Deal or No Deal -Tommy

[bobthebandit]

How much did Baby Faced Tommy win on Deal or No Deal? I missed the last few shows

[Panic Button]

Didn't do very wel.l A couple of thousand I think, but had �5000 in his box.

Looked close to tears.

Thanks. What a shame, Nobody seems to win very much nowadays. I thinks since they stopped the premium rate phone ins, the producers fix it for each contestant chosen, as they cant afford to giver much away

Sylvia had the biggie in her box today but won 12500.

Considering the contestants are chosen at random, Noel Edmonds always seems to produce something from under the table that has something to do with the contestant that has been picked. eg: the pink wig on tonights show. Makes me think it's a set up !

[bobthebandit]

You are right Jillius.I dont believe the contestants have ever been chosen at random. The producers know who they are going to pick and how much is in that chosen person's box.
Also the relatives or friends are always there in the audience, so they must be pre-warned

[shaking]

it's played out, now getting boring.

Spot on bobthebandit,

Three programmes are filmed each day in Bristol, all the contestants are put up in a hotel and I have never seen one picked after only being on 1 or 2 days, its always a week or so.

With it being edited I suppose the pink wig thing could be brought in when the women was selected, but agree with others, its fixed and getting very boring.

PS: The people pi$$ me off as well showing photos of their family's/partners and running up and hugging the others when they have opened a box with a low money value etc. Grrr.

i remember reading that the contstants are told that it will be between (i think it was 4) people and say who they are and when it will be so then they can get the family or friends to come and see the show. it is always when the people have been on the show for a couple of weeks otherwise it wouldnt be fair, because youd have someone who has been there for month and some who had only been there a day or two. i went to see it recorded and they dont do anything like bring in props , its always there. after the person is chosen filming stops and the mic put on them and the family member or friend is moved into the seat in the audience behind noel and a mic put on them as well

[bobthebandit]

Thanks for previous replies. However Im certain it is fixed regarding the amounts they have in the boxes.

[gina32]

bobthebandit, it isnt fixed because before the show the contestants have to pick a ball out of a bag which has a number on then they are given the box with the same number on, and its done while the audience are watching.

[bobthebandit]

Thanks for previous replies.
Gina, I would still believe it would be easy for the producers to still fix it, because they would still know the exact amount in each contestant's boxes.
How many times does the �250 K come to the table? Hardly ever, which defies the law of averages
