anyone seen this new show on CMT? guy cashes in everything he owns for 1 million in cash and takes on Vegas cause they "owe" him 3 million that he lost a couple years back. the guy is a true degenerate in every sense of the word.

given $1 million why would anyone waste it playing carnival games?

What, you mean that 20 minutes of advertising for Las Vegas mixed in with 10 minutes of regular advertising?

At least this "show" is somewhat more entertaining than typical paid programming. After all, who doesn't want to watch a good train wreck?

Ultimately, this show is just going to plant Las Vegas firmly in the subconscious minds of countless CMT watchers as the preferred vacation destination. After all, not only might you win big on your own, but some lunatic millionaire just might hand you a stack of black, right out of the blue.

Everyone here can smile smugly, knowing what a fool this guy is for taking the worst of it over and over and also giving money away on top of it, but in truth this show is all about tugging at the heartstrings of the unwashed masses.

Our man is getting paid by Vegas, no doubt, but it's not by winning at the tables.
