Deal or No deal?

[roosta]

I don't know if you non-Irish/UK heads have this show or a version of it, but its the most addictive game show EVER!

Basically, its about complete blind luck, a bit of gambling and knowing when to walk away...no questions, no real skill needed, but its captivating viewing.

In addition, the host is Noel Edmonds a television legend who's mastery of the monologue has to be seen to be believed.

Todays episode is amazing. Aaron (the stats whizz) is playing and his first 5 boxes were blue (a first ever) and he got the biggest ever first round bankers offer....im transfixed!

if you have no idea what this show is about ill recap latter or feel free to discuss the size of your vaginas or how fast you can cycle up hill.

[Qdrop]

yeah, we got it in the states.

howie mandel hosts it.

it's okay. i watch it sometimes.

[Planetary]

nooooooooo! its wank, and noal edmond's hair is stuck in the 80's!

[roosta]

nooooooooo! its wank, and noal edmond's hair is stuck in the 80's!

i can handle criticism of the show, but not of noel or his amazing fashion sense.

in fact, i can't even handle criticism of the show. its amazing!

WOW!
he's almost knocked out every blue! ho ho!

[Planetary]

lol it truely is lame. and i don't remember the last time i saw noel without a tight, tucked in button-shirt on.

[enree erzweglle]

I saw that show when I visited Australia and everyone was hooked on it. I didn't get it. I mean, I understood the concept, but what is the appeal of an absolutely random set of choices? There is no skill involved.

That said, except for Jeopardy, I don't like game shows. (And the other day, Jeopardy had a category: Lady looks like a dude. :D)

3 weeks ago I saw the shirt that Edmonds had on the night before on sale for £7 in George @Asda. True story.

[Planetary]

^ stylish.

they're usually those shirts that are like dark red, but have a silvery tint to them. haha.

sorry if i offended anyone there, but if you hav one of those, throw it away...

shut your stinking mouth.

[voltanapricot]

I could upload the pic with tag showing from my phone but it's too late for you to remember. Mong.

[burbboi]

The show is allright. It has this sense of urgency that drives me slightly mad whenever I watch it. I don't really dig Howie Mandel. I think the guy is a chump.

[roosta]

the UK version is presented by a television demi-god.

[ToucanSpam]

theres a computer version of this game on www.addictinggames.com


I like the show, but I dont really like Howie Mandel very much.

[Freebasser]

It's pretty shit.

I hate the way people on it go on about "playing the game" and that they "have a gameplan".

It's all fucking chance, you fuckin' morons!

[ToucanSpam]

Get your gameface on Freebasser, you're next on Deal or No Deal!!!


*applauds*

[Freebasser]

ME? REALLY?! I'M SO HAPPY!

*pulls best 'I hope this gets me a job as a presenter' face*

[instigator7022]

When I watch it, I usually enjoy it.(y) People should really think about their families though, and whether or not you really want to be seen with them on national TV.


Definitely As soon as i got an offer for like 20,000 or over i'd go for it because i know i would have the penny in the suitcase next to me

[Echewta]

The find the lamest people, which isn't hard to do in this country, to play the game. Probably because you have to have zero brain power to play it.

Congrats Echewta!!! You're the next contestant on Deal or No Deal!!!

[Echewta]

I crould do it.

[mickill]

The wife watches and loves it. I watch it with her, but only to rate the models.

[ToucanSpam]

What's with the whores they get to carry the briefcases? Is that supposed to make the show sexy?

you getter gayer ever post.

[ToucanSpam]

you getter gayer ever post.
Are you going to qualify that or just make some lame burn attempt that could have been handled by someone like synch?

[mickill]

Yeah, they're just total whores. The nerve, man. I mean, they probably even give the audience members handjobs during the commercial breaks and everything.

[roosta]

there's no whores on the brit version...its old school grimey tho


and toucan, i cant find that game! please point me towards it!

[ToucanSpam]

Strange, it looks like they deleted it off of the site...it must be somewhere else though, I'll keep looking.

EDIT: found it. http://www.killsometime.com/games/Game.asp?ID=438

[tracky]

we get this, it's like a big scratchy ticket on tv. i kinda like it when i'm drunk enough

[DIGI]

I say Howie Mandel should do the show in Bobby's voice from "Bobby's World." That would kick ass. The whole "banker" thing is so fucking lame. Except when they had this jag from NYC with a thick-ass accent say "tell dat guiy to get dun here and say dat to my face!!!!"

[jackrock]

that shit's the shit
very addicting

(bobby's world ftw)

I have only watched it twice.

In one of the episodes a man was offered $210,000. His young boy and small girl were crying take the money daddy! Take it daddy! They were almost crying yet he turned down this offer after saying---that is almost 10 times what I make in a year. He quickly went down a slope of shame as his kids looked on in painful anguish. It is great for kids to stand on stage and watch their struggling parents squander $. They will probably grow up to be degenerate gamblers in Las Vegas and hooking on the corner at night so they can have $ for the slot machines.

The only recommendation I have for the show is----instead of the models opening the briefcases they should drop their dresses to reveal the $ amount pasted on their fake tits.

Oh, I forgot to say the Howie Mandel is a douche.

Ok, then I'm down like a clown to be a participant on this show. (y)

(y) That is about the most accurate desciption of the show I've read yet. Yep, it's a mighty fine motherfuckin' TV show. Watched it again tonight, can't change the channel.

well you either have to be an idiot or really unlucky to not win a least a few grand on that show.

i find the australian host to be very cheesy and cliche. he's so bad that he's good. and its nice light entertainment for when you get home from work (y)

[vickista]

andrew o'keefe is a wanker, shows not bad though.

[enree erzweglle]

I figure the measure of a game show is whether, after an episode, you can discuss various strategies of the players. With a show like this, what can you say after the fact? "I can't believe he didn't choose the suitcase to the RIGHT of the one that he DID choose. :rolleyes:"

You can sort of do the same thing with a pop-o-matic and you don't have to be annoyed by Howie Mandel. :)

[discopants]

I'll be here tomorrow, I think you will be too.
Go on Edmonds ya presenting beast.

[Planetary]

NOEL EDMONDS IS A PRICK!

[roosta]

NOEL EDMONDS IS A PRICK!

no, he's professional, quick-witted and a fashion genius.

poor lucy..love of my life, had an awful game...after waiting so long.


i will miss her.

[Documad]

It's pretty shit.

I hate the way people on it go on about "playing the game" and that they "have a gameplan".

It's all fucking chance, you fuckin' morons!
:)

I've caught the last few minutes of the US version a few times. It must be on before another show I watch? I can't understand watching a game show where there's no skill or intelligence involved.
