Poker Face (game Show)
PokerFace is an ITV game show, where one person is guaranteed to win £1,000,000. The show was created by Ant & Dec, who also host it.
PokerFace, as implied by the title, is based on the bluffing aspect of poker games. The contestants do not necessarily need to get the questions right in order to win, and can bluff their way through the game and pressure their opponents into folding in order to win.
The show was originally going to be called The Con Test, but the name was changed just weeks before the show began. However, the Australian version is called The Con Test.
Series 1 of the show was aired nightly for 7 consecutive days (the 7th show being the final). Starting with series 2, the show was moved to a Saturday prime-time slot, lasted for 7 weeks.

Famous quotes containing the words poker and/or face:
“The poker player learns that sometimes both science and common sense are wrong; that the bumblebee can fly; that, perhaps, one should never trust an expert; that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of by those with an academic bent.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“In the early days of the world, the Almighty said to the first of our race “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread”; and since then, if we except the light and the air of heaven, no good thing has been, or can be enjoyed by us, without having first cost labour.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
