Each week on the Jack Vita Show, Jack sits down for an exit interview with the most recent eliminated contestant from NBC's Deal or No Deal Island. This week, he speaks with the fourth contestant eliminated, 25 year-old Austin native Storm Wilson.

Storm was eliminated Tuesday night, when Dickson Wong defeated the banker and banked the highest total in Deal or No Deal history. While he had promised Dr. Will that he would send C.K. home, Dickson went rogue and threw a curveball that the entire cast could not see coming. In a shocking turn of events, Storm was sent packing, ending his time on the Banker's Island.

Storm visits the Jack Vita Show to discuss his time on the island and attempt to explain what exactly happened in Tuesday night's episode. Why was Storm targeted? Did his elimination have any correlation to his showmance with Maria-Grace Cook? Why did Storm think a showmance wouldn't paint a target on his back? Who was Storm working with, and who would he have targeted had Dr. Will selected him to play the banker instead of Dickson? What were some things that weren't shown on television, that Storm was surprised to see didn't make the air? Was Storm surprised that he didn't get more screentime? What was Storm's strategy? Did he and Phillip bond over being fellow Austin natives? All this, and more, in a very telling exit interview!

Every single week, Deal or No Deal Island Season 1 contestant Stephanie Mitchell joins the Jack Vita Show to recap the week's episode of Deal or No Deal Island! This week, Stephanie and Jack break down the fourth episode of Deal or No Deal Island, S2 E4, "Throw and Tell".

The intensity continues to ratchet up, as this week saw the season's first blindside. Dr. Will finished first in the excursion, giving him the power to decide which player will face the banker at the temple. Will made a deal with CK at the excursion, promising not to select her to face the banker. CK had been very vocal about the fact that she was targeting Will, so while Will had made a promise to keep CK out of elimination, he still wanted her eliminated from the game. Meanwhile, Dickson wants to play the banker, and makes his pitch to Dr. Will for why he should. He tells Dr. Will that he will knock CK out if he were to win.

Dickson secures the highest case total in the history of Deal or No Deal Island, adding $5 million to the prize pot. In doing so, he defeats the banker and lives to see another day. In a shocking turn of events, Dickson sends Storm home, putting the end to a short-lived showmance. Earlier in the episode, Storm coupled up with Maria Grace.

Stephanie and Jack debate whether Dickson made the right call, or if he showed his cards too early. Did Dickson raise his threat level? All this, and much more, on the Jack Vita Show!

Every single week, Deal or No Deal Island Season 1 contestant Stephanie Mitchell joins the Jack Vita Show to recap the week's episode of Deal or No Deal Island! This week, Stephanie and Jack are joined by Season 1 contestant, Kim Mattina!

Kim made her presence known through her four episodes of DONDI S1. She was labeled "the biggest threat in the game" by Boston Rob Mariano. The threat she posed to the Survivor winner eventually spelled an end to her time on the Banker's Island, but Kim is a longtime viewer of reality television and is one of the most knowledgeable contestants across all reality competition shows. Kim is here to break down the latest episode of DONDI S2!

This week on Deal or No Deal Island, 65 year-old Rock Carlson was eliminated, after he was selected to play the banker by Parvati Shallow. Parvati and Phillip once again placed first in the excursion, giving them the power. Phillip allowed Parvati to take the lead, and Parvati chose Rock, but not without putting on a display of emotions that she was brokenhearted over the decision, something that Phillip seemed to find alarming. With a handful of contestants up for elimination, including Australian Survivor winner David Genat and Big Brother winner Dr. Will Kirby, Rock did not reveal who his target would have been, had he defeated the banker. Rock accepted a deal from the banker with a 75% chance of survival, but unfortunately for him, his case held the high value of $1.34 million, and he was promptly eliminated.

Earlier in the episode, Dr. Will reveals to the entire cast that Parvati was previously on Survivor. This revelation looks like it has stirred the pot and will be a source of conflict and drama moving forward!

Kim, Steph and Jack walk you through the entire episode and discuss it all on the Jack Vita Show!

Every single week, Deal or No Deal Island Season 1 contestant Stephanie Mitchell joins the Jack Vita Show to recap the week's episode of Deal or No Deal Island! This week, Stephanie and Jack are joined by Season 1 runner-up Amy McCoy!

Hot off of Jack's sit-down interview with recently eliminated Syndee Peck, Amy, Steph and Jack have a LOT of thoughts on the treatment Sydnee has received from fans, cast members and editing. Amy weighs in after experiencing a great deal of social media hate from fans last season.

On this week's episode of Deal or No Deal Island, Phillip and Parvati opened up a door that released Big Brother legend Dr. Will Kirby into the game. Steph, Amy and Jack share their thoughts on Dr. Will's rockstar entrance and discuss how they think he will fare in the game. They compare it to Boston Rob's appearance on The Traitors this past week. Parvati and Phillip placed first in the excursion, granting them the power to select between two teams to play the banker in a game of Deal or No Deal. Parvati and Phillip opted to let C.K. and La Shell play, but Parvati wanted C.K. to target Rock instead of Sydnee. Parvati had the idea that keeping Sydnee around could take the heat off of her and David, and buy her some more time on the Banker's Island. C.K. defied Parvati's wishes, breaking a deal she made with Sydnee, and sending the 27 year-old redhead packing.

Steph, Amy and Jack share their thoughts on this week's episode and gameplay, while telling stories for S1! Join us for a very lively conversation!

Each week on the Jack Vita Show, Jack sits down for an exit interview with the most recent eliminated contestant from NBC's Deal or No Deal Island. This week, he speaks with the second contestant eliminated, 27 year-old Sydnee Peck.

Sydnee received the short end of the stick Tuesday night, when a tandem of C.K. and La Shell defeated the banker and selected her to be the next player to leave the Banker's Island. Courtney and her partner Rock, along with C.K and La Shell placed in the bottom of this week's excursion. Parvati and Phillip placed first, giving them the power to choose which team to have play the banker. Parvati and Phillip selected C.K. and La Shell, however, Parvati wanted Rock to be the target, not Sydnee. Despite a valiant attempt to save Sydnee, Parvati was unsuccessful, as C.K. broke a promise she made to Sydnee to keep her safe.

Sydnee visits the Jack Vita Show to discuss her time on DONDI, and tell her side of the story. Sydnee explains how David began flirting with her, and once she found out he was married, she backed off. She thought they had become good friends and confided in him, but was rather surprised to hear some of the comments David made in confessionals, as she watched the show over the past two weeks. Sydnee also explains how she has an autoimmune disease, Lupus, which greatly complicated her time on the Banker's Island. Sydnee shares who she would have targeted had she had the power this week, and who her closest friend on the Island was. She tells a little bit of her backstory and shares about her life before entering the world of reality television.

Each week on the Jack Vita Show, Jack sits down for an exit interview with the most recent eliminated contestant from NBC's Deal or No Deal Island. This week, he speaks with the first contestant eliminated, personal chef and Eagle River native, Luke Olejniczak.

Luke opted to go for a red case in the first excursion, hoping that he would secure immunity. He received the "swap" case, and took a $450K briefcase, instead of the highest-value case. His team finished in the bottom at the excursion, assuring that one of he, David Genat and Seychelle Cordero would be eliminated.

Luke volunteered to face the banker, and rode with his briefcase to the very end. His case contained just $1, and he became the first contestant eliminated. Along the way, he was offered a deal that provided a 66.67% chance of safety, which he declined.

Luke joins Jack to discuss his time on DONDI, why refused to take a deal from the banker, who he would have eliminated had he survived, why he chose to go for a red case in the excursion, why he took the $450K case, who his closest ally was on the banker's island, how he expects his Green Bay Packers to fare this weekend in the NFL Playoffs, and much more! It's an exit interview that you won't want to miss!

Every single week, Deal or No Deal Island Season 1 contestant Stephanie Mitchell joins the Jack Vita Show to recap the week's episode of Deal or No Deal Island, Season 2!

This week, Steph and Jack break down the Season 2 premiere! Jack and Steph share their first impressions of this season's cast, which features three reality television veterans: Big Brother 2 winner Dr. Will Kirby, Survivor: Micronesia winner Parvati Shallow and Australian Survivor: All-Stars winner David Genat.

After going for the "steal" option in the excursion, David found himself in the bottom, along with Seychelle and Luke. Sydnee held the high case, and selected Luke to face the banker. Luke came up short in his attempt to defeat the banker, with his briefcase only containing $1. Just like that, the Eagle River, Wisconsin native was the first contestant eliminated.

Which contestants stood out to Stephanie and Jack? Who were some early standouts, and who do they expect to make a deep run? What did they think of Parvati and David's gameplay? All this, and so much more, here on the Jack Vita Show!

Deal or No Deal Island Season 1 contestants Kim Mattina and Jamil Sipes visit the Jack Vita Show, to reflect on the show's first season, in advance of Season 2's premiere later this week!

Back in May 2024, Jamil visited the show for the very first time. When Jamil was eliminated in the second episode, Jack had not yet begun doing exit interviews with the exiled cast members. Jamil joins Jack for a special, hour-long conversation, featuring Kim, in his first appearance on the Jack Vita Show.

Kim and Jamil have a very fun conversation with Jack about their time on the Banker's Island, as well as the time they spent together in the loser's lodge, after each of them were sent packing. Where do contestants go, and how do they spend their time, once they've been eliminated? Kim and Jamil also provide commentary on the first season. What did they think of Boston Rob's gameplay, and the gameplay of the other members that reached the final four?

Jamil was the show's second contestant eliminated. Kim was picked to face the banker. Upon defeating the banker, Kim selected Jamil for elimination. Kim explains in this podcast episode why she targeted Jamil. Kim was eliminated two episodes later by Boston Rob Mariano.

This conversation was taped the week before the DONDI S1 finale. It got lost in the shuffle with all of the finale content we released at the time. With Deal or No Deal Island Season 2 premiering later this week, we felt that this was the right time to release this conversation, which we've had in the can for nearly eight months!
