My Review

Today, I am writing a review of the TV show Deal or No Deal. For those of you who are unacquainted with this program, Deal or No Deal is a show where contestants play for a potential top prize of $1 million. It is a contest of nerves, intuition, and risk. Each night, a contestant is faced with 26 cases which contain varying amounts of cash - ranging from a measly penny to the very desirable $1 000 000. The contestant, without knowing how much is in each case, randomly selects one in the hope that their case holds the million dollars. This is when the game really begins. The contestant must open a predetermined number of cases, after which time the mysterious Banker will offer to buy their case. The amount he offers them is based on the values of the cases that they have opened. Contestants can either take his offer (Deal) or test their luck by continuing on to the next round (No Deal). If they say "Deal", the game is over and they get to see how they would have done had they continued. If they say "No Deal", they have to open more cases before receiving another offer. The goal of the game is obviously to win the million dollars. This can be done either by choosing the million dollar case or by switching cases at the very end of the game.

Now I will give my honest review of the show. Deal or No Deal is very exciting and nerve-wracking. Like most game shows, Deal or No Deal is a family friendly program. If you enjoy games such as poker, you might find this program somewhat entertaining. However, as a game show, its prospects are rather limited. I would only recommend it if you prefer game shows; however, if you are intrigued by Deal or No Deal, you are certainly free to watch it. For those of you who would like to watch Deal or No Deal, look for it on NBC during prime time.
