does the show get dragged out too long?
It took NINETY minutes for the girl last night to open EIGHT cases.
Between Howie's mumbo jumbo talk, and the 10 minute commercial breaks that occur after every case opening, it pains me to watch DoND sometimes.
When DoND goes to commercial, I can have a shower, bathe my cat, and get back to the TV and it's still on commercial. Jeez.

I think they seriously need to speed up the game a bit. Howie leading 45-60 seconds into a commercial does not help either.

I was very surprised the other night to read they only got through two contestants when I was on another website reading the recap for DoND. I'm also apart of the boards, under a different name, at www.golden-road.net. We all agree there that Deal needs to get speeded up desperately. I know it's about suspense and it's hard to make this game suspensful sometimes, but Howie should find a way to make it suspensful later in the game. Here are my suggestions to speed it up: 1. When the deal is less than say $50,000 Howie should ask "Deal or No Deal" and then we see the contestant maybe take 5 seconds, or even immediately, and say No Deal (or Deal, whichever the case may be.) 2. I think Howie introduces the family waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy to early in the game. I think he should wait until the Deal is over $100,000 or until we are down to the round where we are opening two suitcases before the following Deal. 3. He should also speed the game along until the round comes where we are opening two suitcases at one time, and then slow it down some when we are down to opening the final five suitcases.

^ True that. The game makes no sense with too much commercials. I mean, yes, there should be commercials for the suspense factor, but waaay too much is waay not good.

My mom and I are standing there and when it takes longer than 10 seconds for him to build it up, I always say "Here comes a commercial"!
