Drink Rum

I've only watched a few episodes of Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown this season, but the ones I saw I enjoyed. The celebrities for the most part are lame with a few exceptions. I enjoyed Dave Foley and Phil Gordon's commentary.

Sadly, next season the show is moving to New Orleans and leaving Phil Gordon in lovely Las Vegas.

Replacing Phil, will be another Phil... a lesser Phil. Phil Hellmuth.

His personality is as appealing as his name. He's easily my least favorite poker personality. He's the biggest damn crybaby ever.

Dave Foley's the whiney personality on the show... whiney but funny. Hellmuth is whiney like a spoiled brat in a mall whiney.

Ugh.

I'm curious as to whether the move has to do with tossing business towards the area formerly known as N'awlins or because the Palms in Vegas stopped caring.

Either way, it's a flop of a flop now.

Although if Foley beats up Hellmuth each week... I'd watch.

Sadly, I imagine the show will spend at least half of the televised time with Philbert discussing why he's better than everyone else. Pyucky.
