Oh well, back to Deal or No Deal . Just put Eddie out to pasture he has not the Charisma of Andrew and deal is more entertaining. Bye bye Ed,you and the show ain’t got what it takes.
The fact that a contestant sitting there doing nothing through the whole show that only comes in for the last question after the previous contestant passed and then walks away with all the money is wrong. The prize pool should be shared by all contestants who answeres and passed. Those who get an answer wrong forfiet their share of the prize pool. That way, you wouldn’t have contestants who don’t care is they get an answer right or wrong opting to guess for their own selfish reasons, and would make them work together as more of a team. Would be way more interesting.
The format is so flawed, it appears little or no thought went into it. It does not make for good TV to see someone doing nothing tale all the money, and another who has answered alot of questions end up with nothing.
