I noticed that most of the contestants on the show are already well off...well dressed, good jobs..what happened to letting normal people like me on? I waited outside all night...did the video..and yet I didn't get picked..let me tell you I think the show is worth a 16 hr. wait..but my chances seem very slim if you choose only people with money or big cities like Los Angeles, Dallas etc.

Dear Banker,
I watch the show everytime it comes on.Sometimes, I think you are not so nice.But, you have your differnt outlooks too.Also, I think theirs a big heart inside that little body of yours.I can tell your a small person with a big heart.maybe I wil get to come play on your show it's just a dream.But,personally I think you do a great thing for people.I am not to good with insults.Your fan BUTTERFLY

Posted by:NameTom | November 24, 2006, 09:11 PM

 

Hello there,
Reading a few of your comments, one particular answer caught my eyes. You replied to a person "cool down, man; it's just a game", or something along that line. Corroborated with the fact that you call yourself a "borderline psychic" it prompts me to ask you a couple of questions.
Well, it is just a game, indeed. However, scanning through the winners' list, one could not but notice that most or frequent winners come from three states: California, Colorado, and Washington. Of course, there are names from other states to ensure the "random" factor, yet the proportion is very small (talking...numbers, eh?). Is there any explanation for this FACT? How much of the "psychic" factor is involved in picking the winners of the "lucky case" at... "Random"? This show reminds me of the same deal noticed on the Overhaulin' show: people from all 50 states + Canada can apply for a car overhauling, yet only people from California are chosen. You guys indeed got the "random" factor down to...perfection. : Wink:
Nevermind talking further about the "surprise" on the contestants' faces when they are pulled from the audience... Coming with "it is still warm" pies made especially for Howie gives a hint for how "surprised" and "clueless" contestants are when picked from the crowd...
By the way, do you need to adhere to "acting weird and over joyous on the stage" in order to have a chance to get on the show?
One more thing: how "random" of a chance you folks give people to get on the show if they don't possess (hey, everyone wants to become contestant b/c of a financial rationale, isn't that right?) a camcorder or don't have the possibility to rent/borrow one, since sending a tape in is the benchmark for becoming a contestant? Some folks (detractors) might ask "hey, dude, what corner of the world you live in since you cannot afford/find a camcorder?"... But I guess I am not the only one mentioning not having a camcorder…

Why can't the person who is playing to win the money get on the phone and you tell them the deal not Howie? Because that makes people assume that you ain't on there? So are you actually on there? Or not?

Posted by:Danielle Finke | November 20, 2006, 09:10 PM

 

I was wondering if the phone really rings and your on there or does Howie just pick it up and no what he's suppose to say? I also love the show and watch everyday its on except the days when its a repeat! Mayb i'll win the money sometime. But so far i haven't.

Posted by:Danielle | November 20, 2006, 09:03 PM

 

How are you able to come up with the items that you offer allong with the cash prizes. For instance the tractor, the doughnuts, aluminum cans, and tonight, the lime green Escalade???

Hello Banker ,
Do you have the one million dollars in cash on the show every night or do you pay all the winners with a check ?
Thanks , Rick

Posted by: Rick | October 21, 2006, 12:52 AM

Posted by:Alija | October 16, 2006, 10:00 PM

 

How do you calculate your offers? I know it's based on the dollar amounts left. But is it something like weighted? Certainly, not average.

Mr. Banker you would have a go for your money if I were on the show, I wouldn't give up fast like some of the other contestants, I would go all the way to the end and come out a BIG winner!!! I purchased the DVD game version, but it's not as good as the TV show, it needs some improvements, but I love the TV Show, Keep it going, ITS A BIG HIT!!

And the show is GREAT! I rate it at a 10! Keep it up, Banker!

Posted by:Nancy Frank | September 19, 2006, 08:59 PM

 

Banker, By far you are the most important aspect to this great show. My question is do you ever think anyone will ever have the balls to take their briefcase if the big money is still on the board.
