I am attending a tryout for the US Deal or No Deal. I was contacted because I was in the contestant pool for Pyramid which was cancelled. From what the person on the phone told me, the end game is exactly the same, but the front game is totally different; it will have a more luck-based format. THis would seem to be more consistent with the end-game, IMO. It also is pairs-oriented. As they are having me and a partner go down and try.
If anyone else has more info, please add on to this.
