Hey everyone,
I noticed on one of Thursday night's Let's Make a Deal episodes, that when Monty went around offering contestants to trade to go for the Big Deal, he skipped over a couple who took the sure thing of $500, and went straight to a woman who had gotten zonked.
At first I thought, maybe there was something edited, but it didn't look like it.
Has anyone else ever seen Monty skip over contestant(s) that should have been asked if they wanted to go for the Big Deal? Seemed oddly unfair to me, since I would assume if all you won was $500, that you would go for the Big Deal.
Thanks!

Some zonks are actually kinda expensive.

A couple weeks ago, there was an episode in which one of the deals included something that was hinted at being worth "at least $3,000", which turned out to be a zonk (five sousaphones). It wasn't won, but Monty probably would've went to them first for the Big Deal.

I've seen a couple of episodes on Buzzr where it appears that Monty doesn't go in order. I'm approximating the numbers here, but I saw one where he allowed a contestant who won $900 in prizes into the Big Deal, then asked one of two different contestants who had each won the same $1,100 deal if she wanted to play (thereby shutting out the other $1,100 winner).
Usually when this happens, it seems like it involves the contestant who just completed the deal before the Big Deal solicitations, so my theory is that the staffer in charge of tracking winnings didn't get their cards in the correct order.
