I've been asked to host a poll for this game. If you played in Celebrity Poker, I'll be doing this one the same. The first episode is on Sunday, January 25 at 9:00pm Eastern Time. SO EVERYONE PLAY!!! DESCRIPTION: WPT SPECIAL: Hollywood Home Games Premieres Sunday, Jan. 25 at 9 p.m. ET/PT Hollywood's inner circle puts it all on the table in the premiere episode of the World Poker Tour: Hollywood Home Game. The stakes are high and the tension palpable as superstars of film and T.V. battle for bragging rights to $25,000 in charity donations and a coveted $25,000 seat in the World Poker Tour Championships. To spice up the action, in each two-hour episode, the stars are given the option of using a "lifeline" to call upon two professional poker players for a bit of friendly advice. Can Jack Black keep a straight poker face? Will Drew Carey improvise a win? Is Fred Savage old enough to play?! Follow the action along with hosts Mike Sexton, Vince Van Patten and Shana Hiatt. Hollywood Home Game #1: Jack Black, Drew Carey, Fred Savage, Steve Harris, Mimi Rogers, Aisha Tyler Hollywood Home Game #2: Lou Diamond Phillips, Fred Willard, Lolita Davidovich, Norm McDonald, Richard Karn, Camryn Manheim Hollywood Home Game #3: Jennifer Tilly, Ming-Na, Joshua Morrow, James Woods, Robert Wuhl, Daniel Baldwin Hollywood Home Game #4: Ben Affleck, Jon Favreau, Ed Asner, Mo Collins, Sharon Lawrence, Gary Busey Game One Players:
 | Aisha Tyler- The actress (NBC's Friends), comedian (E's Talk Soup) and author (Swerve: Reckless Observations of a Postmodern Girl) aims to add poker ace to her list of credentials. Perhaps she can combine her Ivy-League smarts with top notch acting skills, to come out on top. | | |  | Drew Carey- Having written the book, Dirty Jokes and Beer, the TV personality (ABC's Drew Carey Show and Who's Line Is It Anyway?) and comedian should know a thing or two about poker as well. We're looking for experienced play out of this one. | | |  | Fred Savage- The child star of The Wonder Years and The Princess Bride grew up and became "The Mole" in Austin Powers: Goldmember. He's now appearing in the movie Welcome to Mooseport along with Ray Romano and Gene Hackman. Will he use his youthful charm to lull the other players into a false sense of security? | | |  | Mimi Rogers- Don't let her recent appearance in the movie Dumb and Dumberer fool you, Rogers is ready to steal the pot. Look for spy-like behavior such as she displayed as Mrs. Kensington, the 60s-era sidekick of Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. | | |  | Steve Harris- Having starred in ABC's The Practice, NBC's Law & Order, and films Minority Report and The Rock. this Emmy-nominated actor knows how to stare down opponents. Look to him for some icy poker faces. | | |  | Jack Black- This actor (School of Rock, High Fidelity) and musician (Tenacious D) is well known for erratic behavior bordering on spontaneous combustion. He's sure to keep the other players guessing and, perhaps, a little intimidated. Find out if he can hold it together for a victory. | |

OK, all you poker faces out there, here's how this works. I give you each 20 points and let you divide your points up how you want. You get the usual 3 points for playing and another 20 points that you can divide up amongst the players. I'll then multiply your points x1 if they come in 6th, x2 if they come in 5th, x3 if they come in 4rd, x4 if they come in 3nd, x5 if they come in 2nd, and x6 if they come in 1st!!! You must assign at least one point to each player! There is also one bonus question:
B1. Who wins the first hand? | … | 5 points | |

I'll go first to demonstrate:
Q1. Aisha Tyler | … | 3 | Q2. Drew Carey | … | 5 | Q3. Fred Savage | … | 1 | Q4. Mimi Rogers | … | 1 | Q5. Steve Harris | … | 5 | Q4. Jack Black | | 5 | |
B1. Who wins the first hand? | … | Aisha | SO... If Aisha wins the first hand, and then they go Aisha out first, then Drew, then Fred, then Mimi, then Steve, then Jack, I would get:
Aisha Tyler | … | 1 x 3 = 3 | Drew Carey | … | 2 x 5 = 10 | Fred Savage | … | 3 x 1 = 3 | Mimi Rogers | … | 4 x 1 = 4 | Steve Harris | … | 5 x 5 = 25 | Jack Black | … | 6 x 5 = 30 | | | TOTAL = 80 | |

Caroline, you need to let me know who you think will win the first hand?

Puttergirl, Are you still in Atlanta? If so I am curious as to who your cable provider is. I would think that any cable provider in a major metro area would carry the Travel Channel considering its owned by the Discovery Channel. I know Comcast carries it everywhere.

i have comcast with the digital platinum package - and we don't have the travel channel. this is one reason i'm not playing this game - i hate not being able to watch!

I guess I am mistaken about everywhere, but I know Comcast in Atlanta has the Travel Channel. I believe its on channel 60.

Azlen, yes I'm in Atlanta and I have Bellsouth Digital Cable. My old cable network had it, but Bellsouth doesn't. As a matter of fact, my parents switched to Bellsouth too and got really pissed off to lose the Travel Channel. It was my Dad's favorite- lol!!! But I don't mind doing the poll without watching. I've started an American Idol game and you only have until Monday night for the first questions. If you want to play in it, go to: ../1125046/1126412.html"#E7EFEF"> | Reiki
