Jack Vita Show: Entertainment | Reality TV | Survivor | The Traitors | Big Brother | The Challenge

From May 21, 2024 — As part of our Deal or No Deal Island coverage, each member of the Final Four is visiting the Jack Vita Show for their exit interview! Today, Jack is joined by runner-up Amy McCoy!

Amy took a commanding lead in the Final Four excursion, becoming the first contestant to complete the puzzle. Amy got a head start in the maze, which prompted Boston Rob Mariano to sneak a peak at her puzzle, resulting in a time penalty for the Survivor icon. Amy relives the moment that paused the game. How long was the stoppage, and did it disadvantage her as she was already in the maze? Amy shares her thoughts on Rob's time penalty.

Despite getting lost in the maze, Amy was able to emerge from the maze before Rob, putting an end to Rob's time on the Banker's Island. Stephanie's case contained the lowest amount, placing her in third, advancing Amy and Jordan to the final two. Jordan bested Amy in a final excursion that last just a few minutes, eliminating Amy from contention. Amy shares her thoughts on the final excursion. Was she expecting something a bit more epic, that may have tested other skills?

Amy reflects on the season. She discusses her edit, the Night Owls alliance, why she picked Rob to face the banker earlier in the season, how the game would have played out differently had Rob lost, and so much more! Amy also discusses which women from reality television she has drawn inspiration from, and what she takes away from this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Every single week,Deal or No Deal Island Season 1 contestant Stephanie Mitchell joins theJack Vita Show to recap the week's episode of Deal or No Deal Island! This week, Stephanie and Jack welcome Season 2 competitors, Phillip Solomon and Seychelle Cordero to the show, as they break down the sixth episode of Deal or No Deal Island, S2 E6, "Power Grab".

With this week's episode ending on a cliffhanger, there will be no exit interviews conducted this week. Instead, we have Phillip and Seychelle joining the Jack Vita Show for a full 40 minutes! Phillip and Seychelle provide an inside look at the episode, sharing insights that cannot be found anywhere else! Phillip and Seychelle answer questions about the episode and give us a peak behind the curtain. One revelation from this interview is that per Phillip, Tuesday's episode wasn't the first time CK had cheated in an excursion.

CK got caught cheating red-handed, and offered to play the banker, in an attempt to pay for her sins. Lete placed first in the excursion for the second-straight week, and agreed to have CK go up for elimination. Lete expected CK to target Dickson, but CK threw a wrench in her plans. Minutes before Temple, CK approaches Parvati, David and Dickson and lets them know that the other side of the island has been targeting them. She also informs them of the plan that was concocted one week earlier, in which Maria-Grace Cook was eliminated by Dr. Will Kirby.

At Temple, CK blows the lid off the entire operation, ratting out Lete, Phillip, Seychelle and Dr. Will. Phillip and Seychelle share their thoughts. Were they surprised? Seychelle also discusses her decision not to jump off the platform at the excursion one last time. Does she have any regrets?

Phillip and Seychelle share some behind-the-scenes information that wasn't shown on TV. Later, Jack and Steph share their thoughts on the episode and break down all of this week's gameplay and strategy.

From April 30, 2024 — This week, Aron Barbell became the ninth contestant eliminated from NBC's new hit reality competition show, Deal or No Deal Island. As part of our Deal or No Deal Island coverage, Aron visits the Jack Vita Show for his exit interview.

Aron was the first contestant to face the banker in episode 1. He emerged victorious nine weeks ago, and successfully eliminated Brantzen Wong from the show. This week, Aron was not as fortunate, as his case held a higher total ($3.5 million) than the offer he accepted ($1.199 million), making a bad deal and spelling the end of his time on the show.

Aron started off strong. At the end of episode 4, he was voted the most trustworthy competitor on the show. He had hoped that Miranda would defeat the banker and send Stephanie home for him. Miranda was not onboard though, and blew up his game to the entire cast. Five episodes later, Aron's time on DONDI came to an end.

Amy McCoy selected Aron to face the banker in this week's episode. It was unclear who Aron would have eliminated had be defeated the banker and stayed alive. It appeared as though Boston Rob's time on the Banker's Island may have been reaching its end, as the Night Owls plead to Aron to take a shot at the Robfather. Rob hoped that Aron would finally take out Stephanie, something they had discussed since the very first episode.

In this exclusive exit interview, Aron reveals who he would have sent packing had he defeated the banker, if he feels Boston Rob underestimated him as a player, where he thinks things started to go south for him on the Banker's Island, what he would do differently if he played again, and much, much more!

From May 28, 2024 — In our final exit interview for Deal or No Deal Island Season 1, DONDI winner Jordan Fowler visits the Jack Vita Show for the first time!

Jordan played a masterful, under-the-radar game that had her reach the Final Four without ever having to face the banker, with her name hardly ever coming up by her competitors as a potential target. While two clear factions formed (the "Rob Mob" and the "Night Owls"), Jordan played the middle, maintaining strong relationships with both parties and never finding herself in the crosshairs of either group. Jordan explains how she looked to Survivor great and The Traitors winner Cirie Fields for inspiration.

Jordan completed the Final Four excursion first, securing her spot in the Final Two. Jordan defeated Amy McCoy in the final excursion, making her the first winner in the history of Deal or No Deal Island. Jordan became the banker's final opponent, allowing her to play the banker at the final temple. Jordan accepted a deal for $1.23 million, a cash prize that will certainly change her life. Jordan and her husband had struggled to conceive and start their family. Through IVF treatment, Jordan is now pregnant, excited to start the next chapter of her life as a mother.

Jordan takes us through her time on Deal or No Deal Island. Despite being the show's winner, she received very little screentime, particularly in the first half of the season. Jordan explains what she was doing and saying in the early days of DONDI, providing a detailed look to what did not make the air. Was Jordan surprised at how the show kept her win hidden for as long as it did? How did Jordan feel about playing against Survivor legend Boston Rob Mariano? Who would Jordan have taken out, had she played and beaten the banker early in the season? How much reality competition television had Jordan watched before appearing on DONDI? And who from the cast did Jordan enter the show having mutual friends with? All this, and so much more, in an exciting episode with the first ever winner of Deal or No Deal Island!

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!
