‘Deal or No Deal’ Briefcase Girls Model in Gorgeous Bikini Photos on Instagram

On CNBC’s reboot of Deal or No Deal, hosted by Howie Mandel, the show keeps tradition by featuring 26 beautiful briefcase models tasked with revealing their numbered case’s monetary amount when called upon by the contestant. This season’s women come from diverse backgrounds and interests and are each accomplished in their own right; the cast includes Ph.D. candidates, recording artists, moms, and pageant title holders.

A handful of famous models and actors were once on Deal or No Deal, including Chrissy Teigen and Megan Markle, so it is no surprise that many of the women currently on the show are pursuing careers in modeling and acting.
