In an interview with Blavity, Claudia Jordan, a former model for Deal or No Deal, spoke about her decision to participate in the new reality competition series’ inaugural season.
“I love anything related to Deal or No Deal, and I’m flattered any time they ask me to still be a part of it, because I feel like I was part of the show from the very beginning,” she said. “I was there from the pilot episode, so I have been there pretty much the longest, so I feel like I would have felt extremely hurt if I wasn’t a part of this show. So I was really happy when I got the call.”
Regarding her strategy, the former track star said she had to come in hot. “I am competitive, but I’m also 50. Okay. So before this, I was like, ‘OK, let me work on my cardio just a little bit.’ I was going to be upfront about my age at the gate to just let people know, maybe that would make them think I’m less of a threat. And I was kind of on the fence about whether I was going to let them know [about my] involvement with Deal or No Deal, if I was going to downplay it or not,” she said. Ultimately, she was eliminated.
