DEAL OR NO DEAL... Yesterday, I watched the Star Wars-themed episode of Deal or No Deal on the Game Show Network (GSN) channel. This episode originally aired on NBC in April of 2008, with Darth Vader as The Banker, and The Models (or at least some of ‘em) dressed as Stormtroopers in the first episode of this two-parter. This episode was amusing... The reason for it being Star Wars-themed was because the main contestant, Elyse McCrillis, was a huge fan of the movie after watching it when she was young. McCrillis fled from Vietnam when she was a little child, and became a fan of Princess Leia after seeing Episode IV: A New Hope. (Speaking of Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher made a guest appearance on this episode). On one hand, McCrillis sounded awkwardly geeky during earlier parts of this episode (mostly when she did Star Wars quotes just as she was about to choose ‘no deal’). And on the other hand, she’s an attractive Asian girl who happens to love Star Wars. That’s a total plus there. But she’s married. That’s a total negative there. I’m pretty sure I’ll never meet her in person, so I’ll change the subject now.



What made this episode bearable to watch was the fact The Models never said a word...‘cause they were clad in white Imperial armor (so they were never in position to say something ditsy that would jinx the contestant right before a briefcase was opened). Stormtroopers don’t talk. They’re silent but deadly (unless, of course, they were trying to shoot at Han Solo, Luke Skywalker or any other Star Wars main character). Today, the second episode of this two-parter will be aired on GSN (at 2 PM, PDT). Chewbacca and R2D2 will make an appearance, and The Models will be dressed as sexy Slave Girl Leia from Return of the Jedi. Hmm...

I was planning to catch a matinee showing of Clash of the Titans this noon (despite hearing that the 3-D for this film sucks), but I might stay home and watch Deal or No Deal instead. And before you ask, work at my job is extremely slow right now. Hence the free time watching game show reruns and/or bad movies.

DEAL OR NO DEAL... Today, I watched yet another 2007 rerun of the NBC game show (this episode was titled "Summer in December"), and was absolutely not surprised at the end result. The contestant, Demetres B., had a chance at winning $110,000 but ended up only getting $1,000 because she wanted to "go all the way". Way to go, Demetres...you definitely are your own "individual". I hope your frat sisters didn’t kick you out of the sorority ‘cause you f**ked up BIG TIME.

However, that’s the beauty of this show: Watching stupid people, who think they're "gutsy", get extremely greedy and lose it all. But you would already know that if you watch Deal or No Deal. And read my previous Blog...

DEAL OR NO DEAL... I was watching a rerun on the GSN (Game Show Network) cable channel today, and I don’t care if you’re "The Hero of Harlem", Wesley Autry, you screwed up big time. Yes, I know that that's an understatement. You got greedy there buddy. You should’ve told your family members to **** off (not in those exact words obviously. Then again...) and take that $300,000. Or was it $305,000? Whatever (Would've. Could've. Should've). It’s helluva lot better than $25. Chump.

Did you use some of that $25 to buy duct tape and wrap a piece around your sister’s (and maybe your mom’s) mouth so she (they) won’t give you anymore crappy advice, Wesley? I sure hope so. Those models could've used some duct tape on their mouths too...what with them jinxin' you with those lame little speeches right before they opened their briefcases and all. Oh well.
