Deal or No Deal, WWF-style


The television show featuring overly excited people screaming at the top of their lungs whenever anything at all happens is back. That's right, I'm talking about the new season of Deal or No Deal premiering this week on NBC.

First of all, I love this show. The setup is great, and the contestants are usually so into the game that they don't realize they're shouting even when host Howie Mandel (best known for his work on Bobby's World) just slightly turns his body in another direction. It's great comedy. But I need more controversey.

Here's what I don't like. Why is everyone in the audience always pulling for the contestant to win the most money possible, which by the way, was $6 mil last night? Am I the only one who would rather watch someone they don't know chose the briefcase worth a penny over the one that contains a mil? There needs to be more booing.

My suggestion is to make the show more like wrestling. There could be good guys and bad guys among the contestants and even among the lovely women who hold the briefcases. Contestants could enter the stage while taunting Howie along with members of the audience. The best situation would be a contestant's family member or friend turning on them by telling them to deal when they should really choose no deal. And then, to the surprise of the audience, the friend slowly turns to the camera with an evil grin on his/her face knowing they just cost their pal a ton of cashmoney.

Imagine it. It's like when Shawn Michaels superkicked his tag team partner Marty Jannetty through the barbershop window, or when Hogan joined the NWO. Howie Madel=Vince McMahon.

For the record, you can play
deal or no deal online. This pretty much kills the rest of my day.

Comments:
Ok, officially getting no work done now...you can play online?!?!

BTW, great Idea incorporating WWF into the show. Like it's not rediculous enough.
