Where did that come from?
Where did it come from, or where did it start? The US hit NBC game show Deal or No Deal, started in the UK. The game has been a hit in both country's, from the start. The UK show started in 2005, and has been a hit since. The banker is still there and the game still take lot of luck, risk, and strategy.
Though the models aren't in the UK version of the game, there are still cases that need to be opened. There are 22 potential contestants, and one of those lucky contestants is put in the "hot seat." From there they open cases, to see how much money they are going to get walk away with. The cases in the UK are red rather than silver, and the grand prize is only a quarter of a million rather than a million.
The game show host in the UK is Noel Edmonds.
Though I haven't seen the over seas version of the show, I'm betting the shows host is as humorous as Howie Mandel (US version host). Just from looking at the original show (UK version) website you can see the similarities and differences. They both have photos of the game, contestants. They show and tell how the parts of the game are different, like the cases, and how the contestants are picked. Also they both have online version of the game that you can play at home.
So what can I say, obliviously it’s a hit, both in the US and UK. Ratings are through the roof, on both shows. Just imagine you in the “hot seat” picking numbered cases determining your wealth. Your money offers rising or falling, depending on what you pick. Your heart is racing, like the contestants’ on the show, as the game comes to the end. The banker calls, and you wait in anticipation, as the host breaks for a commercial. You find out our offer and have to decide whether to go on and risk it or stop and be content.
Does greed set in? For many contestants, yes. When the big offers appear you begin to think what am I going to do with all this money, or when the offer drops you start kissing early retirement away. The risk, strategy, and the sheer luck it takes to win big on the show. So what would you pick, when your money was on the line? Deal or no deal? Not one person on the US version of the show has won the grand prize of a million, and only one contestant from UK has won the quarter of a million. Must have been her “lucky day” as they say.
