Deal or No Deal Island Season 2: Who Won the Biggest Prize in Reality TV History

Go big and win bigger.

By Madeline Nagler
Deal or No Deal Island S2 Joe Manganiello

Hold onto your briefcases, because reality TV history was just made on Season 2 of NBC’s Deal or No Deal Island.  

Warning: Spoilers ahead!

Who won Season 2 of Deal or No Deal Island?

In an epic finale, reality TV legend David Genat (Survivor Australia) secured a jaw-dropping $5.8 MILLION – marking the largest cash prize awarded in network television history. Talk about going big or going home, right? 

David’s win wasn’t just about the money (though that’s definitely a nice bonus!). He played a fierce and strategic game, keeping his Survivor chops under wraps while forming an unbreakable alliance called “The Family.” Yes, folks, “The Family” – a tight-knit crew that helped him navigate challenges and backstabs. A Survivor Australia champ and former model, David brought his charisma and strategic mind to the island. A dad of four, adrenaline junkie, and all-around cool guy, David proved that if you’re not playing for the bigger prize, what are you even doing here? 

So, what does this mean for David now? Besides that massive cash prize (obviously), he’s ready to take over the reality competition world, and we’re here for it.

Who was revealed as the Banker on Season 2 of Deal or No Deal Island?

Let’s not forget the ultimate twist: Former Deal or No Deal case model and social media queen, Chrissy Teigen, stepped in as the season’s Banker.

Move over Howie Mandel, Teigen’s got the flair, unpredictability, and style we didn’t know we needed.
