Reality TV Week Starts Strong with Deal or No Deal!

Fifteen cases, two contestants, and the possibility of winning a Toys R Us gift card for $1000 greeted campers arriving at camp this morning, and the action just got more exciting. Opening’s “Cupid Shuffle” had us all cracking up – did you see Polo “Walking it to himself”? As campers danced, Princess picked out the best “shuffler” to be our first contestant, and Izzy crossed her fingers all morning as she awaited her turn to crack the cases.

After dining on BBQ beef (and amazing potato salad), we were ready for our first contestant. Izzy confidently chose case #3, and after picking the first five cases was given a generous offer from the banker. “NO DEAL” the audience shouted, and Izzy couldn’t wait to respond to the offer. After more cases and a couple more phone calls from the banker (and one from MY mom), we were disappointed to find out that Izzy didn’t have the grand prize. Our first contestant walked away with three Pixy Stix and a big smile on her face! We added $500 to the grand prize and the audience gasped with expectation!

The afternoon session started with a raffle to determine the contestant, and Elliot raced to the stage to take the challenge. Elliot was a serious competitor and his strategy was to listen to the crowd’s wishes. Unfortunately for Elliot, luck wasn’t in his cards and he won “All you can eat leftover lunch!” Well, I did say the potato salad was good!

Tomorrow – Keystone’s Got Talent! Bring any equipment you need to show us your best! If the action is anything like today, we’re in for quite a competition! (: nar
