--- Quote ---GSN Adds More Blackjack to Summer Programming
GSN is adding two more blackjack series to its summer lineup to dovetail with the March 15 premiere of World Series of Blackjack.
Celebrity Blackjack and World Blackjack Tour will continue the tournament blackjack format on GSN.
"We just finished taping the World Series of Blackjack from Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and each game was incredibly suspenseful through the last hand played," said GSN CEO Rich Cronin. "We are thrilled to be adding to GSN's blackjack franchise by creating these new tournaments."
Celebrity Blackjack will feature 25 performers competing for charity in a seven-show format.
World Blackjack Tour will expand to international casinos as well as the U.S.

All I can say is that I think he's jumping the gun here. At least wait and see if the first one works out before adding two more.

Personally, I think these are both pretty low-risk efforts, especially the celebrity version. For some reason, possibly the fact that I enjoyed Bravo's celebrity poker so much, I think celebrities playing the simpler game of blackjack could be a lot of fun.

Wow. I just don't see it, myself. I'll give it a try, though, and I would be happy to be wrong, but I don't see where the suspense is.
ChrisLambert!:
I assume these are meant ot begin after the WSoBj ends? Given that was only a six-episode event, I assume future shows will follow in the same timeslots. Beats endless reruns, anyway.
