I watched the first season, because it was poker, and I love poker. But now that it's a 2 hour show, I just can't stomach it. It literally pains me (yes, I said literally) to watch people play so badly and hear the commentators try to justify it. It's not worth sitting through 2 hours of crap to hear Phil gordan say a total of 45 seconds of things I find useful (usualy tell related). I will hand it to Phil though - he does a far better job commenting on the celebs than Mike and Vince do. Those guy are ridiculous, getting all excited when some idiot calls 2 all in bets with his A high and they try to say he's got a read on the other guy stealing and blah blah blah. If they were honest, and commentated for what it was - terrible poker - at least it would be honest. But hearing them get so excited about such terrible play really annoys me for some reason.
