Last nights Deal or No Deal....
Discussion
Young Lady last night on Deal or No deal. Took one of the biggest gambles I've ever seen.
She had dealt on £17,500 earlier in the game.
She went on to uncover all the boxes except 1p and £250,000.
The banker offerred he the deal - give up the £17,500 to open the box, with a swap offered for the box she'd said all along was the one she really wanted.
She took his offer.
For some unknown reason she refused the swap.
She opened the box.
Takes a lot of bottle to make that kind of deal.
She won the big prize (only second time ever I think)
she was cute too...

And THAT is the actual point you were trying to make all along, wasn't it? ;-)That problem is a total crock anyway, there is no point to it, no skill needed whatsoever. All that crap they come out with "Oooh, I can FEEL this one's going to be lucky" ... do me a favour will ya!!
Was intruging the first few times but then it just gets totally pointless to watch.
Humph!

Shirley, if she dealt earlier in the game, then she didn't win the big prize?
the OP stated the the banker offered her the chance to give back the 17k and then choose the swap i.e. a second chance (or, in realistic speak a chance to increase the ratings and tension in the game because otherwise as soon as people have dealt the viewers turn over to see what else is now, whereas now they have to stay in case something more exciting happens).They have to keep adding new bits and bobs to keep it interesting.

Well played then to her.
That's what boils my piss over the whole thing...it wasn't well played at all. It was completely random. About as well played as the 'player' that won last week's lottery.I'm subjected to this when at my mother's house and they sit there and go on about it like they're playing chess. Open the box and they've won "Oh, that was well done, nicely played". Open the box and they've lost "Ah, stupid bint, she did that all wrong...what she should have done was take the deal".

This is a bizzare show.
They have managed to string out someone guessing numbers between 1 and whatever, to ~30 minutes of TV!
How, how did they do that ?
I also can't stand how Noel plays it up, "Every game is different..ooooh" and talking about strategies.
There are no strategies!!! You are guessing numbers. You are performing a task that could be performed by the most basic of automated computer programs.
People are morons!

I personally, am convinced that they are all actors employed to make it as dramatic as possible. You would think that if they were random members of the public that there would be a boring sh*te on every now and then.

Where's the risk? They come into the show with nothing, they are no worse off whatever they do. Now, if they had to match with their own money........
.....where's that Peter Bazelgletetetete?
Because they HAD 17.5k which they could keep if they did not take the deal/swap thing. SO they would be 17, 499.99p worse off if they open the 1p box......where's that Peter Bazelgletetetete?

Not just taking a wild gamble that's not based on anything other than random choice.
