First of all I will start off asking what the hell were they thinking about having the final table 4 months from now?! Wow, that has to suck, you make it to the final table, and have to wait that long to play again.
Anyhow, this is my question. What if for some strange coincidence some one or maybe even two people of more happened to be in a horrific accident while they leave Las Vegas and can't return to play the final table? Or even worse, someone gets killed. What are they going to do then, and how would the organizers feel about that?
Or even worse, they all decide to come to Vegas on the same plane and it crashes. Oh, how are your ratings going to be then?
I don't know if anyone has thought about this, or if this has been discussed; but I thought I would throw this out as food for thought.
The odds of not making it back to the final table in less than 24 hours while you're in Vegas are a lot higher than making it back 4 months later, after you leave.
