I think it's the worst show ever. It's bad enough that the little critter that is Noel Edmonds hosts it, but I cannot stand the people who participate on the show- they sit and cry when they deal at a 'mere' £20,000 and find out that they could have got more. What a shame- you've just sat on your fat butt and did nothing for half an hour and you've been given £20,000- poor you. And the strategy thing- the whole thing is just so retarded! The greed of people really brasses me off. Am I the only one that feels like this? I've watched it twice and will never watch it again. I think that the popularity of this show says a lot about the British public- its depressing.

the fact that there is no skill involved but only deciding when to deal or not is really good. If i was on there, i would open the boxes in order of 1 to 21. People who say they have a system are fooling themselves. The plain fact of the matter is that it is a game of chance and that is what is captivating about the whole concept. If you are willing to go for the big prize, then you may stand a chance of big money. I think that you need someone with you in the audiance to be the level headed one when the money is at a certain amount and the time to deal is right. Noel is just the right man for the job.

Worst show ever - Haven't you ever seen Naked Jungle?
Considering that you only watch it twice and the viewing a ratings are going up - I think that you are in a minority!
Some parts of it are a little cheesey, but take it for what it is.
As for dealing a 'a mere 20K' well I'd like to see what you would do in that situation, would you risk that amount of cash and risk going home with 1p????
As for greed, what's the point of going on a show and aiming to win a few £100 when you could win a large sum of money?
There are far worse shows around EG Big Brother - give it a break !!!

Noel always wants the contestants to carry on saying that £2500.000 may be in there box, then the greed starts showing. I think anyone who goes on there and gets £20.000 has done well. Yes I am getting fed up with it but I did like it at the start.

God!
You sound like such a hater!
What....? Did you not get picked for the show? Or were you one of the idiots that won the 1p! ha ha ha ha ha
I can't believe you've put so much hate into a television programme...... Try getting out more.

Whilst I don't really like the program or Noel Edmonds (Keith Chegwin was best out of them two) I do find it hilarious sometimes the greedy bar stewards offered upto 20k and they are so greedy they no deal.... lots of times they end up winning bugger all and you can see they are gutted.... bloody hilarious !!
Still, you can simply turn over and watch something else... it's not compulsery viewing.....

I'd rather go down in a plane crash than watch that show. So much of television seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator these days. There is some worthwhile programming on television, but it requires very careful selection.

Agreed, shocking nonsense altogether. All this talk of having a gameplan and ***** footing about, it should only take 3 mins to complete a game of that, but instead they give you a half hour of noel edmonds and his tucked in shirts and new-age nonsense. What a fanny.

I certainly wouldn't mind being on the show....
Even if I only won $1,000.00 it's not bad for an hour or two of NOT working. :)
To watch it though, it is very slow. I'm in the States and I'm not a fan of Howie Mandells

You really cant critisize the people on there until you have been in their shoes, it hacks me off when people slag off other people that havnt actually had the experience themselves, i love the show its funny and not depressing, No DEAL
