As much as it pains me to say it, even poker has entered the same class of Big Brother, Survivor, Rock of Love, Daisy of Love, and a whole host of other terrible reality TV shows. The Best Damn Poker Show is what propelled poker into this class although I will give the show credit for being far better than the aforementioned reality TV shows. And it looks as if poker is ready to enter into the reality TV world once more with a new show that will revolve around the world of online poker.
The program is going to be called “2 Months, 2 Million” and it is set to feature 10 episodes of 4 online players trying to earn $2 million in just 2 months time. The show’s producers have said that they plan to target males ages 18 to 34 with this show because that’s the demographic they believe loves playing online poker so much.
The online players who will try to pull together to make the $2 million are Jason “pr1nnyraid” Rosenkrantz, Emil “whitelime” Patel, Brian “Flawless_Victory” Roberts, and Dani “Ansky” Stern. A couple of these players have had some pretty good accomplishments in the poker world, including Patel who nearly make a WSOP final table. However, none of these players consistently crushes their competition in online poker which should make for a very interesting show as they go for the $2 million.
Aside from just the playing aspect, 2 Months, $2 Million also hopes to shed some light on the lifestyle of a professional online poker player. I’ve personally seen the lifestyle first-hand many times so I’m interested as to how this show will present it. We’ll all get to see how they do it when 2 Months, $2 Million debuts on the G4 Network.
