Deal or no Deal

[Glendale]

Id refuse to speak to the banker for the first two offers and if he offered pants after that i would tell noel to hang up! If more bad offers came in i would tell him to leave the phone off the hook!

[bowie]

What about your no DOND rule? Does that apply to the actual thing or would you have to pass on it?

[Glendale]

I would make an exception in this case! :-)

[Shaggerty]

I'd refuse to 'confirm I randomly chose the box' until Noel said the following:

This will be the most sensational game!
I want you to get alot of money.
I wonder how the banker is going to react.

And finally...

Your box is hidden behind the mirror.

On a serious note, if I had any of the power 5 left, I'd go for it.

If i were Noel, at the end of one of his programs, i would say STOP making those bloody deals, i am sure they had enough advertising by now, or is bell fruit getting paid alot of money for keep making those new deals.
The new deal is called- 'Have you met the banker'. :P

Me too Shaggerty, I'd go mental. I'd get them to paint the phone red, flash the Deal or no Deal logo on the studio on and off and I'd get Noel to say all his catchphrases. I'd also ask the production team to flash GO ALL THE WAY at the bottom of the screen at the start of the program.

If questioned, I'd just say I was very superstiitious. Noel is rather superstitious I believe, so they'd go along with it. Just needs one of us to get on there now.

our lass has tried putting me on. I had a “audition" for golden balls but couldnt handle them not sharing. Cos I was DEFO gonna!

on golden balls, only way to win is to say:

i AM GOING TO SHARE THE MONEY WITH YOU BUT I AM GOING TO "STEAL"... you MUST split, i will share the money with you in exactly half, but i am going to steal,... the only way you are going to get any of the money is to split and then i give you a cheque for half (at this point pull your chequebook out and start to write it)

if they split, give them half
if the steal stand up and tell them they're a fucking retard, then smash the stage up and walk out

Somebody did this once. The other person selected split and so did the guy who said the above.

They then changed the rules to stop people using this tactic I believe.

Which only goes to show what a stupid end-game golden balls has. It's an interesting problem if the game is played multiple times, but as a one off between two people it's a ridiculous end game mechanic.
