Howie Mandell and his soulpatch prevent me from enjoying the American version. I have watched maybe half of an episode but I just look at him and it annoys me.

I know two people that told me they liked it, but that was before I had seen it, so I didn't have a chance to ridicule them.

Clearly everything about it is awful but the worst thing about game shows these days is that everyone knows exactly how to behave on camera now. So all the contestants are as obnoxious and loud as possible because "energetic" now means you have to have your eyes popping out of your head and you have to jump up and down manically when you're not rolling around on the floor and going WOOOO WOOOO to get a laugh out of Howie Mandel.

Yeah, I think that's an American thing. They clearly put the people on who are most willing to go batshit crazy and you can practically hear the producers goading them on. More! More! Bigger! Go bigger!

The worst bit is at the end when the contestant has took the deal, so you'd think the game is over. Yet they drag it out for another 10 minutes by opening all the reminding boxes, each time saying: "Steven, this could turn out to be the biggest mistake of your life!!!".
And then they say at random points "you've played a strong game". Played a strong game, WTF?! |

It's not thrilling TV or anything, but it's not nearly as mindless and boring as you guys are making it. It's not just about some guy opening boxes and then deciding to quit when he feels like it. The game is more about risk/reward and playing the odds than it is just randomly opening cases.

I hate every new game show. They have the same lame formula. Either pick some random object, or answer a question then 10 minutes of "are you sure?" then press a button and say a stupid catch phrase.

my mom LOVES it. it is made for women like her. she'll watch anything that's not offensive. though the outfits those girls wear are pretty offensive.

My dad absolutely loves when people turn down enormous amounts of money and open up another box. He often yells "DUMBASS!" and laughs loudly. It's good for him.

I almost hate to defend it, since it's definitely not really what I consider all that entertaining. But still, that doesn't mean that it's the most mind-numbing pointless thing on TV like some of you are making out. There's obviously something there for a lot of people. |

My mom and sister like this show.
I'll usually walk in the room at the end.. and just shake my head and walk away. I can see how people would watch it though. I wouldn't ever sit down and watch it if i had the choice though |

Actually the best part is that it's so popular there's a board game version, and one of those DVD games. There's only one thing more entertaining than watching people flip coins for money, and that's flipping coins for pretend money |

Like I said, if the show was just based around people catching purely random unlucky breaks like you're making it out, no one would watch it. People like to watch others fail because of their own screw ups and stupidity, not because of random unlucky breaks that could happen to anyone. Haven't we seen enough reality TV by now to know that? You can say DOND doesn't seem like the sort of thing you'd find fun to watch (I agree with that sentiment myself). But that doesn't mean that anyone who does enjoy it is some kind of mouth breathing idiot. |

The average person couldn't tell you the odds of throwing two sixes with a pair of dice, you're insane
Not as insane as these people though: http://www.dond.co.uk/forum/index.php |
