Episode Cast and Crew Details

• After an episode with Lance Bass and Chris Harrison dominating most of the game, all four players had a shot in the final hand. Kevin Hart needed a blackjack in order to have a shot, and did not get it. With the cards out, dealer Dave pulld an Ace and asked if anyone wanted insurance. Lance Bass took it, keeping Chris Harrison and Kathy Najimy in the running. Dave then drew the blackjack, making Lance Bass the instant winner. [edit]
• Dealer Dave got numerous 20s in this episode, resulting in many pushes and losses. [edit]
• Close-captioning was not working throughout the original broadcast of the episode. [edit]

• First episode in which a celebrity won on a five card Charlie. [edit]
• A mobile-phone poll in this episode asks viewers to text message their response to the question: "How would you play a 12 hand against a dealer's 2 card?" The results were Hit - 46%, Stand - 11%, Double Down - 43%. The book says that Hit is the best option. [edit]
• Pop-Up Tips Shown in this episode:
  
  Hitting the 15 is 25% more advantageous than standing (against a dealer 7)
