It is so obvious that the producers are low-balling the contestants with the bank-offers. As soon as a deal is made the theoretical offers sky-rocket. In this way, the producers push the contestant into opening more boxes, usually resulting in a bad case.

I used to watch this show everyday until I started to notice this trend. A recent show made it blatantly obvious when a contestant with 3 cases left ($500, $50k, and $500k) was offered only $87 500. This is cheap and unfair. Its not a game when the rules are thrown out the window. I am aware of the disclaimer at the end of the show which states that the producers have the final say. So the contestants always get shafted with the offers, then, when they do make a deal, they play head-games and make them open all the cases anyway(with fake,huge offers of course). Whats the point of watching this farce?

Think this is bad? Watch the daytime show.
96,000 vs. 1, 200, 250,000, 500,000.
72,000 vs. 5,000, 7,500, 500,000.
30,999 vs. 1, 200, 7,500, 500,000.

The British version is worse.

45,000 vs. 3,000/250,000. It turns out 50,000 would have gotten her out, so the banker got exactly what he deserved.
7,200 vs. .01/35,000.
9,900 vs. .01, .10, 50, 250, 250,000.
50,000 vs. 100/250,000. On the 1,000th show. And we get a moron to mess it all up. (What are you "gambling" if you know you don't hold the 250,000 and will swap boxes to get the one that does? Even ignoring the fact the offer's only 50,000...)
An after game "undeal" worth 17,500 vs. .01/250,000. Again, the banker got what he deserved on that one. How do you lay 13.3:1 odds against yourself?
A final coin flip between either the original 1 or 10, or 0 or 510. That's 46.3:1 odds against the banker. If you're afraid of winning nothing, you'd be an idiot. You only had one pound to begin with in that case...what's the big deal?

You truely have a problem.. Very sad unhappy and the only thing I can keep saying to you is if you don't like it why keep watching???? Channel surf find something that interest you ..... There is a ton of Judge shows on during the day please tape them and watch them at night.. They are full of people that are unhappy about something , anything , and everything I think you would like that !!!!!!! Again I must sugest stop watching DOND you don't like it!!! IT is clear to us all!!!!! Other shows are on just find another show and leave DOND to the people that happen to love it !!!!!! Really it would not upset us if we did not hear or should I say read your complaining .........

I am unhappy about something, anything, and everything that NBC figures out a way to do completely wrong, and that's it. Sadly, almost everything and anything NBC is doing seems to be wrong.

If you want less negativity, then you better hope NBC gets its act together. NBC reaps exactly what they sow, and if you don't like what they're reaping, you tell them what to sow. I already have and they won't listen to me. Whoops, another thing NBC has managed to figure out the only way to do it wrong...

There is nothing anyone can say to you.. You must think you have all the answers and it must be hard for you because no one listens too you and NBC isnt doing anything you suggest, Gosh I hope you real job in life goes better for you...Do you not realize NBC must make the right decissions reather or not you think so because they have great shows great producers and will continue to put out great t.v. shows !!! Guess what Change the channel dude find something you like and that you wont complain about!!!

I've done nothing but tell you the exact truth. Your unconditional love for this show despite whatever mindless things they come up with is blinding. You want to deny the existence of any of the items on the list of complaints?

Your right about one thing I do have an Unconditional love for the show and many others also feel the same way I do.. We don't complain we except the experience of the producers and the intelligents of the casting directors to do thier job and my opinion is they have done a great job!!!
