The daily Deal or No Deal finally has a start date. Now you'll be able to fantasize about Howie Mandell's glowing dome of flesh five days a week as Deal or No Deal begins it's syndication run September 8th. And whereas Regis Philbin was far too busy during the week being all over our televisions to host the syndicated version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Howie's schedule isn't nearly as dense. In fact, now he can set up a cot right there in the studio. Get himself a mini-fridge and a germ-free bubble to unwind in and he'll be good to go.Since syndication isn't worth as much as prime time (why do you think there's no million dollar prizes on the regular The Price is Right), the top prize is being reduced to $500,000. But, they're adding an interactive element so that home viewers can cash in on the fun, too. Now you can get paid for sitting at home in your soiled underbritches screaming "Number 7! Number 7!" just because that model has the nicest cans. But, hey! I agree with your logic on that. I want to see her fumble with the latches, too. I mean ... wait ... what were we talking about?

Oh come on, don't you think you're being a bit marrow-minded here? I mean most of the models have pretty faces and nice legs too.
And really, were I to ever find myself as a contestant, my strategy would be not not pick the most atractive models. I'd want the most attractive ones (to my taste anyway) to remain on the stage as long as possible. As soon as you pick the hot one, she open the case then leavesthe stage. That's just not right. DOND producers, you needto fix this flaw in your show!

I agree. They should offer the contestant a lifeline to switch models in case you really want a briefcase but you also want to keep that model on the stage for awhile.

They should just cancel the show because it is the lamest, most useless, brain dead show show in the history of TV.

Oreo, you couldn't be more wrong. There really is strategy to the show, you just have to know when to take the deal. I did an entire scholarly paper on it and developed a strategy that works for big bucks.
