I'd love to open the boxesin numerical order. No story, no crap.

You'd never get on the show with that attitude! Don't you know all the boxes are a mystery force to be reckoned with? And when you are there in the 'crazy chair' you'll get a feeling towards each number.

Sensible people are exactly the type they avoid on that show, hence the constant stream of sob stories and the fact they have auditions to be on it.

Someone actually did that once! Doubt they would be interested in someone doing it again though!

The worst ones are the ones who deal at ~£10k and then start crying because they had £50k in their box...
You've just won £10k you muppet, why are you crying because of what could have been?

I have always had this problem with a lot of quiz shows : the "you've lost" view when you don't get the high value prize.

You are still walking out of there with more money than you started with (usually) and you haven't lost anything since it wasn't yours anyway.

For some reason I don't watch more than a couple of episodes of any series before thinking "meh" and not watching again. :cool:

As I'm not in the UK very often so don't get to watch DOND, I make sure that I always keep up to date with what happened on each show.

Only joking. I'm not really that sad. Honest.

I've never "got" this show. People opening boxes.....how is that considered entertainment?

And if the contestants weren't bad enough, the audience members look and sound like a bunch of half-witted morons who have just eaten a bucket of blue Smarties.

Total rubbish!

IMO, the biggest entertainment factor of the show is watching some greedy ****** who was offered a substantial amount of money, decline the offer and ending up walking away with 1p or 10p. (and more often than not, the people who do this appear to be right wallies).

Yes, I have to admit, it can be quite amusing when a contestant walks away with a 10p prize.

Quite cruel, but horribly funny.

My husband "lost" £11,735 on a game show once. And the woman who won it didn't even answer any questions correctly! But we had a good time, he got his face on the telly for 15 mins (not a lifetime ambition but quite fun at the time) and if we ever argue about me spending money on handbags, I can throw it back in his face!

Ah my late grampy HATED Deal or No Deal with a passion! He was always gabbing on 'there's no skill to it', 'why not just go in order of number' etc etc always makes me smile when it comes on.

Plus Noel Edmonds is a complete twonk.

Plus Noel Edmonds is a complete twonk.

Maybe, but he appears to provide what the TV producers want and he recently bought a £2 million house and earnt around £3 million last year alone.

Not bad for a "twonk"!

I've stopped feeling guilty when an old dear with a sob story only gets 10p despite her strong feeling that the lovely Denise with box 12 will do right by her.
