Yes, you read that right. The Banker has a blog on NBC.com. Every time a new entry is posted, I think it's only fitting that someone posts it here for people to talk about it. First entry is up, and I'll do the honors:
3/17/06 pre-game
The "geniuses" at NBC have asked me to write a blog about the show. It's not like I don't have better things to do with my time. Frankly, I'd prefer putting a fork in my own eye rather than waste further energy on any of you.
That said, the show's producers do tell me I get quite a bit of fan mail. Now might be the time to respond to some of the more frequently asked questions I receive. Yes, I am single, and no, working with 26 beautiful women isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Tonight Cathy Hamm the Queen of Spam returns to complete her game. She did great last Monday, but don't be surprised if I toss her like a salad tonight.
All right. What did you think of it?

Hahaha. They really do make him out like a jerk. That's great!

I thought he'd be nicer in the blog, but since we don't know his true identity, we may never know if this is really how he acts in real life. Let's hope this isn't the case.

I think the idea is that the Banker is supposed to be evil. So, I'm sure the blog was written that way.

New entry up!
March 20, 09:41 am
I love how some of you think you've figured out my "formula" for making offers.
Fat chance. The only formula I use is...
Average Contestant = Greedy Pinhead
This is real money, and it's my job to keep as much of it as I can. It's less about math and more about judging character, and reading who's a wimp and who's fool.
And the reason we have so many Play at Home Lucky Case winners listed is because we run the game for each time zone (3 times) for every episode. But you guys are so smart, you already knew that.
Ooh...hatred much?

They play him up as a jerk and it seems to fit the bill, but at the same time, I think they play the part to make him a total jerk so that everyone will hate him. His offers are based on a handful of factors as I stated earlier.

I think though some contestants have sadly fit the 'greedy pinhead' description though...
Not all of course!

Moving on...latest blog...
March 24, 7:13 pm So, pretty boy Brett Kurtz comes back to my house tonight.
Frankly, the break from his annoying "power move" was a very welcome one indeed. Lucky for me, he's only got 1 big amount left. He'll probably blow it.
It's usually the cocky ones who fall the hardest.
And if you saw the episode that night, you know what happened. *nod*

And here's a real job right here. New entry. March 27, 11:07 am
I thought the people who come on the show were the ones who were a few fries short of a Happy Meal...
Turns out the viewers are, too.
Animatronics??? Duh.
I am a living, breathing person whose job is way harder than Vanna's. I am an expert in the fields of psychology, risk-assessment, and economics. What I do is very demanding. Do you think it's easy?
I have to spend hours at a time toying with peoples' lives, eating donuts from the craft service table, and hanging out outside the models' dressing room.
How you like me, now!I'm sure Neko would love to be the Banker when it comes to the models and their dressing room.

Son of a (B-bomb) stole my idea! Now I truly loathe you, Mr. Banker. LOL -- I can't say I wouldn't want to be in that situation.
