mark burnett was on TV today and said tonight would have the most shocking/painful scene ever in reality TV - he compared it to the Ben stiller zipper scene in "something about mary" and said all men would cringe and all women would sat :he had it coming"

Oh he is sickening, but I can't wait until he finds the Christmas pickle! He loves her deep sexy voice, bwaahaaa!

Oh geez, normally I don't cuss but it just came out in a moment of shock! I am hooked on this show for sure now.

Yeah, too bad in his case "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" doesn't apply!

Singer boy needs to be careful and not whine on his first night, could be a deal breaker. Woo, the boss laid it to him good!

Dang, they aren't going to show us the moment of discovery. Maybe our Canadian friends will see it and share.

Well, well, well...

Mark Burnett finally scraped the bottom of the barrel with this show.

The whole thing is just awful.

Oh yeah Ham, he is the laughing stock of North America and Australia for sure! Anyone going to Vegas soon? Watch out for Chucky! What nerve to go and pick up another man's date (even if it is a shim!)

I didn't like this one too much I'm afraid. I thought it was too staged and lacked a feeling of reality to me.

As I watch this, I just can't help but keep thinking: How set up is this?

The party girls seem too convenient, the horny card counter is just too over the top, and his blonde seems just fine with the fact that he's trotting upstairs with his next conquest..and that one is too conveniently, um...dramatic.

But then, it's moments like that that are supremely redeeming.

It's actually a meh show to me. The visuals are great, but there's not a lot of substance behind it. I'd watch both, but I prefer "American Casino" on Discovery, because it gets more into the story of how the casino works and those who work there itself, and not so much the people who go to them.

Gee. This show was a pile. Very little story, too much "help" behind the scenes. American Casino is a much better show. Too bad for the Golden Nugget. I guess these dot com wonders are trying to give the Palms a run for their money, but these two are no Maloofs, that's for sure.

LOL. I had the 'gal' in red pegged in the teaser before the commercial break. The hands are a dead giveaway to me. Heck, when I first saw "The Crying Game," when I came out of the theater I was asking my friends what the big surprise was supposed to have been since I knew the "secret" from the first time I saw the gal/guy on the screen.

As to the reveal of 'the pickle,' I bet there wasn't one. I think the BJ here wasn't confined to playing cards. Either that or Chuckie likes to swing both ways since the apparent "afterwards" shot was him telling Tina what about her sexy voice.

I agree that this is a very staged show. All it lacks is the cheap American Express promos. Don't know if I'll go out of my way to see it every week or not. Geez, how many rooms does this place have? And the owners just happen to be walking by the doors of that suite and hear the party? Right. And, yes, the girls seemed like hired help.

I think I'll check out the Discovery version instead -- I've missed that one so far.

My dh and his friends enjoy gambling..i enjoy the spa so we have spent alot of time in Vegas and at the Nugget. When the blurb first came out about this, they were looking for gamblers to audtion. I sent the form to my dh and his friends, teasing they should do this. DH saw the show last night and was very glad he didn't! LOL But we did just crack up cause we HAVE seen jerks like that guy out there.

Chucky's laugh as just killing me. My ds and I just kept laughing like him whenever they showed good ole Chuck.

I was disappointed with the show. It seemed too 'simple' for a Burnett show.

Showing the guys allowed in the counting room for the first time because it is so protected - look there's a pile of money... how much is that, hey look here's another pile... how much is this. Wow that was thrilling.

Oh look those young guys are going to have a wild party. I bet they are going to get drunk and disorderly and disturb the peace and break stuff and get arrested. Oh, oh, here comes the new owners up to their door to tell them to keep it down right? Uh, nope.

I bet I feel more let down about the big reveal than Chuck was to find out his 'date' was a guy. Come on his friend tells him at the table after he comes back from his room. Ha ha what a chuckle.

Ditch this and bring back Rocco, Jeffery and The Restaurant.

PCakes, I'm watching American Casino now, and I LOVE IT!!! It's the Valentines Day show, and it's so different from The Casino. It's Great!! I'm going to put it on the top of my TIVO list so I don't miss any more shows. Thanks so much!!

Hey Owl! I rewatched the 2nd episode of American Casino again last night, and I really do like it much better. I would love to take a drive by the Green Valley during my upcoming Vegas trip.

I LOVE all of the main people on the show. I thought the funniest part was the server at the Grand Canyon lunch!! He was hilarious!! It's on Fri. at 7/ct, and I can't wait!!
