I've copied over the great intro that Essence posted in the Discussion thread. Following it, I'll post pics and the first questions for the game.

Courtesy of Essence:

New season starts Thursday, May 27 at 9:00pm.

Bravo's hit original series "Celebrity Poker Showdown" returns with an all new expanded series featuring fifty stars competing in two tournaments. Each tournament will consist of six two-hour episodes. The new season will be hosted by Dave Foley ("Will & Grace," "The Kids in the Hall.") with expert commentary from poker pro Phil Gordon.

Filmed before a live audience at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, each episode of "Celebrity Poker Showdown" features five celebrities competing against each other for a piece of the $250,000 prize pool in a game of No Limit Texas Hold'em poker for the charity of their choice. Each week a new crop of stars will take to the table to challenge their peers. The winner from each week's game will go on to compete in the championship final sixth episode – and then a new tournament will begin all over again with twenty five new celebrities. Viewers will have the inside track on the hands the different players are holding via hidden cameras. They will also be able to hear from the eliminated players, who will watch the remainder of their respective matches from the "Loser's Lounge," via closed circuit television.

All players are guaranteed at least $5,000 in prize money. Just for making it to the finals, fifth place will win $7,500, fourth place will win $10,000, third place will win $12,500 and second place will walk away with $20,000 for their charity. The "Celebrity Poker Showdown" champions will each walk away with $100,000 for the charity of their choice.

"Celebrity Poker Showdown" is hosted by comedian/actor Dave Foley joined by expert poker commentator Phil Gordon. Gordon is a world class poker player who has won $1,150,000 in poker tournaments in the last two years including a fourth place finish in the 2001 World Series of Poker, a first place finish in the World Poker Tour: Aruba (professional division) in 2002 and most recently a first place finish at the World Poker Tour: Bay 101 Shooting Stars Tournament in April 2004.

Week One:

To avoid confusion, I am referring to us as "players" and the poker players as "celebrities".

1.   I'm giving each of us 20 points.
2.Divide your 20 points among the 5 celebrities.
3.You must give each celebrity at least 1 point.
4.Points will be rewarded per this scale:

Celebrity who comes in 5th   will get the points assignedtimes 1
Celebrity who comes in 4th   will get the points assignedtimes 2
Celebrity who comes in 3rd   will get the points assignedtimes 3
Celebrity who comes in 2nd   will get the points assigned   times 4
Celebrity who comes in 1st   will get the points assignedtimes 5

5.   In addition, points will be rewarded:

Questions-    Points
For playing you get3 points
BONUS Questions   Points
B1. Who wins the first hand?5 points
B2. Who goes "all in" first?5 points
   Definition of "All In"- when a celebrity bets all the money they have.
   Everyone else in the game must either match the bet, or, if they
   don't have enough chips left, go all in themselves, or fold.
B3. How many "all ins" happen?5 points
B4. What will be the best completed hand?5 points

I have discovered that your Bravo and my Bravo are different, kicking myself. I'll still play and visit the website though, what the hay.

I will say this was a really good episode.....Dave Foley can be annoying at times, good in others...but Wanda stole the show tonight.

I liked last years host better (can't think of his name right now), Dave Foley grates on my last nerve! And I'm with you on Wanda - she cracked me up! I was totally blown away by Rosario taking it all. Who would've thunk it?!
I take comfort in the fact that there are only 11 points between me and first place so I'm not feeling totally out of the game...yet.
