Deal or No Deal Island combines physical challenges with the classic Deal or No Deal format, set against the backdrop of a tropical island. Contestants compete in excursions to retrieve briefcases with cash values. The player(s) with the highest total value earns immunity and decides which contestant will face the Banker’s Challenge. This challenge involves playing a high-stakes game of Deal or No Deal, where making a good deal ensures survival in the game, while a bad deal results in elimination.

On last week’s episode, La Shell Wooten, a social worker from North Carolina, played the banker and unfortunately made a bad deal, ending in her leaving the game.

Recently Wooten spoke with SciFi Vision about her time on the show, why she took the game ending deal, how being a social worker helped her game, and more.

Watch the interview below and catch a new episode tonight and every Tuesday on NBC.
