i can see your point! but i just think that there are greedy people vs non greedy ... i would just be happy standing up there in fame for 1hr, winning ANY kind of money.. and for me.. 25,000 is alot.. i would never be stupid and risk a great amount of money...but thats just me.. Chat Icon
i would also pick the people to be there with me, that wont drive me into saying "no deal" i want them to support me and play smart! you have to pick the right people!!



Yes, 25k is a lot, but 100k is a lot more, and 200k is even more..... when you have that opportunity, I can see how it's hard to walk away from more money.

Often, saying "no deal" IS the smart answer. I play very mathematically, and there is a point when it makes sense, mathematically, to keep going, and a point when it doesn't make sense. Unfortunately, people let emotion and excitement get the better of them, and just see the dollar signs, and forget about logic.

yes, i totally agree... to a certain point , you have to know when to stop.. like if you have nothing to fall back on.. thats where it gets ridiculous.. but i still watch the show..lol
i love howie!!

It was a repeat.

The thing is she DID pick a very good person, one of her friends/sorority sisters was a former contestant on the show and kept telling her to TAKE the deal!!!!!!! This woman went home with a lot of $$ when she was on so you know she knew what she was doing!!

I couldn't believe it when her case only had the $1,000 but then it's $1,000 more than she walked in with so I don't feel too bad for her!!

Re: Did anyone just see Deal or No Deal??

The cynic in me says that the show is totally bogus. I feel the "contestants" are paid actors and the show is a sham. There was an interview with Howie Mandell wayyyy before the show started and he had mentioned that he was going to be hosting a show that's gonna "punk" all it's viewers. I think this is the one. It is wayyy too scripted and sooooo cheesy that I really can't believe it is "real".
