| Deal or No Deal | |
Deal or No Deal Island is an American reality game show spin-off of Deal or No Deal that premiered on NBC on February 26, 2024. The show is a unique combination of the original Deal or No Deal format and elements of Survivor, set on a private island. The series is hosted by Joe Manganiello.[1]
Format[edit]
Deal or No Deal Island is a reality game show in which a group of contestants compete in excursions to collect briefcases hidden across the Banker's private island, an undisclosed island in the Panama islands[2]. The cash values of the cases collected during each excursion become the high values for that night's Banker's Challenge (Deal or No Deal). The player(s) with the highest value case in the excursion will safe from elimination and select one of the bottom players to face the Banker in the Banker's Challenge. If the player can beat the Banker by accepting an offer worth more than what's in their selected case, they are safe and have to choose to eliminate one of their fellow contestants. If they accept an offer worth less than their case value, they are eliminated. Each week, the value of the accepted deal or contestant's case (if final deal is rejected) is added to the total final case value. The last player standing has the chance to play against the Banker in a final game of Deal or No Deal for a chance to win the final case value.[3]
Excursions[edit]
Each episode, the contestants compete in Excursions and must undertake physical challenges to retrieve briefcases with varying cash values. Certain challenges may include "red cases," which either permit a contestant to seize another player’s briefcase[4] or contain a minimal cash amount[5]. Contestants securing the lowest-valued briefcases are deemed at risk and may be selected to face the Banker's Challenge. The contestant or team gathering the highest combined case value gains immunity for that evening and determines which lower-ranking contestant will confront the Banker.[3]
Banker's Challenge[edit]
The Banker's Challenge is a conventional high-stakes game of Deal or No Deal between the Banker and the player chosen to compete by the winner of the Excursion. The player goes head to head in a series of rounds, each round opening one or more cases and revealing their values. At the end of each round, the Banker presents the player with an offer. The player must decide whether to accept the Banker's offer or keep their case. If the player accepts an offer worth more than what's in their case, they are safe and must eliminate one of their fellow contestants. If they accept an offer worth less than their case value, they are eliminated. At the end of the Banker's Challenge, the value of the accepted deal or contestant's case (if final deal is rejected) is added to the total final case value.[3] During the Banker's Challenge, the Banker may choose to sweeten the deal by offering the player a personal deal, typically a cash prize that the player will receive regardless of the outcome of the game. In some cases, if the player accepts the deal, they must agree to leave the game immediately.[6]
