Deal or No Deal

I feel like tonight’s episode is obviously the best the format gets in terms of luck hahaha. Unless they increase the chances for more money. The episodes can only go down from here in terms of the game unfortunately.

If you’re 10 and you have that episode in the hopper, why show it in the first week but not on premiere day?

What an episode tonight! Like ced41 said, luck wise it doesn’t get any better then that hahaha.

I understood her decision and am still happy for her, but you had $75k and $100k left on the board - she should’ve played on and regardless she still would’ve had a good amount, and considering she did end up having the $100k. she really should’ve played on

Good start and a fast-paced and exciting game show at the same timeslot as Family Feud

Tonights ep was perfect. That should have aired last night!

I wonder if 10 went with an overtly Melbourne contestant, as well as being quite a bubbly/vibrant one, strategically? Especially the frequent Collingwood references :man_shrugging:

ATV has always been one of its strongest and most loyal stations, even in its lowest days, going all the way back to “Channel 0”. Johnston and Wendt, Neighbours, Bert/GMA, Rove, BTG, AFL, The Project, MasterChef, Offspring, etc etc

Surprisingly caught up on tonight’s ep and again, didn’t hate it.

A lot less shouty than last night and just an exciting well played game.

She made the mathematically right decision - the final offer was $88k, and the average value of the final two cases was $87,500. Playing on would have been a 50-50 to gain $12,000 or lose $13,000 - if it weren’t in the context of Deal or No Deal with the potential to already win a big amount, playing that 50-50 would be silly

However, I agree with your logic - $100,000 is awesome, and $75,000 wouldn’t be a bad day in the office … go for it.

This is pretty much where I landed with board doyen @Bort last night.

The 88k deal is the smart play at that point, but it’s also a game show/free money.

Thought pattern might’ve been to get the awkward episode out of the way first, then air all the stronger episodes consistently?

I saw it for the first time tonight, it was good, but not enough to sway me from the 6pm news. I might watch it occasionally.

Wasn’t it only supposed to start next Monday 5th Feb? (that’s why i hadn’t seen it until now).

I wonder if they‘ll have features like Megaguess, Chance, Second Chance, Double Or Nothing and Supercase like the Seven version did?

Yes but the start date was brought forward a week

I predict that they will have features.

Deal Wheel could be a feature and side game

Oh dear. Greed won last night.

In the NBC Primetime version, a man had an offer of $416,000 with $1 and $1,000,000 on the board. He said “no deal” to $416,000 and his case had $1 after declining the offer to switch

I’m noticing that Deal or No Deal has improved 10’s 6pm timeslot. In the 5-city metro that members are familiar with the show had 208,000 yesterday that was just above the result for 10 News at 5pm. The previous Thursday 10 News had 123,000 for the 6pm segment.

Following, across the hour The Project had 202,000 (metro) yesterday compared to the previous week that had 145,000. So currently it seems to be improving 10’s early evening if not spectacularly.
