Deal or No Deal?

I am loving this new game show brought by ABS-CBN in collaboration with Endemol, the guys that brought us Pinoy Big Brother. Deal or No Deal is crazy!Kapamilya Deal or No Deal is tension-filled game show where a contestant must choose one briefcase from among 26. Each briefcase contains a particular amount, ranging from one peso to two million pesos. It is only when a contestant chooses a briefcase that he/she discovers its value which is flashed on the screen. As the briefcases are opened, a Banker will offer an amount in exchange for the contestant’s briefcase. At this point, the host will ask the contestant, the famous Deal-No Deal question. If the contestant is confident that his/her briefcase has a higher value than the Banker’s offer, he/she can refuse the deal. The host will then continue to open the remaining briefcases until the amount of the contestant’s briefcase is revealed.





Here’s the catch: should the remaining briefcases yield lower values, the contestant has no choice but to accept the Banker’s lower offer. To win, the contestant must choose wisely between a deal and no-deal situation. In a deal situation, the contestant must make sure that his/her briefcase yields a lower amount higher than what the Banker offered. On other hand, in a no-deal situation, the amount of the contestant’s briefcase must be higher than the Banker’s offer.

Every night I couldn't wait to watch this nerve-wrecking game show where you can't help but scream with the studio audience and player once a low-value brief case is opened thereby improving the chances of getting a high-valued briefcase or a high offer from the infamous banker. Kris Aquino, the country's Queen of talk and Queen of Game Shows, plays her role very well. I am enjoying this game and it is raking up high ratings already in its first week here in the Philippines.

I am turning into a fan already and I do hope you watch it too. Deal?
