It's a French show, a 'reality' show being produced by PokerStars. A bunch of candidates are chosen for the show, perhaps half being online qualifiers and the other half going through some other selection process. They all live in the same house for five weeks, I believe, during which time they have to do various challenges that cause them to win or lose chips.

When I was there they had a memory challenge where players were shown flops for just a moment and then asked questions, that sort of thing. Then every weekend they take those chips to use in an elimination match where a couple are knocked out.

It's kind of like Survivor or Big Brother, but with poker. They can't leave, and they don't have access to the internet or anything like that. They are just in the house for 24 hours, seven days a week. What happens is some have poker experience and some less so, and they end up spending a lot of time exchanging strategies and everyone is learning more about the game.

Of course they then have to play each other on the weekends, so they might become friends and help each other with strategy during the week, but they have to go against each other when they play the elimination matches. It's a cool combination of poker and Survivor-type shows, which have a lot of overlap with strategy.

This season they were in a pretty big mansion there in Morocco. They've shot the show in Marbella, Spain before, as well as in Portugal, always finding nice locations for the show which is now in its fourth season.

I was there for just three days as a coach. ElkY was there, too, a couple of weeks before me. I though I might lose my Quebec accent while I was there, because everyone else had the French accent! But I kept it okay.

There were probably 50-60 people there involved with producing the show -- it was a huge operation, and really fascinating to see. It's a great idea and the show is pretty popular, as there is a lot of interest in both poker and reality TV in France.
