    Following in the footsteps of fellow CBS show Hawaii Five-0, Let's Make a Deal is turning things over to the fans. The game show will let viewers vote on Twitter to choose elements of an upcoming episode, including determining the prizes and deciding on the "Big Deal of the Day."

    Voting will take place during a taping on Friday, Jan. 25 (fans can follow along on the show's Twitter feed  or website beginning at 4 p.m. ET), and the votes will be tallied right away and incorporated into the episode as it's filmed. The episode will air Wednesday, Jan. 30 on CBS.

    Host Wayne Brady calls the initiative a "win win." "I'm excited about this landmark show because we're doing things no other game show is doing," he said.
