I watched this last season and the format is quite good but the TV program is edited so you just don't get the drama or enjoyment that we should be seeing.Maybe they should make more shows rather than just put a whole SnG in a 45 minute program.

Or they could just put them in an underwater tank, surrounded by real sharks. Excitement would be guaranteed. Probably even the 'sharks' would enjoy it as well.

i like this show but lately is going downhill with the extra cage rule i believe Ike Haxton helped the show to make this why don't they just play poker .. maybe they think it is more entertaining that way i guess for normal person it is .. but for us poker fans we would only like to watch the game still i am gonna watch . hopefully some more big names will participate in this

Wow good show if you have the time to watch i like sharks and it make the adrenaline rush when you surrounded with sharks and all and you can play like a loose cannon this is what people would like to see, on another note i would like to point out that they would wish to make money so some things might be exaggerated as always in all tv shows , anyway peace out have fun mate and good luck at the tables if you guys are playing poker!

Playing like a loose cannon holds no entertainment value though, that is easily achievable by anybody on jokerstars any given night.

I just watched the first show of this series and it was OK,only half the SnG in the first program though a couple of issues is they seem to miss some hands that obviously resulted in some big chip exchanges. I did like the qualifier thinking she was making a bluff with a full house by mistake as she didn't see the 2nd seven on the river!!

Once televised poker had the appeal for me, but not so much anymore. I always find myself having a strong desire to punch half of the participants right on their face...

Really Bowie???I find a big majority of the players very boring now.The TV producers also seem to think we like the arrogant,rude players but I personally find them a turn off......especially the ones who are clearly drunk. We just don't see the people like Hellmuth,Devilfish,etc anymore who may act rudely at times but their personality overcomes the bad parts.
i saw the first season,and to tell you the truth,i didnt get much excitement.i think that this show was way more interesting for those who partitipate,than the viewers,i think the cage ''script'' was too weak.and if that makes me an oldfashion,its ok,but i dont like new tricks,not like that.
