Deal or No Deal Island is an American reality competition series that premiered on NBC on February 26, 2024. Hosted by Joe Manganiello, it is a spin-off of the game show Deal or No Deal.
The show features contestants competing in physical and mental challenges in an island setting to retrieve briefcases containing cash values. The winner of the challenge selects a contestant to play the "Banker's Challenge"—a game of Deal or No Deal where they must aim to make a "good" offer on their chosen briefcase to avoid elimination and to add money to a group prize pot. The last contestant remaining plays a high-stakes game of Deal or No Deal to determine their winnings, with the largest prize being a jackpot formed from the total value of the offers received throughout the season, which is valued upwards of $10,000,000.
Format
Deal or No Deal Island is a reality competition in which a group of contestants compete in excursions to collect briefcases hidden across the Banker's private island, an undisclosed island in the Panama islands.{{cite web |url=https://www.distractify.com/p/deal-or-no-deal-island-filming-location |access-date=2024-04-23 |website=Distractify |title=Where Was NBC's 'Deal or No Deal Island' Filmed?

Each episode, the contestants compete in Excursions and must undertake physical challenges to retrieve briefcases with varying cash values.

=Banker's Temple=
The Banker's Temple is a conventional high-stakes game of Deal or No Deal between the Banker and the player chosen to compete by the winner of the Excursion. In each round, the player must open one or more cases, revealing their values and eliminating them from play. At the end of the round, the Banker presents the player with an offer. The player then chooses to accept the offer and end the game or reject the offer and keep playing.
If the player accepts an offer higher than the value in their chosen case, or if they play through every round and their case is higher than the Banker's final offer, they remain in the game and must eliminate one of the other players. Otherwise, the player is eliminated. Regardless of the outcome, the amount of the accepted offer (or the player's case, if the game is played to its conclusion) is added to the value of the Final Case, a prize pot that grows after each game of Deal or No Deal that the last surviving player will play for in one last game of Deal or No Deal in the season finale. If the player gets a record breaking offer from the Banker, he/she may, at his/her discretion, offer a cash bonus that the player can keep regardless of the outcome of the Banker's Temple or the overall competition. In some cases, if the player accepts this bonus, they must leave the game immediately.{{cite web |url=https://www.jsonline.com/story/entertainment/television-radio/2024/04/16/deal-or-no-deal-island-muskego-wisconsins-dawson-addis-eliminated/73340702007/ |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=Journal Sentinel |title=Wisconsin's Dawson Addis was eliminated on 'Deal or No Deal' Island,' but still walked away with $100K.

= End Game =
In the end, the final few contestants compete in a series of challenges to determine the winner who earns the right to play a high stakes game of Deal or No Deal to determine their prize. However, this game is played with the Banker present in-person. While the bottom half of the board has values less than $1,000, the top half of the board consists entirely of cases containing $1 million or more, including the largest cases found during each Excursion. The highest valued case was the total of the amounts won in all Banker's Challenges of the season, which in resulted in a top case valued at nearly $14 million in season 1, just over $12 million in season 2.
In the first season, the banker was revealed to be Howie Mandel, the original host of Deal or No Deal.{{cite web |title=Who Is the Banker on Deal or No Deal Island Season 2? |url=https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/who-is-the-banker-deal-or-no-deal-island-season-2 |website=NBC Insider Official Site |date=7 January 2025}} In the second season, Mandel appeared in a special message in the first episode to pass on the role to a new banker. The banker was addressed with feminine pronouns throughout the season. On March 21, 2025, the banker was revealed to be Chrissy Teigen, who had been a briefcase model during the first season of the original Deal or No Deal series.{{cite web|url=https://ew.com/chrissy-teigen-explains-new-deal-or-no-deal-island-banker-11698764|title=Chrissy Teigen explains why she is the new Deal or No Deal Island banker|work=Entertainment Weekly|author=Dalton Ross|date=March 21, 2025|access-date=March 21, 2025}}

- In the first part of the two-part finale of Season 1, Episode 11 (S1E11), the final four contestants were challenged to navigate through the Banker's Garden, a jungle maze, to locate and retrieve briefcases of undisclosed value. The task commenced with a riddle-solving challenge that would grant access to a map pinpointing the briefcases' locations. Amy solved the riddle first and entered the maze. Subsequently, Rob violated the game's rules by looking at Amy's game board for the riddle's solution. This infraction prompted an immediate intervention by host Joe Manganiello, who paused the game to address the breach. Despite the violation, Rob was permitted to continue participating in the challenge but was assessed a time penalty determined by the duration of time between Amy and the next finisher entering the maze, which was ultimately three minutes. This penalty required him to wait until all other contestants had started their maze excursions before his penalty timer commenced.{{cite web |url=https://www.realitytea.com/2024/05/06/deal-or-no-deal-island-episode-11-recap-finale-part-1-are-you-tenacious/ |access-date=May 10, 2024 |website=Reality Tea |title=Deal or No Deal Island Episode 11 Recap: Finale Part 1 |author=Kim Stempel|publication-date=May 6, 2024}}

Reception

Writing for The Daily Beast, Fletcher Peters felt that Deal or No Deal Island was a "welcome twist on the original romp" and was "easy" to watch, but that the format was a "dreamlike, messy, absurdist concept" that felt like a 30 Rock joke, and that she would have preferred another straight reboot of the original Deal or No Deal.{{cite web|url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/deal-or-no-deal-island-review-howie-mandels-classic-show-returns-to-nbc/|title=Deal or No Deal Island Recaptures the Game Show's Chaos|work=The Daily Beast|author=Fletcher Peters|date=February 26, 2024|access-date=January 15, 2025}}
Andy Dehnart was more critical, considering it "an awkward marriage of two different formats" that "tip[ped] way too much toward Deal or No Deal for my taste", panning the length of the Banker's Challenge segments (albeit admitting that he was not as much of a fan of Deal or No Deal to begin with due to its pacing), and the quality of its editing.{{cite web|url=https://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/2024/02/deal-or-no-deal-island-nbc-review|title=Deal or No Deal Island is weakened by, uh, Deal or No Deal|work=Reality Blurred|author=Andy Dehnart|date=February 26, 2024|access-date=January 15, 2025}}
