— Chris sent the following notes from today’s Deal or No Deal taping:
*Deal or No Deal taped 5 episodes featuring Divas Maria and Eve as the briefcase girls and Dolph Ziggler as the banker.
*The word around was Batista was “around” but he didn’t appear as part of the show.
*The episodes should air around the third week of November.
*Promos were filmed at the conclusion of the tapings featuring the three WWE Superstars and then the three with Howie Mandel.
*Between tapings, the Superstars were interviewed and photographed by WWE cameras.
*One contestant, Mikey, wore wrestling gear and a replica belt with a Deal or No Deal Sticker and a picture of Howie on it.
*Another contestant on the stage tried to cut a little promo towards Ziggler, and told Dolph he had, “two words for him – suck it.” The production crew wasn’t sure if they could use it, nor did they really know what to think about it.
*The only WWE product they promoted was Smackdown on MyNetworkTV.
*A few contestants claimed they were going to use their winning for “a trip to Wrestlemania.”
