An Interesting Full House at the WSOP?

[wsopin07]

Are you going to be able to set up fixed cameras in the house? People can be funny about this as it tends to involve screwing things into walls.

If you can't then you're relying on mobile camera crews which while it can appear more fluid tends to involve staging/reenacting a lot of situations as the crews can't be everywhere at once and this can remove a lot of the realism.

As for the catering, don't bother with a chef, just get yourself a film crew with a good catering company. I've spent a lot of time eating on film sets and some of the food that comes out of those catering wagons is superb, you won't need to bother with using your kitchen

yes, fixed cameras, that will be a key for the webcast

[wsopin07]

If you are soliciting the idea to networks they are going to want more control.  Including WHO is allowed in the house.  Be prepared to hold firm or make adjustments. 

It is a great idea and obviously the poker craze is in full effect in the states so I see it as a great segway to all the other reality shows.  However, you need to look into the legality of it being "your" show and idea instead of being rejected and having a network do their own similar show.

Not sure how much research you have done on this, but you will need themes, character development and motivation, sub-plots, etc.  It won't be enough to just take it to the network and say we have a bunch of drunk, partying, gamblers that want to be on tv.

Great idea - that I really think could catch on, but make sure you develop it completely.

Not sure yet Russ, will see what happens. If I am we sould have a quiet(?) night out.

[ariston]

Quiet nights is all we will be having barring a big win or bracelet. We have made a pact this year and we will stick to it no matter what. In fact I will vow that if any Blondite sees me or Mr Walmsley in any strip club in Vegas you are entiltled to whatever you want to drink and as many dances as you desire (that should make sure we dont break the vow lol). You will have to come out to cheer on me and Julian heads up for a bracelet

now that would be good, but I fear that if one of you won a bracelet the 'no strip clubs' rule would be out of the window and i drink white russians and like 'big' girls   

[ariston]

If one of us wins a bracelet or six figures we are allowed  a night out- extra incentive you see

Hmmm, shall we start a book now on which house member breaks the first really valuable trinket in the house or wait until the complete guest list is known? 

Having scoured the pictures of the exterior grounds i failed to spot a tyre swing hanging from the statues or trees - is this something that will be rectified nearer the time?

I've got to say, when the yanks do bad taste - they do it well  . Versailles on Acid.

Love the kitchen though - and the bowling alley's cool.
