Anyone notice the changes in the show this week?

I can't take Howie Mandel's germ phobia. I used to like him before.

I know...I didn't notice before...now I notice when he greets someone he just sticks out his fist...sorta like "Wonder Twin powers activate!" LOL

LOL! Yeah, like he's not going to get any germs from that! *rolling eyes*

We saw him on Celebrity Poker Showdown, and he actually wore surgical gloves and talked about it. *rolling eyes again*

I personally would hate being treated like I had cooties. They have all kinds of antibacterial products you can use (if you're that paranoid) and still be able to interact with the rest of the human race. I wonder if he'll eventually end up like Howard Hughes. That would be sad.

If he is such a germophobe then he wouldn't touch that little box that has the deal button under it. Whenever the banker makes a deal, Howie opens the box...the contestants then put their hands all over their mouths, on their heads and in their hair trying to decide w/family and friends whether or not to take the deal, ultimately putting the little box back down saying "No deal!!!"
Unless, of course, they sanitize the box off the air...I bet that is what they do...they would never show that on TV...

I love Deal or No Deal... but seriously, can't Howie not do that hand gesture just once

This is the main problem I have with him on this thing--his inconsistency about it. On the poker show where he openly spoke about it, he had surgical gloves on presumably so that he could touch the cards without getting everybody else's cooties on him, but he routinely would touch himself--face, head, eyes, mouth, etc.--with those same gloved hands, so in effect there's no difference than if he had never put the gloves on in the first place.

I guess that's why phobias are defined as "irrational" fears--because it only takes a moment of rational thought to figure out that touching something that someone else has touched could mean that the cooties will end up on you as if you'd actually touched them. (This is why one of the best things we can do to prevent the spread of contagions in our homes is to clean our doorknobs, faucet handles, etc.)

Those who actually have to use sterile technique are very careful not to touch anything else if their glove has been contaminated.

When the models were replaced by Miss USA contestants before the pageant, I had a feeling about Miss Kentucky. She went on to win the pageant.

We have the most annoying host in Australia - I can't remember his name, but he's absolutely shocking. He's made me not want to watch anymore!

And they've made it so people who correctly guess what's in their briefcases only get $500 as opposed to the $1000 they used to get. Just little changes I don't like. How the bank offer rolls around, it's irritating. lol. Ok..... /me calms down

 

[bumblebee62331]

Hey... I just played that game (very fun might I add!) but yours is slightly different to ours! Our top amount is $200,000! No fair!

 

[bill'swife]

I've seen a couple of shows where the top prize was 1.5 million.

My husband is now addicted to this website! He has created a spreadsheet and is keeping track of the odds of each number being high or low.

Haha, that sounds mathematical!

The first time I played that website, I won top dollar!

In case (get it) anyone cares, someone did pick the case with $1,000,000 but did not stay in the game long enough to win it. She took the deal for $215,000.

I was yelling at the tv to go all the way but she wouldn't listen to me!

No wonder contestants can be a bit dumb
When the audience is right!

The chance of getting a million is so slim I would take anything over 100,000 and go home happy.

Yea, but it's easy to give advice when it's not your money.

I was yelling, too, so she ignored both of us!
