This seems like an awful hard show to sell.

To do this you'd need a good mix of players.

1. Arrogant players (almost all 2+2'ers, easy to find)
2. Bad players for group 1 to make fun of (easy to find)
3. Attractive players so maybe 1 or 2 females somewhere will watch it (probably kind of hard to find if your base is 2+2'ers (sorry guys))
4. Attractive female players for your largest market - guys who think poker is cool but aren't interested in watching a bunch of dudes argue strategy (you'd really just need to hire models and teach them basic poker I think)

also, i think im going to work on some cross-sponsorship deals with stars or tilt.

so that they prize could maybe be something like 50k + one year sponsoring deal (tourney buyins?) or something like that.

i think it would work out for both sides.

I'd be a great fit for this. I already have a made-for-TV personality!

ive been tinkering with episode formats in my head. how's this sound? too complicated? the numerals are minutes... for a one hour episode.

0-15: footage of normal happenings within the house; excursions elsewhere.

15-35: sng style tournament; winner gets an extra prize (ipod, gift card, etc). top 3 receive immunity.

35-40: house footage

40-45: "voting." who ever is voted has to play heads up for elimination. however, the person who is picked gets to pick who he or she wants to play against, provided they are not immune.

45-57: heads up sng (format may vary; nlh, lh, omaha, etc... may be decided by a wheel?)

57-60: say goodbye to who got kicked off; everyone else celebrating.


so is this too cheesy?

fwiw, most 1hr shows are like 42-45 mins without commercials.
