Deal or No Deal: Season 3

[Doughnut]

Actually, that would be an increase of about 8 times, according to my calculator.  30.7 divided by 3.85 is about 7.974, which can be rounded up to 8.

Just saying.

Wow... last night on DoND, we had a guy taking home $236,000, but had he played all the way to the end, without a case swap, he would've been a millionaire. 

That's a lot more than that $42,000 the breast cancer survivor won last week, which also wasn't too bad.

You've got to wonder how many people are going to say they feel the million dollars is in their case, yet not go all the way to find it in there. Taking the deal was the right decision, so I'm not frustrated about that. What I am bothered by is the fact that he was confident he had the top prize in his case, yet didn't go for it. Why do contestants continue to do that? There's been several times this season where the exact same thing has happened. Someone's got to go all the way some time.

In other depressing news, Lindsay's streak is over at 12. Nothing to be too upset about, though... that's one heck of a run.

Rough night at The Culver Studios. To make matters worse, Lindsay wasn't picked at all. All that equals a lackluster show. Surely we'll see better next Friday.

First off, let me say that it was refreshing to see a contestant like Danny. He was just a good guy... none of the over-the-top stuff that we're used to seeing from Deal contestants. That said, his deal was absolutely terrible. It's been a while since I've strongly disagreed with a deal, but this one was just unacceptable. Lindsay's not doing well, either, so that added to the frustration. Not a good month on Deal so far.

I'll admit though, it was a treat to see Kermit the Frog helping out. (I've always been a fan of the Muppets, so what can I say? ) Kinda like when Big Bird "unexpectedly" showed up on the Xmas show in Lamar Wilson's game...

Only thing I didn't really like about the episode was when the banker showed Danny and Howie the "embarrassing" photos... that was just too much. The Banker's boy band was pretty funny to see, though. 

(BTW, speaking of Howie and the Muppets, I wonder if it would've been funny if Animal and Skeeter (and maybe Bunsen) from Muppet Babies would've shown up [in cartoon form, of course, just like when Howie's Bobby Generic character showed up early in the year], considering they were originally voiced by Howie... )

First off: Erin

Wasn't really an overly exciting show, but it wasn't too bad, either. Let me say that the cheerleader who held #13 did an awesome job. Totally looked like a Deal model. If I'm the producers, I'm talking to her parents after the show and asking them to call back in a few years.

[heelsrule1988]

Two-hour shows are usually garbage, so after Dakenya's game ended, it was shaping up to be another dud. But along comes Jay Garrity, and... wow. I think it's safe to say that his game was the best game of Deal or No Deal that I've ever seen. I only wish he could have done better than $307,000. That's still a heck of a haul, but considering the way his game was going, he should have won so much more.

Oh, and... MICHELE'S WIN AT #6 ON THE TOP TEN MOMENTS LIST?! Bull. #1 in my book.

[PimpinJC]

Well, this is the 1st time I've watched Deal or No Deal in quite some time, and I really liked tonight's show.

I remember at one point during the game Jay's girlfriend told him to eliminate Case 10, but he didn't listen to her.  At first I had a feeling that either the million or $2 million was in there, but it wasn't.  He said at one point during the game something like if he won big, he was going to jump into that pie.  That would have been hilarious if he actually would have done it.

[heelsrule1988]

Kind of a dull show, but at least Lindsay had a fantastic night. Can't do any better than the penny.

[heelsrule1988]

Great night for Lindsay, not so great night for the rest of the show. Two duds and a semi-boring game... but that's typically how two-hour shows go.

Me and Armadillo discussed the show over AIM last night.  After the first two contestants won a combined total of $26 *insert clangs and whoops*, we decided to see if we could suck just as bad.  In game #3, I took Alike's case and Army took Keltie's case.  I won $1.  Army won $5.  Suckitude across the board.

If you ever get on Deal, Heels, I don't know what case you'll pick to be yours, but me and Army both know that #26 will be the last unopened case cuz you'll want to stare at Lindsay for the whole hour.

Friday night, it's models in bikinis!  Ooh la la!

[heelsrule1988]

I was wondering about that because I heard it would be summer-themed! Heck yes!!!

[PriceFanArmadillo]

Decent game...but she did a horrible job of adapting to the fact that she had the biggest safety net either.  If you assume your husband's not dumb/unlucky enough to crash and burn, you could probably go for broke (or at least not take a terrible deal), since if you don't end up with the big money and take a penny, you can always trade it in for the 'backup' deal.

[heelsrule1988]

Yeah... definitely a dumb deal. I consider the middle amounts ($10,000-$75,000) mini safety nets, so as long as those are up there, you have to seriously consider going on.
