deal or no deal contestants

[flitty]

IF ITS RANDOMLY PICKED WHO GOES ONTO DEAL OR NO DEAL EACH DAY HOW COME THEIR RELATIVES ARE ALWAYS IN THE AUDIENCE WHEN THEY GO ON. sURELY THEY CANT BE PUT UP IN THE HOTEL AS WELL.

From what I have seen there are a bunch of people who work together and out of them one is picked for the programme. I notice that when the contestant asks to open their box they say something like I'm going to miss you, so that is their last day with the team. The audience will be the ones who are with those bunch of people. I am only guessing here but have watched a lot of programmes Flitty.

The players for each week are selected on Monday and confirmed in threes each weekday morning.

Three prgrammes are recorded each day except Saturday. They are usually broadcast about two months later.

i worked with a lady who's daughter was a contestant, when they first go onto the show they are all at the same hotel and they are given their game day well in advance, their family then are given limited tickets to attend the live recording. the families are not allowed to reveal the winning amount to anyone or the winning contestant loses the prize and their game is not broardcast

And, why do the audience all wear black?

[sir.prize]

Here's one explanation found online
Audiences dress in black for two reasons, one it doesnt detract from the player and Noel, and secondly it means you dont wear anything that might "strobe" (when clothes appear to flash or wobble) on camera and some clothes with stripes etc do.

The audience wearing black is nothing to do with 'strobing'. If that were the reason then all tv shows with an audience would also wear black. They wear black, at the request of the producer, to be unobtrusive.
