I can't describe how this program makes me feel. It hurts my head just watching it. :mad:


Anyone else find it utter ridiculous and insane?
 
Oh yea...

"I'm gonna pick number 3 cause I've got a good feeeeeeeeeling and stacey is giving me good vibes tonight"

oh give over man, it's completely random >_<
 
Nope, find it funny generally. Sometimes it has some lovely women on it also.
 
I love it, mindlessly awful, but I love it, I always watch it over dinner

oh and my mum works on it so I feel emotionally connected to it too :D
 
It used to be quite good when it first started. Now it is so drawn out with rubbish people who milk their 45mins of fame to the utmost.

To be fair to them, they only learn from the best - Noel. If that guys career ever went down the toilet he could earn serious money in the dairy industry.
 
little secret for you, the xmas and new years programs were recorded in June :)

makes them funnier to watch knowng that - well does for me anyway :(
 
It's enthralling to watch a couple of episodes, because it shows you just how much of an affinity to superstition the human brain has.

We're programmed to see patterns to see things that aren't there.

Luck, superstition, goblins, ghosts, gods etc.

Watching a couple of episodes of that shows that even when people can rationally know there can be nothing other than chance at play they easily associate superstition with it.
 
I don't understand how people get to go on a show and win money based on which boxes they choose. It's utterly pathetic, yet makes for a brilliant session on the Itbox in pubs!
 
It's a hideous concept for a show which ought to last five seconds:

"Pick a box."
"Box 1 please."
"You won 20p. Goodnight!"



*phone rings but everyone's left*
 
the concept is rubbish but it works, very entertaining.
the draw is peoples greed and emotions

lol! :D Thrilling time in the Will Gill household then. :D


It's so drawn out though, you'd just be like.. box numbers..... 4, 12, 2, 15, 18, 7, 9, etc etc, open all at once, ready, steady, GO!!!! I win £15,000 or what ever.
 
Is she the independant adjudicator that knows where the boxes are?

once she was a while back, but generally its an independent

the banker is the executive producer and is apparently hilarious down the phone, Noel does quite well to translate what he says, usually its

"what a total **** this **** is!" etc.. etc.. sounds liek being in the production booth is quite a giggle
 
I hate that most people that go on there have to hug every single person when they open it and it's a blue ¬_¬'

I'd just go in and think to myself, I've already won at least a penny, so I'm leaving with some money at least :p

How you ever won anything Deal or No Deal on those? We always ending up picking pretty much every red all the times we play it...
 
The US version is muuuuch better, rather than the other players, they've just got a bunch of hotties with the other boxes.
 
Drives me nuts when its on. It's completely random, and a game would be over in 10 seconds if they wanted it to be, but they have to stretch it out for entertainment.

Getting to play on that show is essentially free money. As soon as contestant x y or z is selected at the start, they've basically won a few grand, unless they seriously fudge it up.

It makes me laugh how almost everyone on it has a 'system', and how the contestants act as if they've been friends with one another for years. So corny, so cheesy, and so pointless.
 
I do chuckle when they're doing well, get an offer of £30,000 and proceed to push their luck in the next round.

BAM, 100,000 and 50,000. offer = £40

:D
