I was just writing the comment for Interceptor in the Gameshow General Election (yes it is in the Top 30) and discovered the following startling fact:
Sean O’Kane is only 45.
Come on ITV, I think you understand what I’m saying here…
Board of Excitement 16th-22nd May 2010
- The Bother Series of Poker Game 8 (8pm UK/1500ET, Sunday, Full Tilt) BIG MONEY! Discussion page is here.
- Survivor (Sunday, CBS) – it’s the grand final! It feels as though it’s come around quite quickly this year. Russell’s a brilliant player, but I would laugh if somebody else wins – Pavarti or Sandra would be my choice.
- Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio Podcast (The Internet, Sunday-Wednesday I think) – This is normally worth a listen anyway, but this week’s is especially interesting because Tim Vine is the special guest, and if that wasn’t enough on its own, he has a chat about his appearance on Celebrity Mastermind.
- Run For Money (Tuesday, Fuji TV) – I’m hoping for a task, failure of which releases AT LEAST 200 HUNT-AHS this time around. Fingers crossed someone uploads it to Youtube, albeit for a short time.
- The Gameshow General Election Results – sometime this week. Hopefully.
New feature!
I’ve only gone and done a new feature on current darling of the French quiz scene, Tout le Monde Veut Prendre sa Place.
Happy Saturday.
Something for the weekend
Thanks to Brekkie for linking to a sneak peek of the new season of Wipeout (you’ll need to sit through an advert and a basketball-based Wipeout ad to get to the good stuff). It all looks very involved.
Also exciting, by my reckoning, is that there’s a new episode of Run For Money on Fuji TV on Sunday Tuesday night. Fingers crossed for a short-lived Youtube upload.
AND! It’s the Survivor Finale on Sunday night, which I can’t watch until Tuesday.

And they said it wouldn’t make it past six months. Interesting to note the average cost per episode will be £50k, I wonder what it stands at currently?
It’s BotherSOP Weekend!
It’s that time again, but this week is EXTRA SPECIAL as Game 8 of the Bother Series of Poker is a special double stake double stack game.
LIFECHANGING amounts of money to be won – deposit now whilst sterling soars, cash out when it inevitably collapses: INSTANT MILLIONS (potentially). Details on the BotherSOP Page. Feel free to come along and join us if you haven’t played with us before.
In other poker on telly news, I notced with some amusement that the Pokerstars Carribbean Adventure shown on Channel 4 on Tuesday night seemed to take its footage directly from webstreaming blown up to television size – really very jerky and barely broadcast quality. Did anyone else see this?
