Deal or No Deal

[BertiWooster]

I dont watch this very often - however i watched an episode earlier where a lady ( spanish I think she was ) went all the way to open her box , even though she had a very good offer towards the end

Everyone in the studio by their reactions felt sorry for her - Why ?

Do you think that some people who appear on this show , are just too greedy ?

[237SJ]

Sorry. When you said a lady went all the way to open her box I wondered what kind of programme you were watching!

[boxtops]

I can't see the point of this programme, it's luck of the draw each time, there is no talent in it at all that I can see.

[boxtops]

LOL ^!

[supersuezy24]

How much was in her box Berti? I do think some of the contestants get greedy but some contestants that do be on sometimes deal on an amount that covers what they need

[BertiWooster]

I cant remember exactly - but it was a low value blue .

She was offered around 17k near the end .

Apparently she is getting married soon - her fiance was in the audience - you could tell by the look on his face that the journey back home was likely to be a silent one

[askyourgran]

I don't like the programme, I cannot believe that everyone feels kindly towards the person who has been chosen to win. It's all the Americanisation, the huggy feelyness
that strikes me as being insincere.

[supersuezy24]

17k is a great offer, she should of taken it!!

[sadielady]

Only saw the last few minutes. She was left with £35.000 and either 10p or £10. She swopped her box and ended up with the lower amount. I do agree, I think some are very greedy and all they can see are the higher amounts

[cupid04]

what would you spend seventeen thousand pounds on?

[supersuezy24]

A holiday to Italy Cupid :)

[sadielady]

From the look on her boyfriends face he knew exactly what it would have been spent on!! I would have a holiday and put the rest to a much needed new car

[hippyhoppy]

Suzey - she had either £35 grand or 10p - swapped box and went home with 10p!!! Shame! (she had been offered a deal of £10 grand and turned it down)...

[BertiWooster]

' you could tell by the look on his face that the journey back home was likely to be a silent one '

Puntuated by - why the heck didn't you deal at 17k , my dearest :-)

[supersuezy24]

The way I look at it is, you didn't have 17k before you went on the show so why would you turn your nose up at it when offered??

[puternut]

This program has been going for at least 5 years and has had just 2 quarter million winers n all that time!!!

About time this pure luck game was pensioned off

[poodicat]

Agree puternut,their is no skill invoved,just a matter of guessing what is in the boxes,it bores me...

[LoftyLottie]

I would probably take the first offer. I haven't got any gambling instinct whatsoever. I think it's a dreadful show by the way. As someone else says all the hugs and touchy feelyness - dreadful and no skills involved.

[poodicat]

Lottie do they make the audience dress in black?

[LoftyLottie]

I'm not with you poodi?

[poodicat]

When ever i have caught glimpses of this show at work,the audience all seem to be wearing dark clothes
