Why is "Deal or No Deal" on TV3 harder/different ?

Liam Byrne

In the proper "Deal or No Deal", there are 22 boxes...
In the Irish version, there are 26 boxes...

Why ?

Because it's run by a frikken magician. He can drive blindfolded down mountains, surely switching a few boxes isn't beyond him.

To make it harder to win big money

in my opinion...the irish verison is pure DRY....its good the way they only have to pick 1 box each round near the end

Because the host doesn't have the charisma to fill the rest of the time slot himself.

Also, the "proper" original Dutch version had 26 boxes.

No I dont

More small boxes means chance of having a big box, means can offer less
means less chance of winning big

WHICH means harder to win big money
WHICH means harder?

*Game requires nerve and a willingness to lose if needs be

Most people who go on it never seem to have either
probably picked because of this???

THe chances of winning are lengthened yes, but the actuall difficulty level is still the same.
