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.
Hubby likes that show. Helen

I agree
ReplyDeleteFar 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...
ReplyDeleteAre 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
ReplyDeleteI happened upon your journal by doing some journal jumping (like tv surfing).
ReplyDeleteI'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!
