And the contestants are all best friends...

Eugene Norman · 01-05-2015 04:33PM

It's easy to win. Turn up, open a few boxes, make deal. Win.

walkingshadow · 01-05-2015 04:41PM

Could never watch that show- was always blinded by Noel's shirts.

PeteFalk78 · 01-05-2015 04:45PM

I fcuking hate that show. The contestants and main player especially are knobs.

5starpool · 01-05-2015 05:20PM

That show loves the smell of its own farts.

BrokenArrows · 01-05-2015 05:23PM

Thats exactly what it is. Its a tv show about people opening boxes.

It takes one hell of a good presenter to make it into an exciting show and he manages it.

kfallon · 01-05-2015 05:25PM

Takes 2 mins to do, drag the arse out of it for 45 mins :rolleyes:

Love when this happens tho:

"I'll go for Maggie, no.11, she's my good luck charm!"
"You're such a wonderful person John and a great friend (she knows him 2 days :rolleyes:), hope it's a blue, we're all rooting for you, nobody deserves it more than you!!"
*opens box and it's 250,000*

Always brings a smile to my face

"I want to leave box 7, 11 and 20 til last Noel. That's young Ciara, James and Kevin's age"

Oh yeah because the person who sorts the boxes actually knows this and adds some magic fairy dust to the box.

The show is cringey.

He's on about £3 million a year, apparently.

Back in 2006, Jon Ronson went behind the scenes and wrote a great article about it.

It would be way more interesting if they just told each other to faack off.

Frankie said it best..

He also said "If I wanted to watch people open empty boxes all day, I'd head around to Kerry Katonas house on Christmas morning"

Cant stand the sight of Noel Edmonds. Watch the show before it instead. Countdown. Test yourself on words and numbers all the while admiring the 2 female assistants Rachel Riley and Susie Dent.

RobertKK · 01-05-2015 07:16PM

It is just a program of people clapping the fact someone opens a box.

kneemos · 01-05-2015 07:18PM

They do a "best of" from time to time I think.

I wouldn't mind opening Rachel's box...

Summer wind · 01-05-2015 07:23PM

I've never watched it but from the couple of glances I've given it while channel hopping it seems REALLY BORING.

Buona Fortuna · 01-05-2015 07:25PM

After the show all the contestants ride like rabbits.

Noel an dhis dream factory where all the contestants hold hands to release a positive vibe and other such nonsense. I like to see their faces drop when the big numbers are picked. Headcases.

Great show, here's a collection of my favourite moments.

Lol. He skewered the show.

It's a show for stupid people in between jeremy kyle and Geordie shore.

Some people think their **** don't stink.

I know better than that, I know it stinks, it stinks good, real good.

A creepy guy takes pretend phonecalls and offers young ladies money for them to open their box while a shiny, happy crowd hold hands in a circle and cheer.

Saralee4 · 01-05-2015 09:49PM

Actually there could be a tactic to playing that game but I've never seen anyone do it.

It's about probability.

If you picked box 1 and it's red, the probability is that box 2 is blue. But if box 2 is red, then the probability of box 3 being blue is higher. If you played it in line like this, you would have a better idea on your last boxes what colours each one were.

something like that. I forget how to do statistics but there is definitely a possible game plan you could have however I would say that contestants are told not to pick boxes in a specific order like 1 through to 20!

No.

I haven't watched it in years. Does it still look as cheap as ever? I remember seeing the American version and it looked so different to the British one. It had glamorous models holding up suitcases and a set that looked like it cost millions. The British one looked like it was filmed in a barn, had Noel Edmonds, some cardboard boxes and a phone attached to a rope.

fussyonion · 01-05-2015 11:18PM

I can't stand it.
I can't believe it's been on 10 years already.

When it was new, I did like it, but back then the contestants weren't that ar*ey and the player actually remained in their seat for the duration of the show.

The last time I watched it, the player was walking all around the studio like they owned it, claiming box number 11 held the aura of their dead granny or something, and Noel's harping on about being able to swap a certain box in exchange for a Fray Bentos pie, or some such codswallop.

And then other players have the chance to win holidays and cars and stuff.
Show's gone to pot.
Take it off the air.

Deal or No deal
