Duke and Hellmuth Pilots for GSN

[Kevmath]

Reading a press release for some projects in development at GSN (Game Show Network), I come across these two:

[ QUOTE ]
ANNIE DUKE TAKES ON THE WORLD -- The world's best all-around female poker player, Annie Duke, hosts her first television show in this hybrid poker series. In each episode, four amateur poker players will compete for the
chance to play Texas Hold 'em one-on-one against Duke. In the preliminary round, Duke will taunt, harass and kibitz the amateur's play. The last player remaining at the table will play head-to-head poker with Duke in a high stakes
game of bluff, wit and cards.

PHIL HELLMUTH POKER -- Poker star and "poker brat" Phil Hellmuth and producer R.J. Cutler have teamed up to create a new poker series based on teaching amateurs the skills of poker through physical and mental challenges,
both at and away from the poker table. Hellmuth will bring his signature bombastic style to his teaching methods. Hellmuth has won 9 World Series of Poker bracelets, earned over $5 million in tournament play, and has authored
several books and instructional videos.

I bet Hellmuth always makes sure his braclet count is in everything thats written about him.

I think it will be funny as hell if someone like Aaron Kanter passes Phil's career tournament winnings ($5 mil) in just one tournament.

That's just effing wonderful. Reality TV invades poker. Nothing is immune to the Reality TV Beast. I hate that stuff. All of it.

[TeeEffDee]

I can't stop laughing thinking about Hellmuth doing this show.

[Hold'me]

Hellmuth's show will be such a hilarious rip-off The Apprentice.
