    Great show great host. The only down side is those lame cell phone calls. But besides that Great show.

    I wish one of the contestants would be smart enough to blurt out the offer before Howie tells the contestant what the offer is, Its pretty simple to figure out with basic math skills the bank just offers the average sum remaining.

    I find the show to be very exciting. Especially when the contestants keep you guessing about what they are going to do. I think having family/friends involved really makes the show more intriguing.

    I did the dishes during the commercials. The show desperately needs more speed. One contestant per hour doesn't cut it. Five rounds to eliminate 20 cases then up to five more 1-by-1 won't hold my attention very long. Definitely a show for the VCR so I can see the full hour in about 20 minutes. Go 6-5-4-3-2-2-2-1 or even 6-5-4-3-3-2-2, and cut out the circle of friends.

    Love to watch the contenstant sweat over the decisions...Howie is entertaining too. They have to pick quirky contestants or it would be boring.

    Nothing more than gambling with statistics. Kinda like poker except uncomplicated and impossible odds. Will anyone ever win the $1 million before the show gets cancelled? Probably not.

    I watched it---like a train wreck that you can't resist ! It will draw viewers for a while but will quickly become a future trivia question.

    This show is damn hilarious. It showcases the fact that the world now hates intelligence, so we get a gameshow that revolves mostly around luck. And money! And girls! Are you part of the lowest common denominator? Well, we have a show for you.....

    I like the statistical and probability premise, but it's hard to look past the over dramatized act of picking a suitcase.

    It's only a few shades more adult than, say, playing with blocks.

    That it has been a hit in 35 nations... reveals that there are more international threats than terrorism and global warming.
