Hey everybody. Rob Cessonino here and as one of the world's number one,

deal or no deal island super fans up here to answer a question I get all the time. Rob,

what's the deal with Deal or No deal island? So let me open up

this metaphorical and literal briefcase that holds everything you need to know about deal or

as we refer to it lovingly, Dundee. And I'm breaking it down so easily. You're even going to be

able to explain it to your parents.

Okay.

So you know deal or no deal.

But imagine instead of a fancy studio, we're on this crazy, mysterious island.

Owned by the banker, the ultimate capitalist with a capital C.

Enter our players, all vying for huge cases of cash in the millions

of dollars. The show is hosted by Joe Manginello, who's there to enforce the rules, but he's really

the good cop to the shadowy banker who lords over the island. Each week, there are challenges

where the players are vying to get the highest value case

in the competition. Sometimes the challenges are more physical, but there's always some element

of strategy to how to get the most valuable case. There's also a lot of iced tea. They don't

really ever explain why. Why there's so much ice tea? The players who secure the highest value cases each

week get immunity, which is great because the challenge winner also gets to be the chooser,

deciding who walks into the banker's temple. No, it's not where you go to find inner peace. It's

where our eliminations take place. In the temple, you pick out your

case and then you play a high stakes game of deal or no deal versus the banker. The banker calls in

with an offer. You accept an offer higher than what's in your case. you're safe. You get to send someone else packing.
