Skanked in pub game.

It appears to me that most television is not actually what it seems.

My missus was sitting watching some guff about selling houses abroad (I think it was on after the program about buying houses abroad), and it showed all these "couples" who were prospective buyers, My attention was drawn to one guy who looked familair, and my brain started working overtime - and then I remembered seeing him on an episode of "come dine with me" (), in which he had claimed to be gay, not 12 months ago - yet here he was arm in arm with his wife thinking about buying some italian farmhouse.

its obvious he was an actor of some sort, and the whole program was a scam.....

Classic.
 

i did think afterwards as to whether the showing the Jacks made much difference with
 
Wouldn't you have called any bet? Just seemed an over elaborate way of doing it. 

Aye, I'd call any bet there. Him changing 2 cards means he'd have to have got an approximate 1500-1 shot of hitting the two he needed to get that straight flush..  Though I obviously thought at the time he had one of three hands: Trip Jacks, Jacks Full, or Quad Jacks.

I also thought giving me KKKK with an Ace kicker was silly lol. If they had to give me 4 Kings, then why not give me a 2 or 3 kicker. It's not like I'm not going to call whatever the bet is...

Perhaps the KKKK with an Ace kicker was a back up in-case I didn't see him flash his Jacks at me. That way I know the only hand that can possibly beat me is the runner, runner straight flush (i.e. I can't put him on quad Aces)....

Its not 'most' television....its 'ALL' television.

I worked for the company that produced 'this is your life', among other programs....it always made me laugh how 'suprised' they look when they got approached with the 'red book'......even though I had seem them in the staff canteen a week or two previous having their ego's stroked ny the producers....lol

A mate of mine was aksed to go on property ladder as an estate agent...his girlfriend was asked to pose as a 'potential buyer'.... - i think the only thing non-fake about that program is sarah beenies ****

thats quite a memory you've got there if you can remember the sexuality of actors appearing in crappy documentaries over a 12 month period

My favourite is super nanny, where they get the kids to misbehave for the cameras by promising them ice cream, and then snatching it away at the last moment.
