An Interesting Full House at the WSOP?

[wsopin07]

Great idea.

I'd be really interested to see the highs (of say someone winning an event), the monotony of 6 weeks of poker (it aint all glamourous when you aint playing well/winning) and I'd really like to see how the pros handle the real low points.

12 shows is a lot though!

Do you need a night out organiser/lapdance specialist/mascot?

WE WILL POST ALL OPENINGS VERY SOON

Does Mrs C know about this idea?

I could just imagine the conversation:
"Darling, I have had a great idea. While I am in Vegas I will stay in a house full of hot poker chicks and we will film it and show it on the web!"

And my wife won't even let me go to Amsterdam!

As for the idea I would like to watch. My only concern is that away from the tables won't everyone want to sleep? The few times I turn on Big Brother everyone is asleep and nothing happens. I was also trying to work out the time zone as to when i am likely to watch and when will anythign be happening on the show?

no, everyone gets on different schedules based on which events they are playing and how far they go in each event, there is always alot of stuff going on away from the table, i dont think the show would lack content

It is an interesting idea but can there be enough content?
How do you stop it becoming:

"how ya getting on?"
"36,000 in chips, trapped this guy beautifully with pocket kings, yada yada yada......................."
"you?"
"i'm out, some muppet called my AK with AQ, yada yada yada................"

What could you put in the house to entertain the people in it and in turn entertain the people watching?, most poker players are pretty focussed on that, poker, and 99% of what they talk to each other about is poker, and poker conversations are mostly the same except for the people who you are playing and the particular cards at that time.
You need huge personalities (rules out the scandies ) and a schedule of games or tests etc.
People like Marcel Luske and TonyG, Hellmuth etc. would sell it, because these are the people we want to see off table.
Crazy gamblers like Williamson III and their outrageous bets on stupid things.
It is a very interesting idea with a lot of potential, hope it comes off.

  we have ideas to "liven" up the house, play a SNG to see who gets what room, who has garbage duty, stuff like that. As far as all poker all the time I can tell you that I do not have that problem. Also you have things like Mr. Cool and his GOLF game habit w/ the big boys, I dont think content will be a problem. Just ask Flushy, cupcake , and Bobby1, they all have great stories from some of the trips we have been on together

lol no baby   it was good fun, had to give u a tiny bit of hassle over it

[elblondie]

Wow. It looks like Brian has pulled this off... he has dound an investor to put the odd half million dollars or so to produce the show. However we need to sell it to the TV companies both sides of the Atlantic. What we need is more ideas for things to take place in the house.

We will be having a one table satelitte for who chooses which bedroom each week. I think we all know that you would like to see plenty of girlies in the house, but anyone else got any practical ideas on how to keep it interesting?....for 7 weeks !
We will try and get Marc Mr.Cool Goodwin in the house so we get to see some exploits from the golf course.

Oh...and if any TV companies wou;d like to PM me....

...just wait until you see the house. it isn't a house, it is a palace. no kidding.

How about an amatuer or two trying to learn from the best? Reality TV stylee!

[elblondie]

We will make obviously several House Rules
1 boring one...everyone must attend breakfast at least 5 days a week
1 interesting one (hopefully)...any cashes over 50 grand MUST be celebrated at the house, sorry.... at the palace

Sounds to me like the more you 'spice' it up, the more it'll become a entertainment show rather than a documentary on poker players/life at the WSOP.  I'd really hate for this to become a poker variant of Big Brother/X Factor.

One thing I'm unclear of is whether this is intended to air in real time (i.e. during the WSOP) or afterwards.  The things you are talking about (SnG's for rooms, etc) are more suited to the real time, gimmicky format but, to me, this type of programme would work much better shown after the event as a proper documentary similar to Poker Kings, etc (although perhaps the offer to produce is based on the former format as that hasn't been done before).

Surely a group of well-financed gambling types sharing a house in Vegas can produce sufficient 'genuine' footage to make this a series worth watching without resorting to a host of gimmicks which are there merely to play to a TV audience.  The question is do you want it to be (and more importantly is the producer expecting) a documentary or something similar to Big Brother/Noel's House Party?

Hhmmm...good point. We don't want to become performing seals. It is definately meant to be more 'reality' based. However, just for example....
Mr Cool really does go out and play golf practically every day for anything between $20,000 and $200,000... that really happens and will happen this time
Brian really is a complete tornado. He really does drink fro 10 am in the morning and 'incidents' seem to just follow him around. I've probably met him about 30 or 40 times and these have included him wiing a bracelet, knocking out a policeman in Monte Carlo, becoming the most despised player on the 2+2 forum, becoming the most popular american on blonde, property deals, winning 50 garnd in 30 mins playing blackjack, not to mention lap dancing clubs, etc etc etc

I think it's just a matter of getting the right people in the house who are doing something interesting anyway. The likes of Marcel, Daniel N, Chris Ferguson and myself are not really ideal fodder because we will be a bit too focused on the poker. However, Mr Cool, Brian, a Mad Chef and some attractive girls may make interesting watching as they go though the highs and lows of 7 weeks in the Mecca
