Deal or No Deal has got to be the silliest program on television.
And yet...
I watch it every chance I get. I love to see those simpletons defy the laws of logic and reason, and gamble away hundreds of thousands of dollars on a slim chance, one in twenty five, of winning a million dollars.
The producer gives them a bushel basket full of money, and they happily throw it away.
Last night the contestant had been given $110,000 and gambled it away. She ended with $1000.
Well, that is a thousand dollars she didn't have before the show started. That is a thousand dollars for playing a game for an hour. Not a bad reward.
But, oh, the thought that you threw away all that money on a the toss of a coin.
Oooh.

That's entertainment.

I agree
Far too many gamble it away to the end. I can only think it is the adrenaline rush. What else can it be?? I often think that I would get out on the show when the odds were right. I wonder, though... Hmmm... Hugs, Val xox

I surfed past this show last night and saw a couple dozen babes in bikinis...
Are you sure THAT doesn't have something to do with your fascination, Chuck?
Call me a sexist, but in my chauvinistic opinion, THAT'S entertainment!
Oh but it is so deliously addictive isn't it?? I find myself screaming Deal at the TV so often, then the poor soul had the million in his case...ohhh! Annie
I happened upon your journal by doing some journal jumping (like tv surfing).
I've watched this show a few times, and often wondered WHY do they keep going?
When I went to Las Vegas one time and won $700.00 from $20.00 - I left! I took my money and RAN!
