KRC Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Is anyone going to watch this? It seems like a waste of a good evening. 614147[/snapback] I watched it for about 5 minutes. That was more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 It's okay, but there was an article I saw somewhere that they refered to it as a "game show for the low-iq" types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Apparently the only requirement of being a contestant is that you must possess absolutely no mathematical ability whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRC Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 you mean lower than Wheel of Fortune? 614192[/snapback] Wheel of Fortune is much more difficult. You need to know your letters and be able to spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I watched half of an episode the last time it was on a month ago or whatever.....I thought it was pretty boring, but at the same time I'd love to go on there. Talk about easy money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 you mean lower than Wheel of Fortune? 614192[/snapback] Read KRC's response for what I would have said. In the meantime, you can play it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I had it on last night while I was doing other stuff. Was kinda dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Avenger Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 This is the ultimate show for Tivo! Seriously, you don't need to hear it at all - all you need to do is see what case the person took, what subsequent cases he/she selected, what values are still on the board, what offer the banker is making and whether the person takes the deal. So... You can actually watch the entire show at triple fast forward speed on Tivo! Try it - you can watch the entire hour show in about 6 minutes! When you don't have time for commercials OR a TV show, this Tivo and Deal or No Deal is for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a yawner so maybe we'll try your method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the show is Howie Mandel asking "what case do you want", "that's the banker calling", etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I saw the show once late last year. All the models walking in with the money was the highlight. After that, you can turn it off. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 What's the whole objective to winning? Is it like the show "Greed" a couple years ago, except in a different format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it like the show "Greed" a couple year ago, except in a different format? 614431[/snapback] Well at least Greed had trivia and team dynamics.....this show is mostly mindless. If you understand the concept of odds, you can win money - with very little risk of walking away with nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I remember is "expected value." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'm currently watching a women gamble what she just admitted is 3 times her annual salary on what is statistically worse than a coin toss. At least millionaire required a brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to have like a whammy thing in one of the boxes or something just to make it interesting. At least they had a SWAT officer win yesterday.....that was good.
