After 5 or 6 episodes it just feels like the same story in different venues. Not saying that learning about tournament play/strategies isn't fascinating...It is.
The Brooklyn cowboy's schtick gets old. He knows it all.
Beychock seems like a cool, aw-shucks type of guy.
Matt's role needs more attention in my opinion. Would have liked to have seen how he hooks up with the ex-governor's daughter after the day at Keeneland.
The father/son duo are fun to watch. But how many times will we see them slapping the programs, in perfect cadence, against their hands?
Conte is another one who hardly gets any play. His dry humor is terrific, as well as his old school approach. I'd love to sit at Don Pepe's with him and hear his countless stories. (all while schmearing the bread in the clams oreganata broth)
Helmers is the show. I get it. His tournament play is so unique and he resembles Brad Pitt.
