June 9: If you take the same thing and put it in a casino in Vegas, way more people end up dead.

You are a contestant on the new Let's Make A Deal Extreme. You have reached the big deal of the day and are faced with three doors. Now you have two options. The first is to take your chances and pick a door. Behind one door is the grand prize: eternal happiness, love, and more money than you've ever seen (it's crazy what they give away nowadays). Behind another door is a huge gator that will no doubt disembowel you in the most painful way possible. The last one contains an illusion of the grand prize which lasts for 5 seconds, after which you are disemboweled by a slightly smaller gator (you get to die with a false sense of joy). Your second option is to walk away with your winnings for the day: $2.38 and some acne cream. Do you try a door or walk away? And what door would you pick if you go for it?

DOOR !
(GATOR!)

errrr??
(Oh, that's a shame. They reserve the biggest gator for indecisive people.)

What kind of acne cream?

I pick door 2.
-crosses fingers-
(You won! Oh, wait... nope. Gator.)

id take 2.38 and the acne cream, always dreamed of clear skin, lol but i dont want to risk being slaughtered alive by a gator on a game show, thats just not me....hehe

So I have a 66% of being disemboweled by a huge gator in the most painful way possible?
I'll take the acne cream.
(Actually it's more like 67% with rounding.)

$2.38 and some acne cream? I'd be more than happy to trade it for a chance at eternal happiness!
(Not even recognizing the existence of the gators... That's bold.)

i think i could do with the acne cream

I'd pack my bag with the $2.38....they can keep the acne cream. I would then whine about it not being fair play with those two gators....

I'd walk away with the $2.38 and acne cream. I'm not going to risk my life.

I'd walk away with the cash and the cream! I've always been insecure about my acne, besides, there's a 2/3 chance that I'll get the gator if I pick the doors!

I would bring a gun with me and shot the aligator and choose another door. And then if they dont let me then I would shot them and take the grand prize =]
(If you had read the rules beforehand you would have seen that firearms are strictly prohibited and that anyone violating this rule loses a chance at the grand prize. It is instead replaced behind its door with a gator of equal or lesser size than the largest one along with a moderately sized crocodile and a copy of Deadliest Catch: Season One.)

Hey, for $2.12 I could buy two ice cream cones at Mcd's. Isn't that eternal happiness?? Besides, $2.38 and one tube of acne cream richer than when I came.

I would walk away. I'd rather make my own extreme happiness than risk losing everything.

if i'm on that show i obviously have no life anyways.. i'd take my chances.. door number one
(You truly have no life now. You just got gatored.)

Um hello? Risk my life? I don't think so. At least walking away I would be happy with my acne cream.

DUH... I would choose a door and pick the one with the grand prize: eternal happiness, love, and more money than I've ever seen.
(DUH... You don't know where it is beforehand. I hope you get the gator.)

I would go for it. If I got one of the gators, I would stab it's eyes, for it would immediately let go (one of their weaknesses!)!!!!
At least I'd have my life!
(I don't think you understand how very large these gators are.)

I'd definitely walk away

I'd walk away with the money and the acne cream. I could buy some chocolate, and sell the acne cream at my next yard sale and buy MORE chocolate! Mmm...

walk away, my life is just fine, i'm not going to gamble it.
good creativity though.

walk away. life is more important than money, especially since there is a 2 out of 3 chance of dying. But if it were a cartoon i would pick one of the doors.

I'd walk away rather than losing my acne cream : )
I really need one cause I have this annoying acne on my face that I really want to get rid of.
and $2.38 is really worth it. I could buy something worthy on eBay

well nothing will happened to your life if you don't take risks..sometimes you have to gamble and accept it if you lost..so yeah bring it on..lol.
(Accept it if you lost. How appropriate given the most probable result... This a great way to model the five stages of grief.
Denial - "Oh, I did not just pick the gator door."
Anger - ""I knew I should have picked door number three! Stupid! Stupid!"
Bargaining - "Please Mr. Gator, don't eat me. I'll give you my Wheat Thins!"
Depression - "I am sad that a gator is about to disembowel me."
Acceptance - "That gator is seconds from tearing me to shreds. Oh well, at least I got on TV!")

(Administrative Comment: Door number three really did contain the eternal happiness, love, and wealth. It's really a shame no one picked it.)
