Dennis Rodman chose to go with his usual silent and mysterious role and said at most maybe ten lines throughout the episode.
(Hand 12, Dennis bets $50,000) Dave: His (bleep) must be bigger. Matt: It's Dennis with a big "D." Marissa: No (bleep) jokes. Dave: What are we talking about, (bleep) jokes? Marissa: If we just keep saying (bleep) jokes? Dave: An often underused word. I enjoy the word (bleep). Matt: All right, but that's enough about roosters. Let's get back to blackjack.
(on hand 21, Giuliana has the lead; Dave, with a 13, is about to reveal his next card) Marissa: (with a $300,000 bet and a 17) Ok, now bust it out! Give me a (bleep) face! Give me a face card! Give me a face card! Giuliana: (with a $19,000 bet and a 14) Get a seven! Marissa: Give me a face card! Giuliana: SEVEN! Matt: Wabbit season! Duck season! Wabbit season! Duck season!
Marissa: (to Giuliana) It's you and me. (Giuliana gives Marissa the dagger-stare) Matt: Yes! Girl fight! Come on, get it on!
(after several bleeps masking the celebrities' swearwords) Matt: All right, but that's enough about roosters. Let's get back to blackjack.
Giuliana: If I win the championship, I will reveal my secret.
Marissa: I don't know what I'm supposed to (bleep)ing do. Matt: You could start by cleaning up that potty mouth.
Marissa: Can you say (bleep) on cable or not? This is (bleep)in' insane.
Matt: You know you have a gambling problem when you reach for your wallet at a celebrity tournament.
Adam: (trying to influence a Joker decision) Her 2 has a stink of failure. Marissa: Oh, does it?
Matt: This first half of the show has set the blackjack world back years.
Adam: (betting $1000) I'm not feeling it. Marissa: You're getting blackjack, buddy. Matt: (a bit later on) And on his $1000 bet, Adam gets a blackjack.
Adam: Is it cool if I bust? Dennis: You can go ahead.
Matt: More ill-advised Celebrity Blackjack play after this.
Adam: I'm drunk, I'm an atheist, I'm angry, I... Matt: Just described half of Hollywood.
Adam: I have to tell those kids there'll be no farting this Christmas.
Adam: I'm pretty much just looking out for MWA, but if I'm playing for someone else, pressure's on.

Final hand in which Adam Carolla had already busted out of the game and Dennis Rodman was effectively finished with only $9,000 left. It came down to just Marissa and Giuliana, with Giuliana only needing for the dealer to beat Marissa in order to win. He did and Giuliana won the match, proclaiming that she would reveal her secret strategy that would get her banned from all casinos only if she won the championship.
