My cousin was the manager for the team on Cash Cab and was interested in exploring reality shows on online poker players. I told him about 2 months 2 million and Bet Raise Fold. He wants to go a bit of a different route. I'm posting here so I can get some ideas and also who you think would be good candidates for the show.
Here are some things he's said:
"How long do you have to go out of the country for? That 2 months show followed guys in vegas...I see your situation a bit different: go to exotic country, gamble, party, travel..sort of an MTV wish fulfillment type of show. The story is not so much the poker, but the players. I'm guessing there are more than a few "characters" floating around. Think you might have any interest in helping me develop it?"
"Introvert/social awkward is good. Makes for better TV. Let me do some more research and I'll send you a quick question list so I can get a better picture of the scene (what's the skeleton of the story that everything is going to hang on). Then we can find potential candidates. The next step would be to shoot some video, edit it into a sales tape (called a sizzle reel if you want to use TV terms), and start shopping it around. But that's a few steps down the road. I think this could become something pretty cool. Talk to you soon."
Any input is welcome.

I could see this working. Take four guys and have them travel around the world to play poker online and even live if there is a poker scene there. You have the poker aspect and also the exploring/partying in different places aspect that people like. I'd watch that.
