1. Yes. That show is Americana at its finest.
You just hate America, that's all.

27. I think it first appeared in the Netherlands around 2002.
Then the Brits copied it and we copied them. They might play it differently, I don't know. Me, I would get out after hitting 100K. Almost everyone gets to that amount... And that is a lot of lap-dances. j/k about the L/D thing.

Dear God, Joe America, take the $85,000. Don't be a greedy asshole.

5. That show makes me insane.
People are being offered over 100K and then throw it away and go for more. Crazy.

6. Hate it!
I suppose if I were a teenage boy I'd watch for the T&A factor... but no, it's worthless. Not even good enough to call fluff, imho.

14. I hate most of the tv shows nowadays.
But yeah, I hate that one too. It took me forever to place the host - Howie Mandel? Didn't he used to do comedy?

19. I'd like to see some upgrades
Like if someone doesn't win over a thou, one of their family members can shoot them. Or some variation thereof.
If they hit the million, they get a blowjob right on the stage.
Just a couple thoughts.

I hardly ever watch it...when I do, most of the contestants are really loud/irritating, so I change it quickly....

25. Let me tell you about Deal or No Deal Canada and why I refuse to
Edited on Tue Feb-13-07 03:42 AM by QMPMom
watch it.

There is a girl where I work that is drop-dead gorgeous. She is probably about 6'0" tall, blonde hair and a figure that is perfect.

Absolutely Perfect.

If you searched for years, she'd be in your top 3 of people who would be perfect. She is a model and has done lots of local work. Enough to afford a BMW.

She auditioned for Deal or No Deal Canada to be one of the Suitcase Girls.

They told her she was too fat. Honest to Dog, they said she was too fat. Her thigh is about as big around as my ankle.

After that, I will not watch it.

26. I have killed Howie Mandel in my dreams. No, seriously. I've actually
had a dream where I broke his neck. And then I ran because I didn't want to get caught by the cops. I'm homicidal in my dreams...

29. It's a stupid game show
When you watch a game show such as "Jeopardy" or "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", where knowledge is critical, it's rather silly to watch some show where you have to guess how much money is in a suitcase.

30. I like it. But then I like Howie.
I don't care for the "Ladies please" bit but it's enjoyable thing for MrG and I to watch while we wait for CSI. We try to guess what the offer is going to be. We try to shout at the person to "take the DEAL!!!" I enjoy Jeopardy and trivia shows but this is fun to just sit and look at. :hi:

I just ignore it as much as possible.
