Friends,
I have an aversion to alot of the "reality tv" shows that are on -- for good reasons :-). Yet, one show that I do tend to watch, occasionally, is "Deal or No Deal". This is such a simple show -- a new "Let's Make a Deal" of sorts. What has been amazing to me is that this show is a psychologist's (not to mention a banker's) dream come true -- I will explain. The producers of this show know that they are going into it to give away mucho $. Yet, how could they have envisioned the millions of dollars that they would save based upon one simple fact -- human greed! It is equally painful and hilarious to see contestant after contestant waste huge amounts of money because they cannot distance themselves from the 1,000,000 dollar signs in their eyes. So many of these goofball contestants listen to their even more nutty, "supportive" relatives and friends (who have nothing and everything to lose) when they say to "go for the gusto, you came here with nothing" when the contestants have $200,000 to $400,000 in their hands. How many have gone home with $100 (or so)? It is a crazy example of human nature run amok. I will keep watching this show, if nothing else, to continue to see how many people succumb to greed and walk away with practically nothing ;-).
Don
P.S. -- Kim plans to get on this show at some point in the future (if she ever gets her video done), and I will be going along as THE VOICE OF REASON, ha ha :-0

you never see any millionaires playing these games I wonder why...
Wheels,
Millionaires play other games -- as in stock market games, and it seems as if they do pretty well, no?

Millionaires are putting on these shows. It's the real deal for them. Ralph
