Deal or No Deal?

[Vicam]

Just curious if this show is being shown in the UK or other parts of the world? I really enjoy it...it's a game show kinda like Who Wants to be a Millionaire in the sense that it just popped up out of nowhere ran for a week straight and now runs 2 to 3 nights a week. Howie Mandell hosts it Anyways, tonight I was watching it and it was described as the "show that is sweeping the world" or something in that vein, so I was curious. I know it's shown in the US and Canada...anyone else seen or heard of it?

Well, you'd definately get it where you are...you might want to think about checking it out! It's quite enjoyable. Basically there are 26 cases (like mini-suitcases) brought out onto a stage by 26 models...and each case has an amount of money starting at $0.01 and going all the way up to $1,000,000. The contestant chooses a case and then has to open 6 of the other cases revealing what's in them to try and get a better idea of what's in his/her case. After opening 6 cases, the "banker" makes the contestant an offer to sell his/her case back to the game without knowing what is in it. The more small numbers the contestant opens, the higher the bank offer goes. It's quite fun (and tense) but I've been enjoying it.

We have it here in the UK, hosted by Noel Edmonds on Channel 4 at 4.00 (or 4.30 pm) every night and 7.00 pm on a Saturday.

I am hooked! *It's a game of chance, no questions except one - Deal or No Deal.

22 boxes for the person to choose from with prices ranging from 1p to £250,000

After 3 box choices "the banker" comes on the phone and makes the person in the seat an offer for his/her particular box, she can either accept or decline the offer - Deal or No Deal.

Last week there was a woman on a role, but she was a pensioner and accepted an offer from the banker of £18,500 - her box actually contained the £5,000

But it was a gamble between having £5,000 and £250,000 so as she had the £5,000 in her box she got a good deal with £18,500

I did see someone at one point *with the £250,000 in the box, but she had accepted £50,000. *Last night a lady turned down £14,500 from the banker and had only £1 in hers, so it's a game of chance. *She went away with £1.

I am hooked on the game, but can only see it on a Saturday when I am in work.

Laura, it is on in the States - not sure about Calif. but definitely in Florida, I saw it one night as we were watching before we went out.

I guess the stakes are a bit higher for the US version (plus I love Howie Mandell...he's so funny)...the guy tonight took a deal of $126,000 and it turned out his case had $750,000!!! Ouch! But then again, I've seen people go away with as little as $5 which is always hard to watch. I wonder if you'll get the US version at all over there because it's really new here and I think they're trying to expand it. I always get a kick out of watching Howie because he apparently has very severe OCD so if you watch how he deals with the contestants (won't ever shake their hands for example) it's quite interesting.

I've watched it a few times and I think it's quite good. I felt sorry for the woman who had been on since the first episode and went away with £1!

Yes tonight's was very gripping!!! I am so glad he chose to go with the £7,000 THough I think the banker could have offered him at least £10,000!

What a swap for £750, I was hoping it would be that rather than the £35,000 that was in the other box. Two nights on the run with low pay out, good to see someone got a decent amount.

Have any of you tried to ring in for the viewers' money? I have tried a couple of times and always get Noel saying I haven't been successful! ;D ;D
