I'm sure it pisses off my doctor though I've already got high blood pressure I think deal or no deal has killed about 20 OAP’s already

It's not that good. I sit there bored for most of it, only rousing myself to cry 'Ahhhhh, wanker' at the screen when one of the big 3 goes.

But the contestants are so stupid. It's a game of chance...morons!

But the contestants are so f*cking stupid. There is no way picking their dead mother's favourite goldfish's long lost brother's date of purchase is going to help them. Jesus, it's a game of chance...morons!!! :mad:
I hate the way they seem to think they deserve the money. They don't. They always get greedy - when it's going well, they keep going because they think they'll win loads, and if it's going crap, they keep going because they think it'll get better. That's two completely opposite views on the whole game, yet you just know that that's what every contestant is going to do.

If I went on, I'd sort out an order of boxes before using a random number generator, and have a specific amount of money to aim for. Probably about £15000.

<snippety snip snip>

I'd say "yeah...I'll just take my box, if you don't mind" and leave; I'd do this right at the beginning, of course--just to force Channel4 into panic programme scheduling (seems to involve rather jolly jazz music on occasion).

Simple - there are 22 boxes, each worth a specific amount of money. There are also 22 contestants, and they have one box each. The one contestant who plays each day is chosen at random, and must eliminate other boxes (and therefore amounts of money) in order to win a cash prize. At various stages of the game the 'Banker' phones and offers an amount of money to the contestant for his/her box. This offer will vary depending on what amounts of money are left in the boxes yet to be eliminated - if there are many high amounts left, the offer will be quite high. The contestant is asked if they want to 'deal' at that amount (ie. take the money offered by the banker) or play on.

You ought to see the US copy of the game. The money is ridiculously large. So the contestants get REALLY excited

The top prize goes from 1 million up. Tonight will be a record top prize of $5,000,000.00.


Oh yeah, basketball the focus of this thread before it got interesting.......football is a game of inches and basketball is a game of freaks.;)

Close. He's a carpenter/bad show host. And having him is a bad thing as well :p

Noel Edmonds is the bane of my life. They need to get Mr. Blobby to host deal or no deal.

No no no. It should be Pat Sharp, but he has to grow the mullet back first.

We have this idiot presenting it in Aus.

He's a smug wanker who's totally in love with himself. The show itself is ok, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it.

As to the original topic of the thread, I have no idea who those two people are. I'm assuming they're American sports stars.

Not a great picture, but you can tell from the slightly raised eyebrow and the dipped head that he's a smug wanker.
