Deal or No Deal

[Lise]

Man, I'm addicted to this stupid game show. Have lost interest in the Amazing Race only to be replaced by this show. ARGH!!!

  Anyone here addicted to game shows?

[kitten]

I used to watch Jeopardy a lot, but now I don't turn on the TV except for early morning news.

[kingy]

amazing race is still better.

  have you watched the other new game show, 1 vs 100?

[Russ]

As sad as this sounds I dont watch much TV. Some news, discovery, a and e.. thats about it.

  So I dont really know much about the game shows you are talking about, to be serious, the only one I have heard of is deal or no deal.. that one has briefcases right?

     I tried to watch that. Too boring and I can't stand Bob Saget. Switched over the Jackie Chan's Legend of the Drunken Master instead.

  How sad is my life?!?!?!?

[Sportsdude]

LOL Lise, your life isn't anywhere near from being sad. Anyway what is the point of deal or no deal. lol.

[Raver]

Do you know why I can't stand Deal Or No Deal?

  Do you really want to know?

  I'll tell you...

    Right after this commercial break

  Russ, why is that sad? That is not a sad thing.

I used to really watch too much TV. Nowadays, I have been really great at turning the bloody thing off.

I hate all reality tv. Hate game shows. Really, besides movies (and the odd HNIC game), I really only watch a small amount of news.

North Americans need to turn their TV sets OFF!

Never seen the show. What's the general idea of it?

[Lise]

Well, it's simple, TB.

  Set amount of cases containing anywhere from 0.01 to a million dollars carried by gorgeous models.

You pick one case and you get to keep this case for the duration of the game.

First round, you open 6 cases.

As long as you don't open the high numbers, you stand a good chance of getting the million dollars.

The Banker in the room will offer you money for your case depending on the cases you open.

The higher the amount of money you open, the lower the money the Banker will offer you.

So it goes on and on, till you make a deal. Take the money or risk it for a chance of a million dollars.

  Quite the no brainer there and therein lies the fascination with the contestants.

More interesting to learn about why the watchers watch.

LISE you need to get yourself out of this immediatly, shows like these pulverize the mind with subliminal messages, before you know it your on some island acting like a slave for money and media.

  This is a big step for you right here, smoke a joint, put in a classic role playing game, that will get back to being a warrior.

  anyway i gotta go smoke a joint and finish playing CHRONO TRIGGER.

P.S. TV sucks but if you look hard enough you can find the feces-smeared gems in among the fragments of crumbling masonry and shattered human bone.
