I enjoy the show, but it seems they really stretched to get it to 2 hours. And they guy who lost really was not smart At All! I also watched the Boston Rob post boot interview with him on PEacock. It's about 10 minutes and enjoyable.

Oooh, good idea. I mean they really only need the person for 5 minutes at the end of the last show. The "offer" is all based on stats.

So glad that the Australian hunk survived so we can drool over him all season.

No one watched last night?
Dr. Will outed Parvati, she was not happy.
He played well, but Parvati played better, with safety from elimination.
The big guy with the beard played the banker.... and after clearing all the high dollar cases but one, he took the deal. Good odds, but he had the last high dollar case, so he lost and went home.

I was so bummed he took the deal, I felt he had the high case as he did in his gut. Wish he would have listened

I watched the latest episode tonight. It is pretty amusing that the kids on the show had no idea who Parvati is, nor who Dr. Will is, nor why this likeable Aussie bloke is playing. As a senior citizen who actually snapped to watching reality television when it debuted in 2000 with Big Brother, I suspect those of us still at TVclubhouse are a unique group.

Pamy, I think he had to, with the odds. Far more likely that he had a low amount.

I watched! the frustrating this about this game is how large the element of luck looms. They always indicate they want to pick a high dollar case for their case, but really you want the penny, and then take whatever deal. So far I don't think we've ever seen the odds in the favor of taking your case. It's usually 50/50 or take the deal that yeilds the better odds. So you want your case to be low value! unless you go with your gut, you're going to play the odds. So much luck involved!
I'm glad Dr. Will was safe, but for how long. And so funny that he outed Parv. And I'm not surprised so many don't know him. Big Brother is not that popular these days and he hasn't been on in a long time. I'm sure he assumed they all knew who she was.

Yeah, Brenda... I'm surprised at how often they don't understand the odds of the game... and how often they advise contrary to those.

Tonight’s episode gave the best of Dr. Will, to the consternation of Pavarati and the others. Four low cases and 2 high ones left and he took the deal. He played the odds and made a good deal. Even the Aussie guy, while totally frustrated and annoyed with Dr. Will’s gameplay, reluctantly admitted how good he was.
It pays to read the fine print on the rules of the game.

Dr. Will played well... and he certainly is doing what he promised... causing chaos.

I loved it! I dont understand why they were pissed he went 1 2 3 4 etc...whats the difference if he picked random #s odd still the same. He was right to take the deal, odds were in his favor at that point

It has always puzzled me why anybody would play or watch Deal or No Deal. It is pure gambling mentality, and I am not a gambler. Also, I don't gamble because I am too lucky, and then I feel sorry if I win the money others so desperately need because they are gambling addicts.
I don't mind watching this particular show because it incorporates a Survivor-like element.

I've always wanted someone to just open the cases in order! LOL! Finally Dr Will did it! I still wish he had just taken the very low dollar value. He would have still stayed and maybe they would quit throwing him in there knowing he was just going to lowball them.
I didn't like that he pouted and left the challenge. Stay and be witty Dr. Will! But I loved, loved, loved how he opened the cases in order. It's all random! It's about time someone did that. Thank you Dr. Will.

I still don't understand why Will left the challenge... I thought his goal was to play the banker?

I enjoyed this show last season. Dr. Will is ruining it for me, I really don't like him, the way he looks, the way he acts, the way he talks, just everything about him annoys me. I have to make myself watch at this point, I really wish they wouldn't have included him.

For a different perspective on Dr Will, keep an open mind and check out this interview he gave to Rob Cesternino recently:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ7feSH-3Nw&pp=ygURcm9iIGhhcyBhIHBvZGNhc3Q%3D
He really is quite an entertaining guy in real life. Hope the link above works.

I thought Will left the challenge on purpose to throw the others off. With him, it’s never what you see, it’s probably just more strategy to throw the others off. Having said that, he really wanted to drop Dixon? first, as a power move over Dixon.

Wow, is that Dr. Will interview really 4 hours?! I will watch it sometime this weekend.
I saw an US article on instagram that revealed that Maria Grace (who he sent home) now works for him! They had discussed her moving to LA and working for his company during the show. He reached out to her after the show to continue the conversation. See, he is a good guy.

I like that Will opened the cases in order. The reasons players give for choosing the numbers they choose sound dumb. I suppose production encourages them give a reason. Just pick a number already!

He did look upset when saying she would go. But, like he said earlier in the program, the logistics of going against what he agreed to would be suicide in the game. Glad to hear that he found a place for her.
Thought this interview with Joe helped explain some of what went down dur8ng the episode.
