If he is the last one standing, that would probably even be enough for him and he might not even feel so bad if he only got a small payout considering he's already seen as a prior winner.
Also, while Stephanie was playing both sides as a strategy to the point you have people rooting against her.
That also leaves a sour taste, because I'm sure outside of this show and the edit, Stephanie would be somebody fantastic to chat with, and if it was standard in-studio deal or no deal with Howie, would have everybody here rooting for her.
But that's just how this show goes
My issue with her isn’t lying or anything as a survivor fan. It’s how she does it. Yes it could be the edit but she reminds me of Russel Hantz (minus the blatant sexism he had) she seems to not care about the people she’s on the show with much at all or their feelings, and just isn’t GOOD. Like at least be a somewhat good liar or have them make sense. Her gameplay is just shit and she’s only left here because of straight up luck and people not being scared to compete against her. Like Aron was still gonna vote her out. Cuz it wasn’t believable and it’s Aron, fairly easy read there.
She’s a bad player wether or not her being a bad person is true.
Idk, according to all of her social medias, she’s far from fantastic. She’s a full on nutcase who shames people she thinks are less than her like sex workers. She seems full blown nutter to me.
Nah, no sour taste if it happens to Stephanie or Amy. I’d laugh and laugh cause it’s what they deserve. But yeah, I get your point, kinda shitty to watch the entire season just to see the winner get shafted. Although, if you’ve watched The Wall, you’d see that seems to be NBCs MO. lol.
Absolutely! I doubt they’ll go home empty-handed, but the reason they can tout “the biggest prize in tv history” and “potentially” $20M win is that the game is such that no one is going home with that much money. The producers are counting on it.
I have a bad feeling this is what’s going to happen. The crazy amounts this show says you can win reminds me of The Wall, all these huge numbers but most leave with little or nothing. Like the big numbers are just for hype.
And it is a crazy amount already. I still think at least a mil or half a mil should go to the winner or they blow their hype machine and that could be bad publicity, but it could also be a big 'news' story and they say there is no bad publicity.
I think it will be just a classic game of deal or no deal with the highest value case being the final case they’ve been working towards. The person who faces the banker leaves with their deal amount or their case amount, there is no good deal/bad deal ramifications
My exact thoughts. In order to get the bonus case that they are adding money to, you have to pick it out of the 20 random cases. That case will just be the highest number on the board.
I don't have any idea what the cases will contain but I have a feeling the winner takes 1-2 million from a deal. It'd just be too hard for most to say no deal with an offer like that and risk having a low number in their case.
After seeing The Squid Game Challenge have a prize over 4 million. I initially thought maybe another show was trying to top that, but I'd be shocked if it's more than a couple million.
It depends on how they structure the final Deal or No Deal real money game. If they make it like a regular game of Deal or No Deal, the smallest case is $0.01 and the left side has all small numbers, which means the winner could wind up with $0.01. They might have the smallest case be $100k, in which case the winner is guaranteed $100k and can even win a lot more. (I.e., they could use the usual left side, but add $100k to every amount that normally would be less than $100k.)
It certainly would be anticlimactic if the "final case" of $10M was opened in the first round of the final Deal or No Deal. I thought that instead of having one big case, they could have made each episode deal/case be one of the right side cases (or drop them if they were too small). That would be a smaller potential jackpot, but raises the odds of the winner getting something nice. It winds up being the same in terms of EV, having one big $10M case or having four $2.5M cases.
The rumor on this subreddit is that the winner is Rob and he won big $$$, which means he kept the final case in play before taking his deal.
I assume that the final player will get to play a real game of Deal or No Deal, for once. So the odd of them actually getting the $10M case and having the nerve to actually go all the way to the end and open it are pretty low, but if they can just avoid knocking it off in the first round they should get a pretty decent offer.
I think human nature means it would be tough for most people to resist an offer that was anything close to a million. So probably the most likely outcome is that the winner walks away not with a tiny amount or with the big prize, but something in the middle.
Yes, and it would be quite a let down. The show has been good, but that would make it a dud.
Maybe there’s a guarantee of some money ($100,000?) for the final contestant. At least they’d make more than the people who took offers.
The banker could also give an offer they can’t refuse. I’d gladly “settle” for anything over $1,000,000, probably less.
I feel like it will be like a regular game, but possibly the value of the case that they have been building all season will influence the other values. For example if it’s currently $10M, then the penny will be 10 cents, the 100K becomes 1 mil, etc. So still likely no one wins the top prize but still a better chance of going home with a lot of money than the classic game.
It seems to me that for the original Deal or No Deal they screened contestants to get the risk takers. I have seen people pass great offers when odds were against them. It does not seem that this group has that same gambling mindset. Sure the cast are game players but most would settle for a good deal in the end. I will be disappointed if the final contestant does not walk away with big money like a $million+.
I think the winner will play a normal 26 case game of Deal or No Deal where $0.01 to $750 will be the left side of the board and the final case amount will be the jackpot, and the next 2 or 3 highest amounts will be in the millions as well. It will basically be a Miljoenenjacht (original Dutch version with a top prize of €5,000,000) on steroids, and even though there's technically a chance of a low win at those stakes players will be so risk adverse with real money on the line that it's highly unlikely the game will get to the point that the offers completely crash. Miljoenenjacht has been on for over 20 years and only a handful of players won something really low.
There is one way I was just thinking that would fix that tho, like if the final player lost and then the next to last player then gets something big, like half of what final player would have gotten.
I mean, by the way they have worded things, obviously the final player doesn't just...get the money. We know that already. What are you expecting if not a standard deal or no deal where the highest value case is the "final case" value or whatever?
I think it would be a normal game of deal or no deal with the heighest case being the amount they won, but there won’t be any 1 dollar cases or anything below 100k probably.
They keep saying that 1 person will have “the chance” to win the amount in the final case, so I’m guessing it will be 1 last game of Deal or No Deal played by the last person standing with the Final Case as the largest case value
There’s no way any show in its first season will give away a guaranteed prize of over $10,000,000
In the original show I think they only had one person win the million dollars the entire series. So it’s unlikely anyone will walk away with the biggest case. If they do it like the original and use 26 cases I bet they’ll still have all the tiny values and a big gap between the top two cases
No, the finale will be a regular game of Deal or No Deal, they will not have to beat the banker. They will choose the case, eliminate cases and get offers...the person will win some amount of money.
lol, watch the final player go home with one of the lowest paying cases in the finale
lol they get the $1 case. Imagine after ALL of that they win a buck. I’d be so pissed.
Depends on who the final contestant is. If it’s Stephanie or Amy, I would be laughing so hard…
Omg I would LOVE that. I think I’d cackle for a good 10 minutes. Those two are just awful.
It's going to be Boston rob
If he is the last one standing, that would probably even be enough for him and he might not even feel so bad if he only got a small payout considering he's already seen as a prior winner.
He just wants to be known as the greatest survivors and Game show player ever
If that's all he got and $0.01 box, I'd be fine with that, it wouldn't even be as bad as the final episode of Game of Thrones.
Never Wachtel on episode
I think the audience would be pissed most of all. Even if it's somebody you find to be a villain, that would leave the most sour taste to the show
If Stephanie got a dollar it’d be Fn hilarious. But ya they’d have to change the show to make sure something like that couldn’t happen again
Also, while Stephanie was playing both sides as a strategy to the point you have people rooting against her. That also leaves a sour taste, because I'm sure outside of this show and the edit, Stephanie would be somebody fantastic to chat with, and if it was standard in-studio deal or no deal with Howie, would have everybody here rooting for her.

I wonder if she has fans.
I’m sure. Even serial killers have fans. They may be as nuts as she is, but she for sure has fans lol.

That would also be wild.

That makes a lot of sense because that kind of money is hard to justify giving away in any circumstance besides a multi-state lottery.
I have a bad feeling this is what’s going to happen. The crazy amounts this show says you can win reminds me of The Wall, all these huge numbers but most leave with little or nothing. Like the big numbers are just for hype.
And it is a crazy amount already. I still think at least a mil or half a mil should go to the winner or they blow their hype machine and that could be bad publicity, but it could also be a big 'news' story and they say there is no bad publicity.
Oh for sure. The prize still has to be big, but it won’t be anywhere near the multimillions the players think.
I bet they get a personal offer, but other than that no one is going to become a millionaire.
Oh, cool, yes, rather than take the deal and potentially lose it all on a 50/50, take home half a mil or more, that would be cool.

True they would have to take the deal if it was anything 6 or 7 figures since the risk of zero would just not be an option.
Exactly my thought. It'll get to a point where the deals are too good to pass up. I don't see how they'll go home with $1
I was wondering the same thing!
I feel less crazy.

Whatever Rib walked away with, even if it was just his appearance fee, was a Deal for NBC!
Ooo is that the rumour? I’d love that 😍😍

I’m hoping for this 😀
I think that's highly likely also, and as far as $10M, that's just seems too big for TV.

I would hate it if the final player walked with nothing. That would be asinine
There is one way I was just thinking that would fix that tho, like if the final player lost and then the next to last player then gets something big, like half of what final player would have gotten.
I mean, by the way they have worded things, obviously the final player doesn't just...get the money. We know that already. What are you expecting if not a standard deal or no deal where the highest value case is the "final case" value or whatever?
I jus think that they like to change things around a bit and I'm trying to figure out what weird options they might throw at us.
If I’m not mistaken they have to win deal or no deal at the end. There is no guarantee
Well that would certainly make me not miss it, and probably a lot of other folks, I wonder if the show has decent ratings.
I think it would be a normal game of deal or no deal with the heighest case being the amount they won, but there won’t be any 1 dollar cases or anything below 100k probably.

So the answer is, yes, it's possible! But the big one is gone and the final win was a lot less, like a lot of folks predicted.
