The "Deal or No Deal" Craze

CNBC is a great channel for one reason…they show reruns of “guilty pleasure” programs, especially Deal or No Deal. I would venture to say that there is not one person in the United States who has not seen at least one episode. Ok, there may be a handful of individuals, most likely poor people who don’t own a TV, and have not experienced the beauty and genius of this show. I will sympathize with these non-viewers because it is assumed that they are trying to figure out how they will find the money to feed their family rather than about whether someone is going to win the million dollars.


Why does Deal or No Deal attract such a vast fan base? One reason. The man, the myth, the legend, simply known as Howie Mandel. If anyone knows anything about Howie’s previous jobs and accomplishments, they would know that he was the creator of the early 1990’s hit cartoon show, Bobby’s World. Bobby’s World is a perfect example of a show that was so bad, it was actually good. In addition, Howie was and still is a stand-up comedian. Despite his previous successes, there is one major difference between the “Howie of Then” and the “Howie of Now”…his appearance.

Look at the “Howie of Then” with those curly brown locks and that charming smile. What is there not to like? Well first, he looks like a child. Second, is the way he holds his hands out and palms up (“jazz hands”). Lastly, the clothes he is wearing don’t match (I am not into fashion at all, but at least I know what colors go well together…sometimes). Don’t get me wrong, I love Howie, especially because he is Jewish and so am I, but I am just pointing out the things that probably forced him to make a transformation from geeky Jew to rugged Jew. Now look at the “Howie of Now.” He utilizes the bald “Mr. Clean” look while adding a touch of masculinity with his v-shaped soul patch above his chin. The silver hoop earring = Bad Ass. Most importantly though is the way in which Howie now surrounds himself by gorgeous models instead of staying behind the scenes making cartoons.

Anyway, I assume that since everyone has seen the show, I don’t need to go through a play by play of the rules and regulations. I do, however, want to express my feelings in regards to many of the contestants. Ok let’s take the episode I just watched on CNBC as a perfect example of greed and stupidity. The chosen participant, we will call her “Wendy”, comes running onto stage, crying and jumping all over Howie, who looks like he is ready to sprint offstage and scrub himself clean with Ajax and a brillow pad (he happens to be a self-admitted germaphobe). Then in all seriousness, Wendy, like every other person, says that she will win the million dollars. I am not even sure whether anyone has won the million dollars since the show first began airing, so why now would it happen for her. Ok, so fast forward several rounds and Wendy now has one six figure amount remaining, four cases left to choose from and is being offered over 100,000 dollars by the banker. Any rational person would take the deal and go home, but Wendy does not. I swear when I looked closer at the TV, I could see the words “greedy bitch” in her eyes. She picks a case, it contains the last big amount, and she falls to the ground crying. This couldn't get any funnier. I am not insensitive. I just feel that she deserved to get screwed over because she was being stupid and selfish. In the end Wendy walked away with something like a few hundred dollars. Wendy is just one of many Deal or No Deal contestants who have made foolish decisions and ended up losing it all. Next subject.

The Deal or No Deal girls. Not much to say except that they are all scorching hot. Even the least pretty of the bunch is no less than an 8 on the 1-10 rating scale, with 1 being so ugly a paper bag is needed to cover her head and 10 being flawless in every aspect (face, legs, ass, boobs, hair), basically a human goddess. The models on this show are between 8.5’s and 9.5’s, and have been the subject of my fantasies many a times.

Lastly, I want to give my personal advice to the creators of Deal or No Deal about how they can gain an even bigger audience:

1) have the models wear bikinis

2) instead of money amounts inside the cases, the models will have the numbers
written on their shirts and the money amounts written on their chests, which
they will have to reveal once the contestant chooses them (BOOBIES!)

3) if a male contestant wants to go on a date with one of the models, they both
are of or around the same age and both are single, by the laws of the Deal or
No Deal contract, the model must go on a date with him (sex is optional).

4) have Howie Mandel announce his plan to run for the president of the United
States while still hosting the show

By the way, the Deal or No Deal game on nbc.com is quite addictive. Check it out.
