Shannen Doherty v. Caroline Rhea v. D.L. Hughley v. Willie Garson v. Bijou PhillipsEpisode Number: 4 Season Num: 1 First Aired: Monday July 26, 2004 Prod Code: n/a |
In this episode of Celebrity Blackjack, the cards take strange turns as a player goes from worst to first and a few favorites end up being shut-out. D.L. takes off to an early lead, but when he falls behind with three hands to go, he bets it all and loses. Caroline Rhea develops a weird dynamic with the dealer and an even weirder dynamic with the cards. At first, she just keeps losing and insults everyone from the dealer to D.L. Nearly out of the game, she then bets heavily and wins several hands in a row. The final hand comes down to her vs. Willie Garson, with everyone else out. Although Willie is good gambler, he is so far behind that the result is basically assured. The game ends with a dealer blackjack and Caroline takes home the money for her charity, having smartly bet only $5,000 in her secret final bet.

(during hand 17)
Caroline: $15,000.
D.L.: $17,000.
Caroline: You play blackjack like The Price Is Right! (edit) Caroline: I'm going to stay, and then I'm going to vomit. (edit) Caroline: 17's a puss card.
D.L.: (has 17) Hey... (edit) Matt: More exciting than splitting aces against a dealer six, it's Celebrity Blackjack and it starts right now. (edit) Matt: The dealer makes a 21 with a 2 more than any other card. (edit)
Caroline: $15,000.

Shannen Doherty was the first player out of the game. She left after only 11 hands.
(edit)
In the 11th round, the round which Shannen Doherty busted out, Caroline was also in danger of busting out with a low amount. She won her bet and continued winning the rest of the night, finishing with $170,000.
(edit)
D.L.: I feel like William Hung. I won, but I lost.
After busting out and joining hosts Alex and Matt, D.L. compares himself to the American Idol singer who gained a strange sort of fame following an amusingly awful rendition of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs." (edit) Caroline: You are the person on The Price is Right who goes up by $1.
Caroline complains in this episode that D.L.'s betting strategy is similar to a common bidding tactic on the popular game show: if you're the last person to bid on an item you believe everyone has bet much too low on, you go up by $1 to have better chance of winning without overbidding. (edit)
