Did you even try looking at nbc.com? :lol:

Probably her... her last initial is "C"

Another model, Leyla, was featured on WWE shows earlier this year

I fell asleep watching last night's ep.

At least we are starting fresh with a new contestant tonight. ;)

DRG 12-22-05 03:23 PM

Sort of surprising given some of the reactions in here, but the ratings have steadily risen each night of this. I for one actually enjoy the show. Sure there's not much to it, but that's kind of the beauty of it for me. Sure it can drag on at times, but that's what a VCR/DVR is for. :)

Jadzia 12-22-05 03:58 PM

I have been enjoying it mainly because there's nothing else on besides repeats, and its perfect for brain-dead viewing in the evening when you want something you can have on in the background, while you are wrapping presents or doing your holiday baking. Or as Patman would say, folding clothes.

About Howie: Notice that he doesn't shake hands with anyone? He's supposedly a major germophobe. And that dubbing is extremely clumsy.

Goldberg74 12-22-05 09:03 PM

That lady from Texas was a cheerleader. You could totally tell!

Way to go Guillermo!

monkyskunk 12-22-05 09:09 PM

That's totally retarded he doesn't shake hands with anyone. That should be like prerequisite for being a game show host. As for the show it self, it can't be all that bad since it has in aired in 34 countries before coming to the US. For me it's like Who Want's To Be A Millionaire in how it doesn't get exciting until much later into the game when the big money is at stake.

Yes.

Goldberg74 12-22-05 09:31 PM

I miss the old Howie.

I couldn't believe it went on for an hour, how does anyone turn down so much money with so little? At any rate, I watched again last night and the guy took that $99K!

I wonder how long this strange show will last...not really

fumanstan 12-22-05 10:45 PM

I like watching this. I have it on in the background while I do other things on my computer. I wouldn't sit down and watch this solely though.

DRG 12-23-05 12:00 AM

How, didn't know that about Howie's germophobia, but huh...

I think they give people going on this show a 8th grade level math quiz. If they pass, they can't go on.

Nope, it never even occurred to me. For a one week "event", never imagined they'd have a site detailed enough to display the models on screen for a couple seconds an episode. Thanks though, looks like that answers that. The picture definitely looks like her, and the last name makes it almost definite. Hard to believe, she's got a pretty good job with HDNet. Can't imagine she'd be desperate enough to take this, but I guess money is money.

Scott27 12-23-05 10:39 AM

Looks like we got a much more boring version of this show than other countries have. I just saw this link discussing the Australian version on another board:

http://members.iinet.net.au/~powney/...nodeal2003.htm

That version is more about going against other contestants, and having to answer some questions (shocking!).

Charlie Goose 12-23-05 12:00 PM

Skipped it last night, but I'll probably watch tonight. I can imagine how nerve-wracking it is to have an unknown amount and trying to decide to take the big money offer or try for even bigger money. At least one of those cases should be filled with killer bees or diarrhea or something like that.

Unfortunately, I passed the 8th Grade Math Test with a 10/10. No Deal or No Deal for me. :sad:

Jadzia 12-23-05 12:38 PM

I "missed" last night's show, since Tivo decided to record a repeat of Everybody Hates Chris on my other tuner.

Could someone please recap what hapened? Any big money deals?

Goldberg74 12-23-05 01:23 PM

They started off with a new contestant, a 2nd grade teacher from Devine, TX that brought her mom, uncle/principal/pastor, her best friend and almost her entire class.

At one point she was offered $275,000 for her case (the most that has ever been offered by the Banker), she 'no deal'ed it and picked the $500,000 case so her next offer dropped to $269,000 and she took that deal with only 3(?) cases left. On a whim, Howie asked her what her next case would have been and she choose the one that $1M in it and then they revealed her case to have only $500 in it. Pretty good deal.

Then some lady named Venus took the stag and within 11 selection, removed most of the right hand column. Before Howie gave her her deal for the case (after offering/declining $9,000 the first go 'round) he said we'd find out tomorrow.

That's about it.

WHat happened to the last woman from Friday night? The one with the 3 sisters. I fell asleep after she cleared most of the right side.

She got it down to her case + one other, with $100k and $75k left. She declined a $85k and opened her case, which had $75k in it.

Patman 01-01-06 11:34 AM

My VCR happened to tape the school teacher episode, and though she had that nervous Molly Shannon energy (though much cuter, nice bod), I kept watching this show about landmines and money and the odds. Can't say I'll be back when it's back, though.

And yes, I was folding laundry when I watched my accidental Thursday night recording of it!

Sekots 02-27-06 07:36 PM

If anyone cares Deal or No Deal is back on again this week.

boogieman03 02-27-06 08:26 PM

Tonight's was the first episode I've ever seen. Man this game is kinda fun. The contestant got really lucky, was down to 2 cases, and both of those had 6 figures in them. The case that he chose at the beginning had (I think) 25 dollars. He sold that case for $350K+. Very fun game to watch.

Premise 02-27-06 10:39 PM

Never seen the show before,so I decided to check it out. It's a pretty fun show.
