WHEEL........OF........FORTUNE!!!!!! And here's your hostess, Miss Vanna White!!!!!.......and then she goes forward, does a quick spin, shows that ass, then goes on to put that awesome female intellect to good use by touching monitor screens when told to do so by a visual promptor! Ah yes, no argument there....sex object!!!!! Game shows have been putting this little ratings generator to good use since the stone age when Bob Barker had his "Barkers Beauties". I think most men in the audience (who, by the way, never had an IQ score # that exceeded the fair price of an 8.5 oz tin of Del Monte Sweet Peas....or about 69 cents) looked forward to the portion of the show where one of Barkers beauties donned swimwear and posed alluringly on a watercraft vehicle of some make or another.

Ah yes, times have changed, Barker has retired, Vanna White has aged, but game shows still use the same dated technique to draw in the male (and, I suppose, the lesbian) viewer.ENTER: Deal or No Deal! My, my, what's the first thing the viewer notices here. It's cetainly not Howie Mandells shiny head, but twenty-one beauties showing plenty of leg and cleavage while showing off their remarkable talent for holding pieces of cardboard or opening suitcases. It's the same thing as the "Vanna White" concept, just multiplied 21 times...
