Did David Genat’s Massive Win Cause ‘Deal or No Deal Island’s Cancellation?
Season 2's average viewership dropped 22% to 2.13 million as the $5.8 million prize by David Genat sparked fan debate over the show's future.
- This week, NBC confirmed it will not renew Deal or No Deal Island for a third season, and fans received the cancellation news this week.
- With Season 2's ramped-up stakes, average viewership fell to 2.133 million, a nearly 22% drop from Season 1's 2.73 million.
- Season 2 delivered a record $5.8 million prize and a high-profile cast, featuring reality stars Parvati Shallow, Dr. Will Kirby, David Genat, Boston Rob returning, and Chrissy Teigen as banker.
- Some viewers on X blamed the payout for the cancellation, posting `David bankrupted NBC` and `That money would have bankrupted any show`.
- Filmed in Panama rather than Survivor's Fiji, the spinoff followed Season 1 winner Jordan Fowler, who took home $1.23 million.
