[QUOTE="Hallenbeck77"]No, that would require skill or knowledge. Can't have that. This game is nothing but gambling. You pick one case, then go about eliminating the remaining cases with uninformed guessing. If you're lucky, the cases you pick have low dollar values. If you're unlucky, they have high dollar values. After picking a few cases you get a call from the 'banker' who offers you an amount based on what cases are left in play. You can take it or continue on to the next round, where you just repeat the process. If you take it all the way to the end, you're left with just one case in the field and the case you picked at the beginning, and you have to choose which one contains the larger amount. Again, there's nothing but pure chance to dictate that.I've yet to see that show. How's it played, anyway? You gotta answer questions or something? :|

Of all the game shows I've seen, this requires the least skill of all. Not a single attribute it put to the test, except perhaps your willingness to gamble.
Agree 100%.
Interesting to note the disturbing trend downward of 'game shows' in general. Was a time when Jeopardy was a weekly prime time show. It was eclipsed in popularity by Who Wants to be a Millionaire, which gave you 4 answer choices.
Now we have the aforementioned Deal or No Deal, which is pure luck, and a show in which grown people are challenging fifth graders in academic pursuits (and losing!!!).
I guess there is no way to go broke when one appeals to the lowest common denominator.
