| "Deal or No Deal" Season Premiere Info |
| Thursday, July 20, 2006 |
From Buzzer correspondent Mike Klauss of ClassicGameShows, here's what's happening on season 2 of "Deal or No Deal". Cosmetically, there are a few changes. They apparently got rid of three models, and before people ask they do still have 26 cases. The models come down the stairs with different outfits after each game now. Also, a studio poll was added this season, probably to ask if a contestant should Deal or No Deal, but it wasn't working properly yesterday. The taping took 8 hours Wednesday morning. Remember that that will be edited down to around 41 minutes. Have fun, editors. There was no air conditioning and no audience services.
Now for the money. The rumors are not true: no $7,500,000 top prize. Boy am I happy I had that as a rumor. However, the increased money could be. On the first episode taped, the top prize was $1,000,000. However, after that episode, the top two values were $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. So, the newest "Deal or No Deal" DVD game box cover could be right. We'll try to get the report from people at future tapings. "Deal or No Deal" redebuts in September on NBC.
EDIT: We have more info from the 3rd episode taped. On episode 3, the top prize is $3,000,000. Looks like we have an increasing jackpot by $1,000,000 for the first few episodes, but we'll see how and why when we can. |

Maybe it's going up from $1m to $5m for the first five episodes, and then there's a $7.5m game? I don't believe that either but I do think the $7.5m has come from *somewhere*.
Wow, eight hours edited into 41 minutes? Puts our two hours edited into 35-ish minutes look like nothing. Wonder how long it takes to film an Aussie episode?
