Seriously, do people who go on that show get told ahead of time to look like fools? If you were ever a contestant on the show, what would you do and how would you act?
If I were a contestant on the show, all proceeds would do directly to charity. (I'm thinking the MDA, only due to the fact that I've worked on my local telethon for two years.) Second, I'd just act as calm as possible. Doesn't that sound like an original idea?

Hey, someone that would be the same as me! ;D But seriously, if I won big money, I'd have to give a good chunk of it to my folks. I love them dearly, and they've done so much for me, so I would love to give back to them somehow. Also, I'd give some money to a charity of my choice. And lastly, I wouldn't celebrate opening low amounts until the END of a round! How many idiots have they had on there who celebrate after like 2 cases, only to open a big amount or two next, and be all sad? Argh!

I'd act as normal as I could. I'd probably be nervous though and would be rather quiet.
If I won a decent amount of money, while I would donate some of it to charity (probably Boston Children's Hospital). Some would go to my folks and my close friends. But I would store some of it away for things like a house or paying off my car at least. (Depending on how much I won.)

I have NFI how I'd act on the show.
As for what I'd do with my winnings, I know I'd set at least some aside for myself, but other than that, I'm not sure yet.

Was once the beautiful Case #9, but then who knows. NBC might bring back the primetime version.

If I was a contestant on "Deal or No Deal", I would be your classy average guy. I'm in my 30's; still love game shows since I was a little kid; and as an adult, I have been working for a bank in the Cleveland, OH area now in my 9th year.
Like Howie, I would dress professionally. Gotta look good for the models!! I would wear a dark/navy three-button suit, white dress shirt with French cuffs/cuff-links along with a shiny bright necktie. Remember in May of last year when former WWTBAM host, Regis Philbin stopped by on the set? He's everyone's example of a classy TV host.
As for game play, and for being a banker myself, I would also have some fun moments on the set of turning myself around while at the podium, mocking the "bad guy" Banker every time he gives me low bank offers, and right before I really slap down that button box really hard, just to say "NO DEAL" to that Banker!!
Being under the lights with a studio audience of over 300 members and millions of viewers watching all over North America, I would of be nervous, of course. Right before selecting my case, maybe I'd be like Howie and say to the models "Hi, Ladies!!", and they would all would say "Hi, Mark!!" I would act as calm as possible, during game play. Howie might throw in a few stand-up comedy related jokes to make me comfortable as a contestant.
If I win a huge amount, half of the money would go to charity (a few Catholic-related organizations in my area, as well as American Red Cross, Kiwanis, Salvation Army, etc.). The other half, I will keep for myself and give some to my parents.
Otherwise, I would just have fun being up there on that stage w/ Howie and the gang, and sharing the moment and spotlight.

That's a great point about dressing well. I would as well, in an attempt to impress the models, and maybe Howie ;D

Mandy, that's a great question. If I won big bucks. I'd probably pay off my family's house and take them on a cruise to the Bahamas. Then, I don't know what I'd do with it. I mean yeah I'd want some of it, but I wouldn't want to be selfish and greedy with it.

I cannot act civilized to save my ass, Mandy. I would be so unbelievably nervous that I'd start cracking tons of jokes and would really feel like a piece of crap when the big numbers get knocked out.
As for my winnings, it's simple. I'd delete all my credit cards once and for all and then put the rest towards a house and a happy life.

No, but I would react like not over-the-top.
