So I hear you ask what is deal or no deal. Well it is simply the greatest TV game show in history. It has boxes and poor people and Noel Edmonds, (from noel’s house party, he has made a Pulp fiction John Travolta comeback)
Below is an explanation…
The game starts with 22 numbered boxes each with an unknown value of between 1p and £250,000 contained in them, these are then randomly chosen by the 22 contestants. A contestant is then chosen to sit in the hot seat for that game with their chosen box. They then play a series of 'rounds' where they chose to eliminate the remaining boxes one by one - hopefully avoiding the boxes containing the big money.
The twist comes in at the end of each round when the 'Banker' - a mysterious off-screen person offers the contestant a sum of money to 'buy' the box that the contestant has in front off of them and end the game. This sum of money is based on the amount of cash left in the remaining boxes.
Sounds confusing and stupid but it is so simple anyone can play. And it is a bit stupid. Anyway I am addicted. Noel is my screen saver at work, that is actually a bit creepy, and I rush home to catch the last 30 minutes of it.
The beauty of the game is that it is complete chance, but the players take it so seriously, it is a proper cult. With Noel as the Jesus and the banker is God.
I have also watched this in Greece, where it is played in Euro’s and Greek and it is equally entertaining. I would watch it in any language in any country. It’s a universal game.
Below photos so you get the vibe of the thing.

Where did Noel get that phone? Jez
Drea, entertaining Blog. While reading, I compared it to Zach Braff's (the hot odd ball from Scrubs) and you almost came out tops. Well, its Zach Braff! He's just too funny, and cute. Sorry mate. Anyway, I think you almost convinced me to actually watch Deal Or No Deal. I was even contemplating on faking something to leave work early so I could get home in time. I soon came to my senses. Look forward to your next blog.
The phone? lets talk about his shirts which are the stuff of Urban Legend. Noel was once wearing a shirt that Jamie has, ahh how I took the piss. It was a good day.
