"I am a non celebrity poker player, get me some outs on the river."
For 6 weeks, 12 newbie poker players are locked in the Sam Trickett VIP room @ DTD. Hosted by Tony Kendall with his assistant, Davinna McCall, the format of the show will be as follows.....
There will be players going in to coach the participants and try to get them to a decent standard all week. At the end of every week, a SnG will be played and the 1st out will be eliminated.There will be bonus points to survive eviction the higher you finish in the game. Another player will also go each week by being voted out by the public. A roulette wheel will also be used to throw up tasks/forfeits daily.
The last two survivors in week 6 will play a 6 seater SnG with 4 poker professionals. Already booked are Sam Trickett, Simon Aces Trumper, Devil Fish and Paul lambert (?). If either of the newbies finish in top two, they take home 1/2 million. The pros will only win a grand.
The whole thing will be voiced over by Richard Orford (who else) doing a geordie accent.
Of course, after the initial success of this 1st series, it will run for the next ten years getting stronger and stronger. Kendall & McCall will cement their on screen chemistry and marry after the 3rd series. Orford will go on to voice over the Saturday Football results on Sky. A participant will also go on to win the WSOP.

Could have a non-celeb pair each week too settling a "real life" dispute poker or non-poker related, although it would help if there was some poker knowledge obviously.
Poker pros could challenge each other too.
One constraint is that you would have to limit appearances to 1 per series otherwise everyone would be inventing grudges just to take on Richard Orford every week.

Apologies in advance if this ends up being a bit loooooonnnggg!! The New Poker TV show "Nuts or Bluffed?" A game of two parts 1st part round one called - LETS GET YOUR TWO IN THE HOLE ! Firstly 4 pairs of players answer 2 general knowledge questions each. Each then get two random cards dealt to them that only they can see (and maybe the viewers at home). Then depending on how many of the questions they got right the following happens: 2 right - they may dispose of both of their cards and randomly gt either a pocket pair, suited connectors, or two high cards. 1 right - they may dispose of one card and recieve a random replacement 0 right - they have to show one of their two cards. At the end of this round we see a flop. On a big flashy electronic board i think with bells and whistles etc. the prizepool is generated by numeric values associated with each card on the board, ie Ace Diamonds might be worth £500, while 3 of Clubs might be worth £15. after five cards are out we can see the value of the prize pool. 1st part round 2 called - ITS TIME.... TO CALL FOR A CARD ! Each team knowing their cards and seeing the flop can specify the next definitive card they want to see on the turn. Each card of the four speciied has an equal chance of being the next card. If a team specifies a card already in another players hand, this defaults to a random card left in the pack, but the players are not told this. Then to change the odds each team answers a general knowledge question, which either doubles or halves the chances of their card being selected, but in this process once again no one is told if their answer was right. Obviously if all four answers were right or wrong the odds would remain the same, but if one was right and the other three were wrong then the one with the right answer would now have 2 in 3 chance of being selected. The fourth card is dealt 1st part round 3 called - TAKE IT TO THE RIVER ! Players in this round either BET, CALL or FOLD. If they BET or CALL they get to see the river card. If they FOLD, they get to start again with a new group of players next time. However, only if more than one team choses to FOLD, after we see the RIVER card only the team with the worst hand survives to come back another day, the others are out completely. Final Round, NUTS or BLUFFED. The surviving players get to use their poker face / bluffing skills to see who goes forward to the final by declaring ALL IN or FOLD. For the players the object is as follows: If you can see for instance that you have the stone cold nuts, then your objective is for all your opponents to press the ALL IN button. If they do that, the player with the best hand scoops the pot. However, if during all this you decide to FOLD, AND THE WINNING PLAYER PRESSES ALL-IN, then the player who presses FOLD gets a percentage of the pot. So 4 playets make it to the end and 3 players press ALL IN and one presses FOLD so the winning ALL IN player gets 75% of the Pot and the player who pressed FOLD gets 25% but ONLY if his hand was the worst. However, ith the best hand presses ALL IN and the other 3 press fold then all four players get 25% of the pot. BUT, if three players press fold, and the ALL IN player had the worst hand he has made BLUFFED and gets double the pot. AND, if all players press ALL IN then the best hand has made NUTS and gets double the pot! So get on and make it. Ric Orford presenting, making those catchphrases his own! Oh, and last longer please!
