Re: AJ Benza on howard 101 (Being replaced by a woman on HSP?)

another case of messing with a winning formula, it makes no sense at all.

If it's simply so that we can have some eye candy to look at, they might want to consider that the presenters are on screen for about 60-90 seconds during the entire show.

Sorry to hear AJ.

Mods please ban

IF they do it (and I hope they don't), then they should replace A.J. with Liv Boeree.

Re: AJ Benza replaced by a woman on HSP

GSN can burn in hell, stupid ****s. How dare they do this! Gabe and AJ is half the reason I watch HSP. I don't want some stupid ass bimbo ***** screwing up what is an excellent show. I'm going to send a complaint to GSN, I hope AJ sues the crap out of that crappy tv network.

Re: AJ Benza replaced by a woman on HSP

horrible, horrible news.

HSP will never be the same

the only person who could replace AJ would be Ali Nejad, but even then the dynamic wouldnt be the same

goodnight sweet prince

Re: AJ Benza replaced by a woman on HSP

Hollywood is full of stupid scum idiots. They are probably trying to kill the show so they can get rid of it like WPT (not that HSP is of the same quality - HSP is far superior)

As for these talentless suit hacks in Hollywood well ....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCEeAn6_QJo

Oh wow. I never thought they'd actually go through with this.

WTF are they thinking?

Re: AJ Benza replaced by a woman on HSP

WTF NO!

Benza is good and all, but im more disturbed if its vanessa rousso taking over, will make the show unbearable to watch.

Re: AJ Benza replaced by a woman on HSP

Now that AJ has confirmed this I think they should get Annette15 in as his replacement.

She is hot and she knows poker.
