A Prendre ou A Laisser (Deal or No Deal)

I am sure that many of you have seen this show on television. I started watching this show back in 2004 when it aired in France. The principles are the same, with only varying small details. For example, in the French version, you could win 1 cent or a sock all the way up to 1 million euro. Also, they keep the same contestants around for just about the entire season, so they get to know each other. The contestants live and eat together (drunken nights were frequently shown). It makes it much more personal when someone chooses and loses the 1 million dollar boite (box). There were many a tear shed when contestants left. America's version is much more Hollywood. Instead of 24 regular people, our silver briefcases are held by 30 beautiful models :-) In any case, the clip below shows a woman trying to make the decision of a lifetime. Even though it's in French, I am sure you non-Francophones can get the idea. French TV is so utterly over-dramatic!
