My New Obsession: Deal or No Deal

Ok, rarely does a show come across my grid that inspires me to make sure I am sitting at the boob tube at the correct time. Deal or No Deal has to be one of the greatest shows to come around in a long time. They show has this great sensiblity behind it that grips contestants and viewers alike. There are not many shows that put you in the game like DND.

The game is greed based and peels the layers of human nature and the power of suggestion. Watch this game and see what I mean.
Contestants choose among 26 briefcases, each
held by identically dressed beautiful women, filled with varying
amounts of money.
“The game requires no more skill than playing a slot machine or roulette
- but Las Vegas was built on precisely that sort of mindlessly
compelling game of chance. What makes “Deal or No Deal” watchable is
its very simplicity.
It is about risking too much and losing what you have by wanting more.
