i wouldn’t be surprised if the offers were skewed low…

given how crappy OUR banker’s offers were last night, he’ll probably do it on this DOND as well.

If the right elements of the UK version carry over, you have a recipe for great success.

And with Howie as host and S&P actually doing something, you won’t be importing the two worst elements (massively varied offers and a manipulative host).

If the flashing lights are kept down and the pace is kept up, I could end up being horribly envious of your show.

Will they audition for the people who can be case models? I’ll love to be one if they do…

On the matter of the Mil. dollar case, they have said that 6 cases is the farthest they’re going.

On the matter of the Syndicated version, I am so happy. Maybe this version will actually be interesting again…faster gameplay, less cases, no models…Hrm…sounds like the UK version, which is better than our version. I’m definitely looking forward to it.

I think Deal or No Deal is going to stop at seven, which is the maximum number of large amounts on the board.

OMG for real? That would be freakin sweet if they follow the UK format. More challenging, more suspense, less cases.

I agree, if this turns out to be like the UK, it WILL save the Prime Time version.

And in my honest opinion on this Million $ Mission, they should have stopped at a max of 5 $1,000,000 caes. If you think about it, the more cases there are, the more difficult it will be to decide if youre down to 2 cases with one being the last million and the next case the next highest value cause in the next game, the next highest offer will be $75,000… then what, $50K $25K… TEN THOUSAND?

Hmmm… $10,000 vs. $1,000,000? What would Laura do? HEH HEH. You know if you think about it, if you were to multiply Lauras last two boxes by four, you would realize she was dealing with a $12,000 box and a $1,000,000 box. Then again the offer would just be $180,000. Just a little trivia. Heh heh.

That type of format for the syndicated DEAL OR NO DEAL would make alot of sense! It could also save the prime time DEAL OR NO DEAL on NBC.

22 cases. Yesss!!! If they follow the UK format, the first round would eliminate five cases (before the first offer), and each of the next five rounds would eliminate three cases, until there are two cases left.

As for the set, it wouldn’t surprise me if they recycle the ‘Vas o No Vas’ set for the syndicated Deal. From the clip I watched from Mike Klauss’ website, I really thought it was cool to see the Banker’s vault open with the “Banker’s Babe” giving the offers. Deal or No Deal is one of those rare game shows where you can watch any foreign version, and actually understand the game.

I think they might go the UK version route here-I’m just trying to figure out how they’re going to use three models (I’m thinking one is the “Banker’s Model” and will give the offers- but what about the other two?)
