TV Drama
In a poker game the audience will identify itself in the decision process.
By introducing voting and verbal debate, the TV show modifies the
viewer perception of the decisions making. Through vote drama, the
viewer can participate in an open process where tension builds up.
Before, in a single player analysis case, no extra clues where revealed,
except a poker face. A big amount of money can add some bells and
whistles to the show.
