So, I don't normally watch Deal or No Deal. But sometimes I cannot resist the greasy lure of Howie Mandel's bald head. Tonight, a woman -- who was billed as a NASCAR fan (and thus the briefcases were 'checkered flags'). She even said she wanted to use her winnings to start an animal shelter, so I figured i should root for her. But when she turned down 82,000 and never got anywhere closer, the show became a hilarious example of bad television. At one point she elimnated the 1,000,000, the 400,000, the 750,000 and the 50,000 briefcases in less than a minute. Did she quit with the 28,000 she was offered? no.

what did she go home with? $500. But the best part was that NBC had to spend 10 minutes with this undramatic conclusion since it had a Heroes preview slated for the commercial break.

which reminds me, i have to go get my wife so she can watch the other NBC crapfest -- HEROES.

SNAP!
