Deal or No Deal

[gameshowlover072]

Personally for me, I think the show just dragged on and on too long.  However, I was happy that she came away with something decent.  And, the fact that she opened the 5 million case herself was just ironic...she didn't even know that she had the case after everyone's reaction.  She said, "What..it's the penny?"  I thought that was funny

I also think they could've have had 2 contestants go for the 5 million on the finale in the 90 minutes they were given.  Although, wouldn't have been something if she kept going on and was down to the penny and $750k, and Howie said something like "We will see what's in your case...NEXT Fall...on Deal or No Deal.."  That would have been cool.

Also, less commercials.

And make them shorter, too. Four minute commercial breaks are agonizingly long.

That was stupid. The audience is all "NOOOOOO" and "AWWWWWWW"; Howie's doing his normal bad-briefcase dramatics, and she thinks it's the penny?! Give me a break!

I'm surprised no one said it, but how about less people making bad deals, particular when the odds of wiping out anything BUT the super amount is in their favor, which happens way too often.

My list of things that should be reduced:
Players who are annoyingly excited or do actions/say words that are scripted.

Side supporters who hog cameras for their "15 minutes of fame."

Commercials: Make them shorter.  Better yet reduce the number of commercials breaks.

Speaking of them, how about less of Howie forcing us to commercials while we're waiting to see what's in players "critial case" and/or waiting the bank offer?

Sloppy edits on the good stuff.  It makes the game less interesting with good stuff edited out hastily.

One more: Howie repeating the same things over and over again we already know about.

i would have originally gone all the way after wiping out $5m in an effort to recover the threshold. the third offer should have been around $730k, and i would have tried to beat that. but once i saw an offer bigger than the expected value, i shouted deal at the television. this time i'm the bonehead.

Well, obviously that's what I want to see the most, but it's likely not happening. If anybody wins a million (or whatever the top prize is that day) in this game, it'll be a true miracle.

The only way the top prize will be won is if the two amounts left are the two biggest ones.  

6-5-06 I was playing DOND online.  I picked case 23.  At the end, I had 750k, and 1 mil left, the offer was 483k, the case left was 13.  I said no deal.  I had the million in my case, 750k was in 13.  It's possible, but your luck has to be really good.

That's what I'm thinking. Unless we get a contestant who isn't a wimp (highly unlikely), they're not going for the million unless $750K (maybe $500K or $400K, too) are still up there.
