I never thought I'd say this but I have become very disillusioned with 'Deal or No Deal'. [I do apologise to visitors from other countries because, hopefully, you'll have no idea what I'm talking about].



The problem is that Noel hasn't asked anyone to "focus" for several days now. I live in fear that without this sage advice, one of the participants will lose their footing and pitch head first in to an identical box.
This is a very complicated game that needs a tremendous amount of concentration. The banker, who is closeted, has had the upper hand for far too long. Without the guidance of Mr Edmonds the contestants don't stand a chance. I feel it is very wrong of him not to give his all when advising the person sitting in the chair of dreams. Most of them haven't been out in the community that long and they need all the help they can get.
I'll continue watching of course, just in case an emergency email has to be sent for reasons of health and safety. I am, if nothing else, conscientious.

(I feel I must point out that Noel is Peabrain's estranged brother by another father and an adopted mother, so we're talking about a very deep seated case of sibling rivalry and several pounds of sour grapes. Lo, TG Ed.)
