Friend of Evo's Lands $600k Modeling Gig on Popular Game Show!

[Evo]

Most Americans know of this game show hosted by Howie Mandel. A friend of the Child of Evo's has just signed a contract to be one of the models that opens a briefcase and supposedly she will get paid $600,000.00. That's just sick.

 

[wolram]

I hate all game shows, one of the reasons i do not have a TV, as you say $600,000 is sick
but that is what TV has come to.

 

[Cyrus]

No Deal!

 

[Evo]

No Deal!

But would you date her?

 

[rewebster]

To earn that much she must have some experience, and know the physics of how those specific cases open

I would sign a contact to do that! What's wrong with that?? (besides the little niggling complication that most of the US would be really pissed to see an average-looking 55-year-old guy up there ready to open a briefcase?) I would like to have a little more clothing on than the ladies, though.

I gave my TV away when I discovered that people can get married to complete strangers on those game shows.

I'm with you, Turbo! I would SO open suitcases for $600,000!

So, Evo, is this girl at all...smart?

 

[rewebster]

That's just sick.

I'm sure your daughter's friend who got the job is thinking the same thing

 

[Beeza]

But would you date her?

What's her #?

 

[Hurkyl]

this game show

I don't think this counts as a game show.

 

[turbo]

So, Evo, is this girl at all...smart?

I know, lisab!. There are a lot of things that I wouldn't do for $600,000, but opening a briefcase a few times a week while grinning like a fox eating $hit off a wire brush isn't one of them.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

There are a lot of things that I wouldn't do for $600,000, but opening a briefcase a few times a week while grinning like a fox eating $hit off a wire brush isn't one of them.

And you would probably look pretty good in an evening gown!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Actually, that is a reeeeally scary thought. [shudders]

 

[turbo]

And you would probably look pretty good in an evening gown!

You stop that! I'm killer in a cocktail dress and heels, but evening gowns don't do anything for me!

 

[rewebster]

evo, are you saying that you WOULDN'T do it?

 

[Poop-Loops]

A friend of the Child of Evo's has just signed a contract to be one of the models that opens a briefcase and supposedly she will get paid $600,000.00. That's just sick.

My prediction:

Game show gets boring in a few months maybe a year or so and gets canceled. $600k to open brief cases turns into $600 and some crack to do porn.

 

[Evo]

So, Evo, is this girl at all...smart?

Uhm, yeah, a rocket scientist.

 

[Cyrus]

But would you date her?

What does she look like?

 

[lisab]

The thing about Deal or No Deal that's interesting to me: The game goes on until it's down to a battle between the contestant's intellectual brain, and their reptile brain. The intellectual brain says, "Stop now! Take the offer - it's $150,000 of FREE MONEY!"

And the reptile brain hisses, "Noooo, there'sssss a one-in-ssssssseven chancccce you could get $400,000! Don't ssssssstop now!"

And the person always listens to their reptile brain. And they wind up with a couple thousand dollars.

 

[Evo]

What does she look like?

[Cyrus]

Which one is she?

(Crossing fingers, don't be blonde, don't be blonde, don't be blonde)

 

[Evo]

Which one is she?

She's new, not on tv yet.

 

[Evo]

evo, are you saying that you WOULDN'T do it?

Hell yeah I would do it. When I was offered modeling contracts they actually required work and weren't that lucrative.

Love it, the Child of Evo goes "well, you missed that chance".

I'm obviously out of touch with reality here, and I'm certainly missing something, but what's the deal with the brief case?

Or is this basically some girl gets paid $600 K because she looks pretty?

 

[Poop-Loops]

Or is this basically some girl gets paid $600 K because she looks pretty?

Bingo. She stands on stage and opens a brief case when someone calls out the number she is holding. That's it.

I KNOW! Why don't they just call it GREED?? Oh yeah, there was a show called Greed. I loved it.

All this show is about is how much people will risk for greed.

None of those girls even come close to this lady!

 

[mattmns]

Deal: I'd wear a small tight dress and open briefcases for 600,000 a year

You guys are shameless, but you're smart.

 

[tribdog]

I'm trying to think of something I wouldn't do for $600,000. Open briefcase in the nude-yeah I'd do it. Hmm, help me out here

 

[tribdog]

wow, someone is quick with the edit. so you'll have to use your imagination on the other things I would do for $600,000

 

[fileen]

I don't think the act of doing it would bother me, but Id be afraid to go home, because my mom would slap me silly. I like money though, and I don't watch TV, so I could easily forget it later

 

[Kurdt]

http://www.nbc.com/Deal_or_No_Deal/models/

ooh Marisa is nice. Now all i need is $600k and a briefcase.

I wouldn't count on it being short lived. Deal or No Deal has been going on here (UK) for what seems like forever. As for the money, yes its obscene for what they do but if somebody is going to offer you that much to stand about then you're going to take it.

 

[Evo]

I'd be willing to open briefcases for only $300,000.

 

[tribdog]

WHAT? Are you on crack?

 

[lisab]

I'd be willing to open briefcases for only $300,000.

Which begs the question: Why did they offer her $600,000 when I bet she'd have accepted half that amount?

 

[Evo]

It might be the going rate for the job. Not sure how many years are in the contract, it could be a total of $600,000 over 3 years, so only $200,000 annually.

 

[tribdog]

Oh, why didn't you say so. There's no way I'm opening a briefcase for only $20,000 dollars an hour.

 

[Kurdt]

I'd be willing to open briefcases for only $300,000.

What a bargain. I'll take an Evo instead then.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

It's a buck a year for 600,000 years. I opened all the suitcases in the house. No luck.

 

[Moonbear]

I'm with you, Turbo! I would SO open suitcases for $600,000!

So, Evo, is this girl at all...smart?

Smart enough to negotiate a contract to get paid $600,000 to stand around in a dress and open one briefcase a day.

It must be hazard pay, I mean, standing up next to those pedestals on those steep stairs in high heels is bad enough, but she could break a nail opening the briefcase!

It doesn't surprise me. Afterall, they'll give away that much money on the show to someone who just stands around choosing the briefcases for them to open, even though the only briefcase that actually matters is the first one they chose. Just pick one, open it, and get the show over so we can get something more interesting to watch. (Does anyone actually watch that show? I watched it once, and think a few neurons committed suicide for doing it.) I don't understand the popularity of the show at all...there's nothing much to watch. If watching that show excites you, you could be entertained for hours going to the local bingo hall and just watching other people play the game.

The fact that advertisers pay the TV network so that folks can watch some person open briefcases, and I presume to look at models, is pretty sad.

Those models have to work long hours! They tape a show, and after they've opened their briefcase, they go out back and get their makeup and hair touched up, then change into their next cocktail dress and heels for the next taping. It's brutal, I tell ya!

I really love the way that some people put things into a perspective that makes sense

yeah--but...





can she open a suitcase?

 

[Hurkyl]

yeah--but...





can she open a suitcase?

Only at great peril to life and limb...

 

[marlon]

But would you date her?

i need to see her first

[rewebster]

No doubt the 600k will probably change her 'attitude' about life (money usually does, --even not knowing her--I would hope the change isn't too negative), and/or the people she knows--their attitude toward her.

It seems money (having more than one is used to, or loosing it sometimes) changes people more than the 'other' things that happens to people (those things that people usually 'define' a person---job, spouse, etc.). It seems to create a 'fame' about the person.

Just having 'money', people avoid other people who they would have gotten to know --if they didn't have the money (or even some who 'come' from money, but still don't have a lot).

look--(even here,) there is probably an extra gallon of 'drool' that was produced for and thinking about 'her'

funny, (money---that is)

Why does having money automatically mean she will change in a bad way?

I don't follow you here.

Just having 'money', people avoid other people who they would have gotten to know --if they didn't have the money (or even some who 'come' from money, but still don't have a lot).

I don't agree with you on that. Do you meet someone and say hi, how much are you worth, every time you run into somebody new?

look--(even here,) there is probably an extra gallon of 'drool' that was produced for and thinking about 'her'

funny, (money---that is)

Not really.


Im not saying the people who get money don't turn into snobs. Some do. But to say that just becasue she's getting money she will turn into a snob sounds like a poor assumption.

If I was suddenly given $600k, I would be the same cyrus - only driving a ferrari. But hows that going to change how I talk to people on the street? Not at all. I met a guy when I visited california that if you saw on the street you'd think was a normal everyday guy. His parents have millions of bucks. He'll talk to without regard to your net worth like your just anyone else.
