Oye.  Again, I said I like the videography in it.  The show has a very different look about it.

And the show is far from crap.  Something I have definitely learned on this board is that some people have very bad taste in shows.  And then there is me.  :)

Definately true.

I don\'t like the fact that they play a lot of it off as reality when it is scripted; but that doesn\'t take away the fact that it is entertaining as hell.

It\'s not scripted.  THere is a big difference between pushing a scene along and scripting.

Here is how it worked.

THey had a casting call where they asked for people to apply that have an interesting life, interesting story, or are a high roller.  They were offered free everything to come to the Golden Nugget.  They have to gamble though in a small area of the casino and they have to allow themselves to be shot.

These people are in Vegas to play it up for the camera and do their thing.

Now the producers obviously tell the people there who else are part of the show and they interact.

After they get the material, they go back and shoot fillers to progress the story line.  These are the scenes with the owners and the employees.

It\'s very well done for what it is.  It\'s somethig different.  It\'s not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or whatever else you kids watch, but it\'s a good show nevertheless.

Yeah, I guess it is "good", if "good" means "crap" in slang. Kind of like "bad" being "good" or some nonsense like that.

It\'s a stupid show, just like almost every show on TV. I remember a time when TV was worth watching, but now the only thing worth watching is Cartoon Network and Discovery Flight (because they ruined the real Discovery channel with your stupid motorbike shows).
