Title: WPT - ITV4
Post by: Dry em on March 17, 2008, 04:02:09 AM
Anyone caught any of these recently? The commentary has been re-done by Vicky and Roland

Loving the studio bits where an excited De Wolfe does his best John McCririck impression   ;D

ITV obviously using the same tactics as for kids shows i.e. pump em full of sugar and e numbers and get em hyped up. Roland was like a kid at xmas

Dont you think Joe Hatchem comes across as a right old moaner, he was the same at the WSOP as far as I could see on ESPN.
I think Roland was thinking the same in some of his comments
When the guy was all in with AQ vs Joes QQ and the guy hit an A on the turn, joe went mad and picked up a few of his chips and looked like his was going to throw them at the dealer. Of cause the river brought the case Q and he was all smiles again

Dont think this is good TV at all.

Seems like an abs crapshoot and dull to watch compared to things like HSP & PAD.

yes, it appears the tv company takes over when it gets to last 6.

The players have screamed about the final table structures for a long time. WPT countered that it's expensive to televise slow structure final tables (hours of setting up and taking down of sets and cameras before and after the action), and by the way the reason there's so much money to win in these events is because of us.

Apparently they have slowed them down in the current season which starts to air in the States before too long. Two or three of the final tables are even going to be shown across a couple of shows each. I guess we'll see for sure what impact it's had on the viewing when the first one downloads in the next few weeks.
