Jean Bellande: Survivor Cast To Include Poker Player
Written by Roger S | Thursday, May 10th, 2007
Poker player, Jean Robert Bellande, (pictured to right) is rumored to be in the cast of the next survivor China. The rumor was posted by Brandon Adams another reputable professional poker player.
This rumor could be way off the charts but it seems very possibly true. Bellande is known to have charisma and would be a perfect candidate for Survivor. People tend to either love him or hate him with his unscrupulous acts at the poker table.
If the rumor pans out to be true Bellande will miss the 2007 World Series of Poker due to filming. While I don’t claim to be an expert on Survivor by any means I might actually watch a few episodes if he is in the cast.
For those who have no clue who Bellande is he’s a nightclub owner who did well in a 2005 WSOP Circuit event. He finished 3rd right behind Doug Lee and Jennifer Harman and walked away with over $200K. He’s done some other WPT and “Bad Boys of Poker” events since then.
Personally I’d like to see someone like Mike Matusow get cast on survivor. It would be fun watching him piss everyone off and get thrown off on the first episode. Actually lets put Phil Helmuth in…..he’d probably piss off the producers and get thrown off before the show even began shooting!
