Week Ten/Eleven - November
6-7 & 13-14
(C-Note: As always, what follows are
televised-hand-by-televised-hand accounts.
Obviously, since it's only an hour show, most hands are
not televised so you're going to see a lot of jumping of
the dealer button. For more information on this and

Joe joins the rest of the winners in the semis With a
Trip to the Bahamas and a DVD Player.
Week 11 gives us maybe the worst idea so Far for any TV
competition show. They recap the Last 10 shows, but they
also do a Tournament. Most of the show is dedicated to
the recapping of the last 10 weeks and the Winners. Most
of the play was edited out from the tourney going on.
All I can tell you is that some guy named Michael is the
winner, he gets the trip to the Bahamas and a DVD
Recorder. Basically I am disgusted that they pulled a
stunt like this. If you are going to do a recap, Wait
until 13 weeks are done, then recap. Also, Make sure
that there is no Tournament going on that day. Or better
yet, since I know that these are taped in advance, Just
insert the recap show and then next week continue with
the tourneys.
Well they had to do something bad sometime or later.
Anyways, For Chad, Daniel, and Brandi Williams, I'm
Robert W. Seidelman saying, Well I don't know what to
say, Peace. |
