Deal or no Deal

Did anyone see the obnoxious woman on there today? She was annoying and greedy.

Gets offered £10k and says "Ten grand isn't enough". Ended up with £100 I think. Served her right.

Turns down every offer, dead cocky like, and then whinges when she lost the lot.

rufus diabolus · 18th April 2008, 22:22

No I didn't, but most of the cunts on there deserve to lose.

It's one of the worst shows on tv. I can't understand why anyone watches it.

Found it funny she was reduced to tears from her cocky approach earlier on in the game.

To be fair they do still broadcast Antiques Road Show.

But it is a shockingly poor show. I like the way everyone pretends there is some sort of skill to it. They may as-well just pick a random fucking box, and then just open it. Save me having to watch Barbera break down after picking the £250,000 box follwed by the £100,000 box. Its pathetic.

So which gameshows are better?

It is what it is, a gameshow. At least they personalise it and make everyone there actually care about it, whether you do or not.

One of the worst game shows ever.

Pretty much any of them. There is no skill whatsoever, just picking random boxes. All this shite about having a "system" is pathetic and the way all the other contestants and Noel Edmonds pretend to care is really annoying and patronising. And don't get me started on the banker.

1871_Biscuit · 19th April 2008, 00:18

The other day they had some man, who couldn't walk, how blatantly emotive was that supposed to be. It made me turn off, cringe worthy.

Who says its about skill? Why does it have to be about skill? You pick a random box and either its good or bad. You make a deal when you think your luck has run out. Thats it.

The people likely do care as they have to spend so long together.

And its a bit like picking lottery numbers. Some people say they have a system, some of them have won money, but ultimately its pot luck

Alternatively, a man who couldnt walk wanted to play and won some money. Good on him.

Every moron has a 'system' or 'lucky numbers'.

I always wait for the moment when it always backfires in the most spectacular way possible

If you spend 26 weeks being someone opening a box for someone else, would you not plan some sort of system for your own game, even if your system is just to pick the boxes you feel will be luckiest for you on the day?

Steev · 19th April 2008, 01:08

It's utter bollocks. I wouldn't mind so much but it lasts 45 minutes, for fecks sake. All you've got to do is pick 20 numbers. The superstitious nonsense that goes on in this show is setting the human race back at least 2000 years. And Edmonds can fuck off with his cosmic-ordering bullshit. The flowery-shirted midget tosspot.

Nope, because I know any 'system' is as good as flipping a coin.

It's always the number intellectuals like accountants that will make a bold claim about a system, only to have egg on their faces at the end.

So... You aren't going to pick the boxes that you feel are going to be the best for you?

Even thats a system...

I know what you mean though, some people are just bat shit crazy with it, but everyone has some sort of system even if they don't chatter on about it.

MikeUpNorth · 19th April 2008, 11:26

They may as well just pick the boxes in order... 1...2...3... It makes no difference. Fair play to Noel though, if I spent my days surrounded by a studio full of total cunts I'd probably top myself. Yet he manages to stay smiling and spouting bullshit to keep them coming back for more.

GiggsysGirl · 19th April 2008, 16:59

I think I've said this before...fundamentally I think it's a good idea for a show. It's the contestants that make it unwatchable. All that cheering and whooping and chanting and acting like they've actually achieved something heroic by having an "all blue" round

"Give us a blue, Bob!"
"I'll try!"

HOW???

I agree - there's nothing wrong with the idea, but all this crap about believing what's in the box is really irritating. There's nothing skilful about any of it but the contestants behave like there's something magical and mystical about it. It's so irritating when they chant "blue" or when they ask everyone to believe...like the colours will somehow miraculously change

Anyway, all that aside, yesterday's prat was from Manchester - so if you're reading this, flower - you blew it and showed yourself up as a right cocky cow in the process.
