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.
Dealer Dave got numerous 20s in this episode, resulting in many pushes and losses.
Close-captioning was not working throughout the original broadcast of the episode.
When Kevin Hart let loose with a string of "shit," the censor missed the mark the first time, but bleeped out all the rest.
Kathy: I'm gonna kick everybody's ass.
Matt: Chris Harrison dripping with phony Hollywood sincerity.
Matt: If either of them lose, they're officially gone. Bye, bye, bye if you will.
Kathy: (regarding her and Kevin) We have an alliance here. We're not going to vote each other off.
Dave: And now Lance is all in for 8 million.
Kevin: Somebody lend me $5000 so I can double down.
Dave: I'll give you Lance's ace. We got a winner.
Kevin: He got 21, didn't he? See, that's the shi(bleep) I'm talking about.
Chris: Could you be a more obvious N'Sync fan?
Chris: That damn Lance Bass just took the lead in Celebrity Blackjack. Damn N-Sync.
Kevin: I haven't won a hand. I don't have... Matt: He's talking to himself.
Chris: Kathy, congratulations. You've won. You have 21... thousand dollars left.
Kathy: This is peer pressure like in the eighth grade. Matt: She's actually correct to listen and she doubles down.
Matt: Chris going minimum, unlike the women on his show. He's playing hard to get.
Kathy: No! Matt: Kathy's about to smack Dave and I'm not about to stop her.
Dave: Kathy, what do you want to with that Joker, baby? Kathy: I wanna shove it up your ass. I've said it three times.
Chris: This, our final rose tonight, goes to a special someone.
