'Strip Poker' (USA Network, 1999-2000, Non-Nude)

[Rosenkavalier]

Before I go any further, let me make this completely clear: THERE IS NO NUDITY IN THESE VIDEOS. None. Zero. Nada. So please don't complain when you download them and find that the girls keep some of their clothes on.

There was a short-lived program on the USA cable network called 'Strip Poker'. In it, two girls competed against two guys in a trivia-based variant on five card stud poker. If you want to know more about the game and the show, please see this Google cache link for an excellent overview (the original page is apparently gone now):

I live in one of the areas used for a 'test market' (the Dallas area), so I had the chance to see the show early on. I also, right about that time, got my TiVo. So I ended up recording a good number of programs, both from the local affiliate and the cable network. I then edited them down significantly. As a result, I no longer have a complete episode of the show. So if you were wanting to see the 'game', I can't help you there -- my recordings cut out almost all of the non-stripping parts.

I recently managed to digitize those edited versions, and am in the process of fine-tuning the edits and converting them to files that can fit on this forum (10 MB or less). I wanted to preserve as much of the quality as possible, so it's taken me a while to get this right. The result is that most of the videos will come in three or four parts, and therefore will take a few days to post (keeping under the 20 MB/day limit). This is my first time to post videos here, so hopefully this goes OK. The first video includes my favorite girl of the entire run: Tanya (the one in red). Enjoy!

My two cents - I was personally disappointed with the show, in the sense that I thought it could have been much better than it was. I dont think I saw any "ENF" reactions - which is what I find to be the real erotic element of any stripping game. Indeed, at the end of each episode, *all* of the contestants - even the winners - often proceeded to dance and strip off their remaining clothes, which for me totally spoiled the strip game fun of it. Also, I had the impression the contestants were professional models rather than "real" people and that there was no reluctance at all to losing and having to strip.

It seems, however, that this is the way that the recent American attempts at strip game shows usually go. There have been a couple pay-per-view strip poker games, and they were in much the same vein - professional models who were basically paid to do a striptease - the game was essentially a formality.

I would have loved if the USA Strip Poker game had been done a little differently. Rather than professional models, I would have preferred to see "real" women - the type you might run into in everyday life at the office, in the bank, etc., who might seem a bit shy, embarrassed, reluctant to strip down to their silks on national TV. Some (not all) of the European strip game shows capture this a little better. My favorite is the Italian show that has been posted previosuly here. There is one episode in particular where the woman looks very pissed off and reluctant to take her clothes off. Even without nudity, I think that kind of game would be very erotic.

That was a nice game show. I would have liked to think, after the cameras stopped rolling that some of the girls took off their remaining clothes for the audience. I wish that Jennifer Cole would have participated. Man that girl was hot

I agree that the SP series was not as "ENF" as most of us would like.

Nevertheless, I loved the show, thought that it was very hot, and encourage more posts.

My $0.02.

Quite correct. One of the videos that I'll (eventually) post has the host making a snide comment to one of the contestants regarding her manager.

Amen. I've watched them all, and been completely disappointed in all of them. Each one was missing one or more central elements to the central tenets of strip poker.

Over the course of the series, there were a few girls that didn't fit the typical 'model' profile, where I was willing to suspend my disbelief and accept them as 'real' girls. I'll try to point them out as I go.

While I can't rule out problems on my side, in the past when folks have had problems with my videos, it was due to an outdated XviD codec or substitute.

PS: just to make the scale of this project clear, there about 40 more video sets to post. So, based on posting limitations, this will take several months to complete.

This show was frustrating to say the least. It wasn't just the lack of "enf" reactions....or the overall "fakeness" of it....but also the lack of really good camera angles. At least when I saw this crap on USA network, they NEVER showed a good ass shot...like the girl would begin to turn around to show off her ass while pulling pants down...and they immediately cut away to one of the guys for their reaction. Bullshit. I eventually just gave up watching, because all that show did was piss me off with that.
