contestants but there was a bloke a couple of weeks ago, who, while in the wings was always saying "no deal" or things along those lines, even when the offer as too good to refuse, egging the contestant to go all the way. He dealt at about £7,000 (the third offer, iIrc), and then there was £75,000 in the box!

Twat.

I've only seen a couple of shows and still don't get how it works..

Is it really just complete chance? That they guess whatever numbered box and if its a low amount its good, high amount thats bad.

You see them with pieces of paper and a formula worked out and all its mad... I think its just luck really.

Noel Edmonds is funny tho

I can honestly say that I really don't like the show. I've watched it three times just so I can be sure I didn't catch a 'poor' episode. Each time I feel like they intentionally drag the show out for an hour when it really should be thirty minutes maximum.

Can't stand it...in case you hadn't guessed

Haha, the one that was on it today only got 1p. So happy.

I used to love the Aussie one. Great presenter.

Mr Magnolia

On the contrary, I think the new ones are the best.

Because I don't get home till late in the evening I record them on my sky+, for some reason it didn't record the last episode before the summer break.

Does anone know who was called up, and how much they won.

It was on on saturday 22-07-06 (last night).

Thanks in advance!

mikedragon32

It should be replayed today on More4, I missed it too. I hope it was Lance, he seems to have been there for ages and he seems like an intelligent bloke who may have a system!

Do the contestants who were on the wings come back for the next season or does the show start again with a new 22?

True, hate to have missed it, I'll check out more4 tonight, although it's there I record to my sky+. I'll let you know if it's replayed.

I'd imagine so, they'd have to.

It got Edmonds back on tv and is the emperors new clothes of gameshows as far as I'm concerned. Those two are bad enough but putting aside that the game is a joke, are the contestants even genuine or just out of work actors? I'd like to think the producers just got a bunch of joe soaps tanked up before the camera started rolling but I can't be sure.

That one was pretty funny alright, fairly stung. I loved it the first few times I saw it, but it get a little boring after a while.

Hal1

Hes a tard tbh

Ruu_Old

Haha, is Edmonds that bad? I'm in the US so I have to put up with that baldy fecker, Howie Mandell.

Mr Magnolia

He's that bad that he's actually very good IMO.

Classic Episode that was. Tonights Anniversary Episode saw a guy deal at 70,000 (he was gaurenteed 10,000 or the 250,000 and he beat the banker!). His wife was sitting beside him telling him to deal at 25,000 and when he didnt he ended up taking out the blues again. She then told Noel she had been responsible for 99.9% of his decisions and the money was hers anyway. I was horrified for him being so whipped like that, and her flicking her hair every second minute.

I personally think we should have a thread on this show, to whom would I need to apply to make this request a reality?

You really feel sorry for this man

mukki

did you see the blonde on in on sunday, wooow

admiralofthefleet

did anyone see the article about edmonds in one of the sunday papers. apparently he has been passing female contestants his mobile number and date? written on a slip of paper. apparently he has been out with a few as well, his last being a 22 year old. she was quoted as saying ' i got stubble rash from his beard'.

i wonder if there will ever be an irish version, ray darcy would be my choice as presenter.

mukki

todays episode was great, the girl dealt at 22k and would have won 250,000 she started arguing with her fella


she was right to deal at 22k in my opinion, if i was on it and guarenteed over 20k i would deal too

While 20k is a lot of money when you reach the end of the game and 100,000 and 250,000 are still up on the board I think ya gotta go for it!!


’tis better to have played and lost, than not played at all.

thats just gambling, gamblers nearly always loose, they just talk about the times they win too much

also you would kinda guess which are the low ones during the show, and start picking them off, then after you deal, you start avoiding them, so chances are if she had played on (and swapped) she would have gone home with a hell of a lot less

gonna try to put it up on youtube for all

Oh my! I can't believe that! What are the chances hey?!

fade2black

I think the 250,000 is won on today's show. (I could be wrong) On channel 4 now

fade2black

Yep...it'll be won in 10 minutes or so

Gillie

It was fantastic today.
She coulda dealt at 19999 & 45000 but said no!
She really deserved it. Even Edmunds was choked up at the end!

Best on ever

Livvie

Does anyone else find it really annoying that the papers tell us when someone wins the top prize - it's the same with Millionaire. We knew a month or so ago that Laura was going to win the 250k, and that kind of spoils watching the rest of the shows.

And I think it would be a good idea if everyone had to decide the order of the boxes they would pick, and give it to Noel E. at the start - that way we would know for sure that they are playing the game exactly as they would. I don't know how people would actually remember the order they might have chosen originally, unless it's written down.

elurhs

Deal or no deal really annoys me because as has already been said here its gambling. It makes absolutely no difference what order the boxes are picked in as its all random. When contestants say they have a system, they're talking absolute rubbish.
Edmonds is also sleazy as hell. There's a reason his TV career was in the ****ter before he resurrected it with this.

Pineapple stu

Is the women the other day the first winner? Noel said a while ago that there had been a few 250000 winners but they might not show them. Dont know why.

iFight

I heard that too, but how would they not show people's games, surely they cant just leave the game with no explanation

Fandyfan

i never watch the whole thing, i usually flick it to the last 10mins of the show, u get the whole jist of it in those ten mins anyways!

mukki

thats the same with any gameshow, in the last 10 minutes you start to realise how much money the person will be going home with
