"Deal Or No Deal" Audition: My Deaf Friend



My deaf friend auditioned for the "Deal Or No Deal" game show last Saturday and got called for the 2nd audition, this time bringing up to 7 supporters, including the interpreters. She asked me to be one of her supporters and I went to the audition with her. It was an interesting experience!

Thanks for letting me discuss about this experience! *sticks out tongue at Jared* (For those of you who are clueless on why I'm picking on poor Jared - look at his pet peeves about vloggers here at How do you decide which vlogs to watch? :D ;)


Note: You might WANT to turn off the sounds - lots of noises here! Kids have their day off from school! :) That's why I was making weird expressions 'cause the phone was ringing, ringing, ringing and no one was picking it up!

Whoa! This person is representing the deaf community. Go for it! We are behind your friend. Let us know the result whether he/she makes it or not.

The deaf community needs to have the world to recognize us that we can do it!

Good Luck, your friend.

Cool-- I've never heard of the game (figures-- I don't watch TV!), but it was interesting to hear you describe the audition process.

If your friend makes it, let me know- if I'm not working that day, I can probably be in the audience. *grin*

Very cool! I hope your friend makes it on the show AND wins the money! That would rock for your friend, but also show the viewers that we're just like them. :)

My girlfriend and I ***LOVE*** to watch this show...we sit with our SideKicks and AIM back and forth to each other while watching it!

We have talked about how cool it would be to have a Deaf person on this show - I really hope your friend makes it!

Keep us posted!

What a great opportunity for you to get to experience the behind-the-scene procedure to get on the show. I surely hope your deaf friend will make it! Ohh...I love that game show and it would be about time for a deaf person to get on it!

It is so hysterical about the name sign for Howie..you know he despised shaking hands as he doesn't like hand contact!! Oooh! Sounds like he needs a handiologist!! LOL!

Wow! Good luck! Keep us posted!

I have a feeling that they may pick your friend out. :-)

Seek Geo said...

Wow, thank you for sharing this with us! That is so awesome for your friend to try it out.

That made me very happy knowing this person wants to be part of the show on purpose is to representing the Deaf community.

This is GREAT! Please, please keep us posted! I don't see why not they pick your friend. I can guarantee the rating will boost once a Deaf person take the stage.

Thanks again!

I hope your friend gets in the program. Let me know, so we can come out there to root!

My son's former assistant football coach and almost all football players were on the program a couple of months back. We sure had fun rooting for him but he did not get very far as to winning the money.

Good luck"y"
