So tonight Anita English got closer to the one million dollar prize than anyone else on Deal or No Deal. The audience whooped and hollared as our black heroine tried to stick it to the man and his evil devil money. It really made for good TV, we were hooked from start to finish. But seriously, at least give the banker a silhouette like Dr Claw from Inspector Gadget. Adds an ominous overtone to what is otherwise a waiting game to see how much longer we have to wait for Howie Mandel to put a surgical glove over his head. Or was he the one who smashed watermelons?

So Anita goes home with $313,000 instead of the $1 that was in the case next to her. Yes, dramatic reality game show television wins as her next choice would’ve eliminated the one million from the game, leaving her with $1 or $50. So good for Anita, it could’ve been so much worse. You could’ve been on 1 vs 100 with Bob Sagat!
