OT: Poker Reality TV Show Proposal

[Al_Money]

please put yves on there.

I rock IRL. My internet persona isn't fully developed as I don't spend a ton of time on the forums. Ship me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Also, I agree that a house full of rich degens sounds more entertaining. Then all of America can love to hate how we can throw money around like trust fund babies.

[tufat23]

nah, from my experience we chuck money around in a very different way to trust fund babies.

imo it would be awesome to see how young guys who make money gambling treat/spend money, everyone who ive ever met tahts not a poker player finds it amazing/weird at the same time

you should try to have at least one old-school player. David Sklansky would be perfect.

also, Brandi would make this show sooo much better.

Yeah, agree with this. You also want a presenter (hot bade ldo) who is clueless about poker (and not rich perhaps) and is genuinely amazed at all the money these guys are splashing about. (She represents what the viewer thinks.) And an interview section where you ask these guys whats the most they've spent in a day, won in a day, lost in a day etc. And have these winnings/losings happen on the show. Online competetions where everyone has 10K bankroll (or whatever, probably bankrolled by themselves, so whatever is appropriate to the stakes they normally play.) and whoever ends up with the greatest percentage gain wins the competition. And the presenter comes on and says, unbelieveable, this guy just lost/won the price of a ford focus in half an hour. On screen prop betting competitions would be good.

But yeah, you also want the voting and the competitions I think. But infusing it with what will be unique and fascinating to a viewer who doesn't care about poker is important.

Have the house somewhere outside the US, i believe there was a Real World: Ontario or something of the sort...its certainly possible to be filmed outside the US, which would take care of all the lagality problems..?

Good point, Tufat. It is quite a bit different, but I think it could have a similar yet more interesting affect on screen.

very good point, and if it comes to that, overseas is a fine alternative (vancouver, london, monte carlo, etc).


also, ive cleared some room in my pm box. it became full after i went to bed.
