What Is Deal Or No Deal?
Deal Or No Deal is a channel 4 game show produced by Endomol. Presented by the very entertaining veteran of TV shows, Noel Edmonds, the game consists of 22 contestants each with boxes numbered 1 to 22. Before the show begins, each person chooses his or her box at random and each box contains a different amount of money, ranging from 1p to £500,000. When a player is randomly chosen to play, they have to choose 5 boxes to open and eliminate in the first round, thereafter its 3 boxes per round. After each round, the banker will call Noel on the phone and offer the contestant an amount of money for the box in front of them, which they had chosen. This offer depends on what amounts of money are left on the board. The player can decide to deal if the offer is good enough and the game continues as if they were still in live play. This is because although the player dealt, they could have possibly won or lost a whole lot more. The best game to have is to eliminate all the blue numbers and keep all the highest reds in place to secure good offers. Watch them take their chances.
Deal or No Deal is the only show where they have chosen to broadcast floods, power cuts, contestants fainting and, once, there was a box that contained nothing inside!
It's the only show where they have such a variety of contestants who you would not normally expect to see on other game shows from posh to commoners, wheelchair bound, the blind, deaf and dumb and the disabled. It is the only show where the pilgrims (audience), contestants and even the camera operators can be thrown out of the building when they upset Noel, or the banker.
Special Shows of Deal Or No Deal

My Reviews
Deal or No Deal is more than just a game show., it puts the show in game show and has become an institution. There is no other game show like it. I don't know of any other show where the majority of contestants including big burley men will cry, and only one girl, Toni from Wales who cried her way throughout the entire show. These were no ordinary tears, they were tears of sadness, happiness, anger, frustration and relief. It's only looking back at the early editions of Deal Or No Deal shown on Challenge TV, where Noel would shout out loudly each time a box was opened. Also the banker was far too generous and not as smart and witty as he is now. Note: When players say ‘That’s a clever offer,’ or ‘the banker is very smart". What they are all really saying is ‘thank you’ to the banker for being more generous than they expected!
