We’re gonna have a boatload of videos for you this weekend, including a few clips from Wipeout Australia and Dutch Wheel of Fortune. We start you off with this one from Monday’s episode of Deal or No Deal, where a contestant has a shot at $100,000 during Halloween week.
This comes as a shock to no one really, but Broadcasting and Cable today confirmed that the syndicated version of Deal or No Deal has been canceled. That means no original episodes of the show will air next season. Deal…

And if the board were $.01 and $250,000, your suggestion would suck all the suspense from the final reveal. You have to let low winners air, because if there were no low winners, the show would fail even worse than the primetime ended up doing.

That is true Craig.

Well, dropzone5, that means they need 14 more before The Other Idiot Show gets a $500K winner :P. Lord knows if that'll ever happen, though.
Another thing I noticed that when Howie opened Xena's the Warrior Princess's case, he looked as if he didn't give a damn at all. I think he secretly wants off this island, and who can blame him? He's stuck with stupid contestants, and an audience that won't shut the hell up. You're spot-on with your points, though. I've seen the UK version, and some days, it's just as bad as this one, although some of their stat-mongering super-fans would disagree with me. The least they could do it refuse to air some shows (on either version) because of their outcome(s). I recall that in the first season of syndie DoND, they refused to air some shows because they were just so bad. They should have employed the same strategy here.

Not necessarily, I wanna sww how far I can go. Say I have the penny, $10K, $100K & $500K left on the board with an offer of say, $34K. There's a good chance I might pick off one of the higher ammounts first. That's why the offer's there to tempt me to take it or take my chances on the next pick. Besides, dealing on the first offer amounts to nothing more than outright heartless idiocracy. Has there EVER been a baiout on the first offer here? Not that I know of. I'm sure the show probably wouldn't wanna air something like that.

My last line was intended as a joke, but yeah, I don't exactly see them getting 14 more before that happens.
Well, I'm not a stat-mongering super-fan, but even some of the players who won 1p had some pretty tense games (Fadil, anyone? Sure, he came across arrogant, but to refuse the offer when there's 1p and 35K left?). And some of the low-winning games, like Trevor's (who, incidentally, also won 1p), don't completely fall apart until the very end. So the suspense is still there…even if they don't win much.
