Title: Aussie Deal query
Post by: MikeK on April 05, 2006, 09:21:54 PM

If a player wins the car during the front game, what happens during the Double or Nothing game?  Is the contestant given the value of the car in cash for the gamble, another amount of cash between $20,000 and $50,000, or must the contestant risk the car?

Good question. I suppose the only way that can happen is if the player picks the car initially and sticks it out until the end, so I would guess that the chances of finding out firsthand are pretty slim.

You really can't risk an amount of money equivanlent to the car's price- what if you lose? They take away your automatic transmission and power steering? I see two solutions:

1) There is an amount of money in the trunk that is not revealed until the car is won, and that is used for the wager, or

2) triplecrown's second solution- It would seem that they would have to risk the car for a certain amount of money or a second car.

Speaking of cars on Deal, was the Hummer from two weeks ago a granted wish, or are they going to use cars as deals on a regular basis?

I would say they maybe don't use the Double or Nothing on a car win... they just end the game.

I suspect this is correct - they don't ALWAYS get a post-deal dealing opportunity.
