That’s the first contestant who actually walked out of the studio just when the game ended, as if the party was over just like that after winning only $10. But that’s what happens when you push the envelope a little too far.

What an idiot. Well there’s another guy the Banker will add to his list of people he’s thankful for.
Nice touch turning out the lights though.

That was DEFINATELY the most painful episode ever. Even above the $5 winner, that was just so f’d up. Key stretegy for players, if you have an offer where one case is higher, and you got a big gap between the highest and the second highest case amounts, TAKE the freakin deal. Even if you have the $1,000,000 and the next highest is $400, take it.

Finally! Someone who is not trying to make the rest of their life off this game… Just playing to have some fun. If I was ever on there, I would have done the same thing… It would be one hell of a fun ride even if I only got a penny!

I would’ve hit the LFRB at $85K and shouted at the Arkansas redneck (sorry, gotta call ‘em like I see ‘em) to do same. Shouts were louder at $147K. When he eliminated 18, holding 500K and thus ending the party, my three-word resposnse was “told ya so”.

Talk about NBC spoiling it . . . what a waste of time to watch when you knew he goes down to 3 cases, and for all intents and purposes, there was little doubt when he picked the next one, it would be $500,000.
Thanks NBC, appreciate it.

Oh yeah, good point Ryan. NBC really needs to fire the tease writers and editors.

Sorry, abric. That wasn’t gutsy, that was dumb. Susan, you and Kim have my sympathies.
One case game, three cases remaining, decent offer … HORRID DECISION TO ‘NO DEAL’, especially when Marisa’s still standing. This season she’s held a power block amount 38% of the time, way above average (BTW: so has Ursula). That’s more times than anyone else.
Sure enough, he picks her…and “BOOM!” goes the dynamite. At least he was man enough to give her a hug and take his medicine.

There’s an expression I want to throw out now, “more guts than brains” when offered $147K the guy only had a 1 out of 3 chance (33.3%) of winning $500K no reason to gamble there, if you invest it propperly and everyhting $147,000 for last for years.
DoND is basically a game of odds, when the odds are with you you usually should deal.
Ryan

You can call it stupidit or guts . . . but the fact of this game remains the same - if you don’t have guts you most likely will never get a crack at the top prize. Unless you are lucky enough to leave the $750K and $1M up there at the end, most risks are going to have to be gutsy.
I always watch it and think of how silly some players are, then again, hats off because without the fortitude to go on, they will never win the big one. I suppose there are factors that come it to it such as greed and financial stability.
For me, I woul dnever have won as much as some other players do, because I would be dealing at roughly the $130,000 mark no matter what, that is just me.

As far as the numbers go, his best offer based on the average percentage (a stat I made up which is basically the offer divided by the average amounts was when he had the $147,000 that was 118% of what the average should have been compared to 78 % when he had an offer of $218,000. However without my computer I too probably would have gotten out when the $750,000 was found just to go out with something

Shame to see the guy walk out with $10. But he had a lot of fun nonetheless. The “models’ couch was a nice touch.

You’ve got to give credit for one thing to the guy. He actually accepted it, like he knew it was a possibility — not like most of these idiots who righteously say no deal and then knock out the million dollars or whatever, acting like they never thought that would happen. At least this guy seemed to know the risk and accepted the loss when he picked the wrong case.

I’m in agreement with the majority, except one thing. When Brooks had $218,000 to consider, I was yelling “DEAL! DEAL NOW!!” Early? Yes, but he had way too many big numbers. To quoute somebody from another DOND board, if you get a huge offer, you MUST be very certain you have a super amount or you get out. He didn’t and it was a very short time before he saw all the super amounts come crasing off the board.
I would feel differently if he had wiped out the left side and was actually going home a big winner, no matter what. But he was bad shape, and once he refused the $218K, I cringed that his game will quickly go downhill.

Hi everyone. I’m Brooks Leach and here are my thoughts.
WHAT A SHOW!! I had the time of my life and it cost me $147,000 to experience what I’m going through right now, but who gives RAT’S ASS?!
The show is about picking one case and going with it. ONLY THE GREEDY PEOPLE SELL OUT OR “TAKE THE DEAL”. I was trying to win the game. Everyone is mouthing my decision and I’m sure I’d be the HERO instead of the goat if 17 had $500,000 in it.
That decision will make me money in the long run. Think about it….
I love you all,
Brooks Leach
Mt Vernon’s finest!

A few things…
Joe Capitano has seemed logical to me previously but when he tries to make a causal link between Marisa’s past case amounts, and what she might have in her case this time, he’s lost me. Each game is an INDEPENDENT event and whatever she might have had in her case before has no relation to what will be in it the next time.
And regarding Mr. Leach’s post up above, just shut up. You were greedy, you lost, and a small part of America is going to be mocking you for a short while. After that, you’ll be vaguely remembered as “The guy who lost badly on Deal or No Deal” to a diminishing number of people who will actually care.

Please don’t talk like that to people. He had different objectives and goals which people didn’t agree with. There’s no reason to get snippy.

It’s your ballpark, I’m just in the stands watching the game.
I just wonder who else agrees with me, though.

I think what Joe said made complete sense. I believe when he said Marisa and Ursula have been holding “a power block”, it means the contents of their respective cases usually decide the fate of a game.
As for Brooks’ comment, I emphatically disagree.

Just shut up? What?
There are many reasons as to why someone will try to go for the big money. Yes, greed can be a factor, but it isn’t the only factor. Financial stability may be a factor. What if the contestant really isn’t in dire needs of some big coin, lives a comfortable life and wants to try and go for it?
The fact of the matter is this, in this show - you have to have guts if you want to win the big one, plain and simple. In hindsight, if may not be the best decision, but that is hindsight, always perfect. What *IF* he didn’t pick the $500,000 case and picked another one and drove up the offer? All of the sudden “America” is cheering him on. And no offense, but what the hell does he care what others think of him.
He may not have been the biggest winner, and he may not be remembered for that, but he will be remembered for going for it, and for having the ladies sit with him on the couch! Myself, I’ll remember him before I remember somone who took the deal at $130K.
To each their own . . . it’s that simple.

Brooks,
My very best friend and I watched the show and we want you to know we really were hoping you would go all the way. You seem like such a great guy and you have such a great personality. My best friend really would love to meet and talk to you. She has even been trying to find out how to contact you. Is there any way she can talk to you?

Brooks,
My name is Pat and I am from Texas. You stated on the show that you were tired of sleeping with your doberman. Well I have a wienie dog that I sleep with. The nose gets cold sometimes doesn’t it. I am Lori’s friend from the previous e-mail. You are absolutely adorable. You don’t have to worry about me coming after your money, because you only won $10. I would love the opportunity to chat with you and enjoy your sense of humor. Waiting to hear from you.

I watched the show with great interest. I was astounded that Brooks made such a fool of himself. He was probably thinking ahead about how NBC would offer him his own show, called “Partydog” no doubt. He would marry one of the models from Deal or No Deal, and become a legend. Instead, he left with $10. LOL

Actually, I watched Brooks on the show, and I was struck at how much I was reminded of Junior Samples from the old Hee Haw tv show. I think Brooks would be an excellent choice to play the lead if they ever make a movie called “The Junior Samples Story.”
Brooks might also consider becoming a professional wrestler. Of course, there is always the danger that Brooks might become the first wrestler in history to pin himself.

There is no reason why Mr. Leach should have to be empty handed. I am an attorney who represents the interests of disabled people, and I believe that Brooks’ sister may want to file a lawsuit on his behalf.
I have spoken with several of my associates who saw the show, and they all agree with me that Brooks is obviously mentally retarded. The lawsuit could charge the producers of “Deal or No Deal” with exploiting Mr. Leach’s limited mental capacity.
Brooks sister could testify that Brooks believed that he would be given the $1million just for appearing on the show, and that after the show ended, he became upset and confused, and began sobbing and wetting himself in the studio.
In court, Brooks’ sister would have to produce a pair of Brooks’ oversized, urine-stained underwear, but that should pose no problem, as she probably has several pair available.
Anyway, the lawsuit is something that she should consider, in my professional opinon.

BuzzerBlog » Blog Archive » “Deal or No Deal” Episode 100 to Air on May 6th
33April 19th, 2007 at 10:54 am
[...] It’s amusing to me that a primetime show that’s only been on the air for about a year and a half can have 100 episodes done already. Regardless, the show that started a new craze in game shows today, Deal or No Deal, will celebrate it’s 100th episode on Sunday, May 6th, at 9PM ET. The set will be covered in party decorations, plus there will be a few surprises. Want a sneak peak at one of the surprises? Look under the break to see who or what’s coming back. Yes, this is former contestant Brooks Leach. You can read about his legendary game here and even see what he had to say about it. Until we get a press release, we’re seeing a lot of pictures of him, and it looks like Deal or No Deal invited him to play on the 100th episode. [...]
