Stupid Question about Deal or No Deal
I know this is a stupid question...but I have to prove my husband wrong, and I cant believe he even thinks this but he swears...
that everyone is so coordinated on Deal or No Deal that the show must dress the contestants and their family!! I can not believe that he thinks this show has a whole wardrobe but he isnt budging. Does anyone have inside knowledge on dress codes for this show?
He may be pulling my leg, but I am so frustrated that he thinks this and I cant get him to admit otherwise so I just gotta prove him wrong. Someone help with proof.

I have a feeling the show dresses them or at least tells them what kind of stuff to wear; there's no way that a group of friends and/or family would dress that colorfully and coordinated on their own.

I don't know. I've noticed on a few occasions the contestants are dressed according to Deal or No Deal's theme for the show. The ep. with the ex NFL players had the contestant and his family/friends dressed in NFL jerseys etc...

just seems like an added budget concern and headache for a game show for a one time appearance on a show. It's not like its a daytime soap or such. I dont know, I think its a stretch.

We'll let you play for a million bucks, but you have to wear these NFL shirts. I could see that happening.
And even if they have to buy a new outfit for each contestant/family, it's still probably cheaper to do an episode of DoND than an episode of House or something.

I know this is slightly off topic, but I just wanted to share my strategy, if I were ever on Deal or No Deal:
Get rid of the least-attractive women first.
I mean, it's all random, right? So why not first choose the cases that the least-appealing women are holding, and get them off the stage first? Keep going and going, and by the time you get to the end of the game, the hottest chicks are still up there. Might as well have the hottest ones up there the longest, you know?
That'd be my strategy, anyway. Is that weird?

Sorry, Magiccmom.
"Katie Henslin of Forest Lake enjoys watching the popular NBC game show Deal or No Deal but had never imagined that she would be a contestant vying for $1 million....
Exhausted from all the excitement of the past few days, the group hung out at the hotel in LA that night. The following morning on Feb. 7, they were whisked away to the studio where Henslin and all her supporters received full wardrobe, hair and make-up."

I'm not entirely surprised about that. Clothes manufacturers pay for clothes on TV shows all the time just for the free advertising. You don't think Letterman buys his ties, do you?

When I worked at a famous trashy talk show, we let guests wear their own clothes 90% of the time, but we did have a closet of things for the other 10%. It was funny to see the same clothes get used over and over.

I still believe that after the contestant takes the deal that they edit the rest of the show. When Howie asks "what WOULD you have picked?" it's ALWAYS small dollars and the offer goes WAY up to make the contestant feel bad until finally the big money is opened and the contestant is happy.
Most of the time at least, not always.

She said the contestants can bring their own clothes. BUT if the producers don't like what you're wearing, they have a wardrobe you will choose from.
So, in one sense, you're both correct.... but I would say YOU are the most correct.
