Celebrity Blackjack

Sara Rue v. Warren G. v. Carnie Wilson v. Ralphie May

Season 2, Episode 9, Aired 12/7/04

Episode Summary

The celebrities in this episode start slow and kind, but then accelerate throughout the episode. One starts betting big and then is spooked and starts betting minimum. She manages to become a contender later, as two lose on large bets and end up essentially out for the final hand. Plenty of cursing and crazy drunken antics abound in this episode. The results once again come down to the final card with some good betting and twists of fate.moreless
