Fair or not, a lot of people think regular horse players are kinda greasy lowlifes... The premiere episode of this show didn't do anything to change anyone's opinion of that.

Team Rotundo and the dude with the magnifying glass made me think this could be "the Situation", Ronnie and Vinny from Jersey Shore when they're in their 50s .

They're colorful personalities to watch, but they're greasy as f*ck (I say this as a member of the Walmart crowd, I'm no snoot).
