Well I'm super excited for all of the announcements. I already signed up for both of the tournaments. I better brush up on my card skills. I'm also excited to see Howie get in on the betting action this year and AJ doing a poker tournament this year. Double the chances to hopefully get a chance to play cards with a Backstreet Boy.

Meanwhile I was starting to get worried that they wouldn't have a Q&A this year, but I was happily proven wrong.

Can't believe we're just 18 days away!!
