Although the results seem rather mixed throughout the first half of the game, they seem to tighten rather nicely towards the end. Suspenseful final hand in which one celebrity busts and Coolio can win with most results, but the other two celebrities are still in it if certain cards are pulled. The pull goes in Coolio's favor and he wins the game after having played oddly throughout.
Coolio: We in the zone like Ashlee and Simpson, Bebe and Cece, Benny and Jenny, Bobby and Whitney, Mickey and Malerie, Donald and Daisy, Billy and Hilary. I hope ya'll hearin' me. Cheryl: Word.
Cheryl: Don't hate the playa.
Cheryl: I just like hearing people say five card Charlie.
Cheryl: I go to Vegas. I double down when I can.
Cheryl: Cheapie Charlie right there. Are you mad at me? Don't be mad at me.
Coolio: I do cheat.
Meat Loaf: Ladies, get out of here. Just leave me alone. Don't touch me.
Matt: Blackjack experts say betting systems just don't work.
Matt: Blackjack just like that for Coolio, yo.
Cheryl: I'm playing the system. Matt: Her system now is to be cute and giggly.
Matt: Instead of a 12, Coolio has a 12.
Matt: Coolio taking a not-so-fantastic voyage south and Mathew's on the button.
Matt: There's a lesson to be learned here, Dave. You can hit 14s into a dealer 6 and still win.
Coolio: Just a big... and attention. Dave: It's cable. You can say it, man.
