my emotions kind of took hold there.

GO TO HELL! GO DIRECTLY TO HELL! DO NOT PASS “GO” OR ANYTHING ELSE! YOU STUPID ANTI-SOCIAL (every dirty name in the book)!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

As for Brooks’ comment, I emphatically disagree.

I just wonder who else agrees with me, though.

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.
