[edit] Your Deal or No Deal Tidbit.

First of all, I just want to say that I do appreciate your inputs not just on the penny thing, but on other parts of this DOND page. I do my best to verify all my information before I share it on wikipedia. But I do suspect that I may not always type the correct information like cash amounts, dates, contestants’ names, or even spelling & grammar. So any help I can get would be great.

With that said, I like to talk about the penny tidbit that you seem adamant about including on here. You said that, “The penny was still in the game at this point, with only a few cases left.” I’m thinking to myself, how does this information pertain to the gifts that were being giving away? It wasn’t my intention to call you out on this. But I just can’t seem to wrap my head around this and figure out how it’s relevant.

The one reason you gave us...(it does, however, explain why the banker gave away the penny, other than simply "random acts of (un)kindness"). I have to be honest with you. I disagree with that argument. You're telling us that the reason the banker gave away a penny was because it was simply still in play at the time? Forgive me for being hysterical, but where the heck did you come up with that reasoning?

Anyway, I got to hear your reasoning. Now here's mine. First of all, the banker gave away a gift simply because it was Christmas. Even the most not-so-giving people would give something on Christmas. Secondly, the reason why the banker chose the penny as his gift is because that’s the kind of person he is, a ruthless greedy S.O.B. It is NOT because the penny was still in play at that point in the game. $5,000 and $400,000 were still in play too. Why didn't the banker give away any of those amounts instead? On top of that, I have no doubt in my mind that the banker would still give away that penny even if it was eliminated from play early on. Furthermore, lets pretend for a moment that $1,000 was the lowest amount still in play with only a few cases left, when the banker decides to give a gift away to the audience. According to your reasoning, that's the amount the banker should give away to every single member of the audience, if not higher. SERIOUSLY, do you actually think the banker would give away $1,000 to each and every member of the audience? I don't think so. I bet the banker wouldn’t give $1 away if that was the lowest amount still in play. That's why he gave the penny.

Now you see the point I’m trying to make. It’s like the the old saying…"how does this pretain to the price of tea in China?" The fact that the penny was "still in play" simply has nothing to do with the gifts that are being given away, or rather why the banker gave it away to begin with. Therefore, this penny factoid should not be included. I would appreciate it if it remains that way. Thanks. S3884h (talk) 07:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More Penny Talk

It's a lot less likely that the penny would have been given away if it had NOT been in the game at the time. If $1,000 was the smallest amount, it wouldn't be given away even if NBC had the money to do so.

Plus, the caption given by the writer ("A PENNY!! Courtesy of everyone's favorite Banker."), as much as I disagree with the reasoning of this, doesn't fit the tone. 64.91.201.195 (talk) 21:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's a free country. You have the right to disagree with my reasoning, just like I have the right to disagree with yours. Now obviously, I don't know anything about yourself. However, every time you say something on here, I'm so baffle by it. No offense, it makes me wonder how much intellgence do you really have, to put it as nicely as possible. I am going to venture a guess that you don't know the concept of sarcasm. You actually think I was serious in my remark when I said the Banker on DOND is "everybody's favorite?" That they would call him up and invite him over to their Super Bowl parties and birthdays? I don't know what "tone" you're talking about here, but if it was anybody else reading this "favorite banker" statement, their tone wouldn't be as serious as yours, and would laugh it off as a sarcastic joke. But now that I think about it, maybe that's the reason why you gave me so much hogwash about the "penny in play" fact, and now this thing. I'm wondering what's the next crazy thing you're going to say next. By all means, don't stop. You're an amusement to me and everybody else reading this. S3884h (talk) 08:03, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Joker

On the retirement section of the pricing game Joker, why do you think Bob and the fans show "disdain" towards the game? Really, what do you mean by that?.-71.63.42.172 (talk) 21:53, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
