[Self Made]

Next season is sometime in the fall.

I too thought it was a good episode. I don't mind them spending most of 10 minutes on a hand if it's that good. But did you wonder why Benyamine was raising with J2o? I thought he was first in on the button, rewinded to look, and realized they hadn't shown any of the action before him! I hope they don't stop skipping preflop action totally like ESPN.

Gabe mispronounces D'Agostino's name too.

I didn't need to hear DN's sandwich talk either. But I would have liked to hear about Benyamine's weight loss (him and Erika has always been a mystery to me... ok not really: it's the money). Who edits this stuff? They don't have much of a sense of what's interesting to us.
And to repeat for the millionth time, I wish they'd stop covering up the table talk. E.g. the beginning of the weight loss conversation. I noticed that the sound level for the announcers is just set higher than that of the players. They need to hire the sound engineer from Celebrity Poker Showdown. On that show there were 1) two announcers, 2) a tournament director/play by play, and 3) five players, and you could always hear what everyone was saying. But on this or PAD you miss a lot of the conversations (of course the editing and announcing contribute to the problem too).
