Oh Me...I can't watch "Deal or no Deal" anymore.
The sheer idiocy of the contestants is unbelievable.

3 nights ago a Guy has $410,000.00.. Does he think to himself "Gee..I'm out of work and this would pay ALL my bills and make my wife and children a lot happier?"....Nooooooo..he takes a chance and winds up with 860 dollars.


Last night this Lady is down to 2... TWO cases...one is worth 5 grand..the other 1 million.
She's offered 546,000.00...over half a million....(You KNOW what the dumb-ass did.)

I'd like to say this to them >>
On your way home, which way would you feel worse??
You lost out on 5-6 hundred thousand BUT you have a TON of dough...around half a MILLION ..YES!!
..or you drive home with a few stinking bucks knowing you threw away half a million?

I need to get a life.

1. My kids love that show, but I feel like you about it. Drives me crazy
when people won't take the deal.

I think I'd kill myself if I threw away a half mil.

2. The remote control is your friend. The Local Weather Channel can be kind of addictive!

3. I think they weed out the people who would take the deals.
The risk takers make for more exciting TV. But yeah, it drives me crazy, too, because I can't help but feel bad for them, knowing how much the money could help those people and how bad they probably feel.
