Deal or No Deal?

My family and I are totally hooked on a new show we discovered a few weeks back....Deal or No Deal. For those of you who haven't come across this game show yet, it's a show of sheer luck and a little bit of gambling. I love it because you don't have to be smart to play and it's open to residents of Canada. You start by picking one suitcase out of twenty-six and hope that it has a high dollar amount in it, preferably one million dollars. That suitcase is left unopened and you start to open other suitcases to narrow down what amount yours might hold. Every so often the banker phones and offers you an amount to stop playing. Obviously, he offers you more when the chances are good that you're going to win a big amount. You should see my youngest son when this show is on....he's bouncing on the couch with excitement, waiting to see what amount each suitcase holds. Tonight it was bedtime while I was watching it, and he kept calling me from his bedroom to ask what amount the lady opened. It's very entertaining just watching him get so excited. Perhaps we're a sad bunch living vicariously through other people, but it's just so much darn fun seeing people win money and wishing it were you! Hmmm....I think I might go and check out NBC's website tonight!
