DOND has had the dancing with the stars celebrities playing for a home viewer for the last 2 weeks they called it dancing with the stars.
We now have a double or nothing feature at the end of every show now matter whether they deal or play all the way they can gamble all or a portion of wat they have won to get the models to open a big case with either Double or Nothing written inside wateva they gambled they double if it says double if it says nothing they lose wat they gambled.
I can answer questions bout the aussie version for those overseas.
I'm in melbourne australia.

Great to have you on board, it's interesting to hear how other versions of the show compare to the UK show.

The celebrity show's sound very interesting, and it would be great if they tried that over here at some point. Perhaps this could be a way to introduce the show into a primetime spot without affecting the regular daytime slot/show.

In the celebrity version how does the game work? Does the player at home get to make the decisions to deal or no deal, and who choses the boxes?

I've seen a clip of the new Australian show and quite liked the idea of the double or nothing piece at the end, although it looked a bit set-up as the contestant chose if they wanted to gamble and then one case was brought onto the set and opened to reveal if they had won. This seemed to be open to abuse by the production team as they could decide beforehand if the contestant was going to win or lose. Do you know if the contestant gets to choose between 2 cases if they decide to gamble?

hey Kestral
the home viewer the celebrity is playing for has no say in the game they just ring and register ,at end of show they show who the home viewer is. the celeb plays the whole game for them. Still have the contestants holding the briefcases to try and guess there amounts inside.
Also the double or nothing case is brought out before they decide on how much to gamble dont see how it could be rigged they have only had nothing in the case prob 3 times out of 10 so far but the feature has only been on for 2 weeks, wasnt included in the celebrity version.
Didn't like the celebs playing but its back to normal monday, double or nothing, mega-guess will be back glad its back to normal.

Any other questions?
We have a board game available here of DOND look on e-bay think there is 2 board games floating around on there.

Starting from Monday, they will be having the Dancing With the Deals thing again, as the new series of Dancing With the Stars is about to start. It'll gho for 2 weeks before we get back to the normal DOND shows. Just in time for the 600th episode.
