The first episode of Celebrity Blackjack II is marked by wild hands, unpredictable wagers, and everything from side-betting to cursing from the celebrities. Jason Alexander gets off to an early lead, but finds himself in close competition with Jeff Probst. Probst plays a rather conservative betting strategy early in the game, but doesn't get far with it. He later switches to far more aggressive betting and battles back and forth with Jason for the lead. Meanwhile, Ricki Lake and Steve Howey find themselves at the bottom and struggling to avoid elimination. In the end, Ricki Lake is eliminated on a maximum bet, but Steve Howey remains in. With the stakes high for the final hand, Steve Howey raises his total, while Jeff Probst and Jason Alexander stay neck-and-neck. The game comes down to an unpredictable final hand where with the bets the celebrities make, anything truly could happen.

Fate seems to smile on the fortunes of two celebrities in this episode, dealing the other two a strange hand. Lance Bass and Chris Harrison lead throughout most of the episode, but things twist such that all celebrities have something of a shot in the final hand. Watch for celebrity / dealer antagonism as well as NSYNC related jokes. Betting is very mixed, and the players generally seem to be good strategists.

Another new episode of Celebrity Blackjack featuring a wild group of celebrities who are more than willing to count cards and pull other tricks to win. Nobody really pulls any such tricks, but there's certainly plenty of fast talk, and the game is good. The celebrities all generally play well throughout, making it anybody's game. The final hand has to determine this one.

Terribly wild game featuring drunken celebrities, kissing and more. Two of the celebrities are old-hat to the game, but the competition is strong. The celebrities try everything from begging and pleading to basic strategy cards to make decisions. One finds that it helps, while others find themselves digging a deep hole. As the game gets wilder, host Matt can only cheer on the action as all control seems to go out the window.
E6. Dennis Rodman v. Marissa Jaret Winokur v. Adam Carolla v. Giuliana DePandi
Nov 16, 2004 · 60m
This is a big money game of Celebrity Blackjack in which the celebrities aren't afraid to bet as high as $100,000 or even go all-in. Although Dennis Rodman is supposed to be an intimidating presence, his blackjack strategy proves to be less than intimidating. By the end of the game, one player is out and another has no chance of winning. The game once again comes down to a final hand that could determine a comeback winner, or seal the win for a player leading throughout.
