I am watching the first episode of "Deal or No Deal Canada" and am thinking that there is a very good reason why I never got a call from them.
I am not interesting at all when compared to these people... in fact I am downright dowdy and boring. Tonight's episode had a Firefighter from Medicine Hat and a female Mountie from Manitoba (Portage la Prairie I believe she said). I am a homemaker from Calgary, though I did put C.O.O. of my home on the application. The Mountie is high energy to say the very least.
I am OK with this, very OK. Watching the show tonight, I was thinking that though I would've loved the money I would've won (tax-free to boot!) I could never have done what those people were. I am not flamboyant or off-the-wall extroverted and that is fine. I like who I am and probably would've put on a show and not been myself at all. As I apparently have been saying a lot lately... "It's all good!"
(If you have the opportunity, watch the next show and you will see what I am meaning about the high energy Mountie! :)
"We are on a journey of desire. But we are not yet home. The fact is, at this point in our journey, we have only three options: to be alive and thirsty, to be dead in our sin, to be addicted. There are no other choices. We must be serious about our happiness." -John Eldredge

Regarding Deal or No Deal
In regards to Deal or No Deal, I believe I will not be a contestant, as the casting calls were for the end of November. Shucks anyway! It would've been fun had it happened!

Deal or No Deal


I have officially applied to be a contestant on the gameshow "Deal or No Deal." They are coming to Canada to film in January and are looking for contestants. For those of you who have never watched this show it is hosted by Howie Mandel and there are 26 (?) cases of which the contestant picks one. In these cases are dollar amounts ranging from 1 cent to 1 million dollars. The contestant then proceeds to eliminate cases starting with 6 first, then 5, then 3 I believe and then 2, and 1 at a time, between the rounds the banker tries to buy back their case from them by calculating the odds of what is left still on the board. And based on what he offers and what is left out there and how many you have left to open, you take the deal or not. You also have supporters who help you to make these decisions who start to talk it out with you about 3 rounds in.
The application process is quite extensive - took me about 2.5 hours altogether, because I didn't realize that you had to include pictures of you and your supporters.
So, we took some pictures of the supporters - my mom and dad, sister and brother-in-law and DH of course. Then I realized that they had to be pictures of them from the waist up. So, nevertheless, they got the group photo, instead of the great couple photos that we had taken. (I'll include them in a blog.)
So, anyway, now that I have told you all about Deal or No Deal, you can always apply yourself. However, if you do, you owe me half of your winnings for "finder's fee!"
