Potential Deal or No Deal Season 2 spoilers are making their way online, as fans begin to speculate who will walk away from the series as the winner.
The hit reality show, which is a spin-off of the briefcase-opening series from the mid-2000s, sees contestants compete in challenges on an island in the Caribbean, finding briefcases along the way in hopes of winning a massive cumulative cash prize.
Season 2 is hosted again by former DC star Joe Manganiello, featuring competitors from all walks of life including seasoned yoga instructors, well-known doctors, and so many more.
Who Will Win Deal or No Deal Island Season 2?
Several episodes in, fans seem to think they may know who is going to win Deal or No Deal Island Season 2.
This spoiler-filled speculation comes to light as the show reaches its halfway mark.
Thus far in the series, fans have been introduced to this season's colorful cast of characters as they embark on the show's unique mix of Survivor-like challenges with the wealth accumulation of a game show like Wheel of Fortune.
Six weeks in, there are only 10 contestants left on the island, so far, fan favorites like Sydnee, Rock, and Storm have all left the island as the prize pool continues to climb.
Among these remaining competitors, there are a couple of names that have floated to the top of potential winner speculation (via Reddit):
LaShell
Most of the cases for who will make it far in Deal or No Deal Island Season 2 come from the contestant's presence in the series so far. Typically these sort of reality show contestants' stories are edited in a certain way to fall into particular categories/stereotypes that bounce from series to series.
LaShell has been a popular finalist (and potentially winner) selection because of this. Thus far in the series, LaShell has appeared prominently in almost every episode without ever being the primary focus. This could give her a strong case for winning the whole thing from an editing standpoint.
While she has not thrived in the game's physical challenges, she continues to soldier on nonetheless, leaving every major obstacle largely unscathed.
David
When talking about the Deal or No Deal Island edit, there is probably no one benefitting more from the work of the producers than David. David is a native of Australia and a force to be reckoned with.
The former Survivor player has plenty of experience on the reality TV front and has been putting his stamp on the series so far. Unlike someone like LaShell who has been lurking in the shadows of the series thus far, David has been put front and center.
He has received a significant amount of focus in the series, potentially meaning he is being set up to be a big player toward the end of the series (maybe even winning).
Phillip
Phillip's winner case is much like that of David's. Deal or No Deal Island contestant was thrown into the spotlight right from the beginning of the series, getting personal with the camera right off the bat and remaining front-and-center ever since.
Phillip is a teacher from Texas with no reality TV experience, but his mix of brains and brain has proven to be a key asset amongst the Deal or No Deal Island Season 2 cast.
Of the remaining contestants, Phillip has emerged as one of the odds-on favorites to win the whole thing, simply because of how developed he has become in his time on the series, either setting him up to go far or as a plant to devastate audiences if he does go home.
Parvati
If a poll of in-the-know fans were to be conducted on who would win Deal or No Deal Island Season 2, Parvati's name would likely come up more than any other contestant.
Parvati has both the experience of someone like David going for her as well as the amount of screen time so far that is indicative of a potential finalist or winner of a show like this.
The Los Angeles-based yoga instructor has appeared on five separate seasons of Survivor as well as a season of The Traitors. Known for her ruthless gameplay in her as a reality TV superstar, now may finally be the time for her to get her crown and take it all home.
Deal or No Deal Island Season 2 debuts on NBC on Tuesday, January 7 at 8 p.m. ET. Episodes stream on Peacock the following day.
