Dirty Santa with Howie Mandel. Welcome to the worst experience of your life. Contestants( paid actors?) pick between outlandish gifts. The one who picks the lowest priced gift leaves the show. This last 3 rounds until the starting 5 are down to 2. Then they enter the last round which doesn't even resemble the rest of the game. The two remaining contestants must choose to either "take mine" or "take it all". All of the crazy prizes plus a little cash are wagered in the end. if both contestants choose to take only their own prizes they do just that, but if they both try to take it all they will both take nothing. The other option where one contestant takes it all and the other takes just their own, the one taking their own actually takes nothing while the other indeed takes it all. Before that there is some useless chatter about wanting to give the money to some great charity, and the two contestant agree to take their own prizes and one person gets screwed over by a greedy woman (even if the person getting screwed over is Santa). What kind of a game show makes you watch such horrible dribble, only to have a 25% chance that no one wins, a 50% chance that someone gets all their money and prizes taken from them by a greedy SOB, and a 100% chance that you will hate yourself for watching this good for nothing "game show". There are no games or skill involved in this semi "prisoner's dilemma" designed for greedy, hateful slobs. All I have left to say is this: if I had to pick between the penny in case 16 and this show, I'd say, No deal, Howie.
