Baggage
by Chico Alexander

Air time: 6:30p/5:30C on GSN
Host: Jerry Springer
On the Web: www.gsntv.com/baggage 
 
Matt
Cleveland
entrepreneur
Emma
Washington, DC
stylist
Shanta
San Diego
cashier
Vita
Olympia, WA
teacher

We start as always with the small, relatively innocuous baggage. Emma practices witchcraft. White witchcraft, but still witchcraft. Shanta shaves her moustache every day. Vita is attracted to men that look like her dad.

Dealbreaker Round: three more bags, one of which refuses to perform oral, one of which uses baby wipes instead of bathing, and one of which wants her men to dress as Pooh Bear in bed. Matt's a little too old for Pooh in bed, which means that it's time for Shanta to hit the hoot. Emma uses baby wipes, while Vita refuses to sing into a microphone.

Big Baggage: Emma had a two-year affair with a married man. Vita left her husband for a cult leader. Gotta love the choices, an adulterous witch who loves baby wipes, and a daddy's girl who won't serve you down there, but might leave it for someone who thinks he's G-d. Matt makes this quick: Vita has too much baggage.

So Emma has cast a spell on Matt, but before she can engage in a little premarital hex, Matt has a secret of his own... "I'm a bankrupt circus performer." Will Emma swing on his trapeze for a while? "I'm sorry, but it looks like I'm going to be paying for dinner." Enjoy your date in Beverly Hills, you two.

FIRST 21 WINS
Trip to San Francisco (Radisson Fisherman's Wharf)

Hand #1: This doesn't happen often, but we've got trip 4. Zeinab passes a jack to Brenda for 14. Jay keeps a 6 for 10. Brenda passes a 10 to Zeinab for 14. Jay passes a 9 to Brenda to bust her at 100. Zeinab doubles Jay's 10 to 20 on a 10, then busts him on a 9 for 200. Zeinab leads the game with 800.

Hand #2: Zeinab gets a deuce, Jay a queen, and Brenda a 7. Jay passes a 5 to Brenda for 12. Zeinab keeps a 2 for 4. Brenda passes a 6 to Jay for 16 and a 3 and a 5 to Zeinab for 12. Jay catches 21 on a 5 to move on with the trip alongside Zeinab, tied at 900. Brenda leaves with 400.

Final Hand: Mikki pairs the board with 7s. Zeinab keeps a 3 and a queen to freeze on 20. Jay gets the draw with a 7 for 14, and a king to bust. Zeinab wins!

Bonus Catch 21 with three Burger King Power Chips:
Hand 1) 7 - K
Hand 2) Q - 10
Hand 3) 10 - 2 - 3
PASSED: J, 9, K

We need a 4, 6, or ace. Next card... jack. BUST!

 

Poker After Dark
by Chico Alexander

Air time: 2:05a/1:05C on NBC & NBC HD
Host: Leeann Tweeden with Oliver "Ali" Nejad
On the Web: www.nbcsports.com/poker  
  Brett Favre is returning to NBC on Sunday. Patrik Antonius and Randy Couture... aren't.
 
Patrik "The Golden Boy" Antonius
6th PLACE
Dan "Hendo" Henderson
$57,000
Randy "The Natural" Couture
5th PLACE
Howard "The Professor" Lederer
$22,000
Bruce "The Voice" Buffer
$21,000
BLINDS: $600/$1200 Erick "E-Dog" Lindgren
$20,000

Erick plays A-Q against Dan's Q-5. Flop: Q-J-K. Turn: 9c. Checks. River: 2d. Blank on the dn. Dan bets $9000 on a 9-kicker. He's playing like a pro, and Erick's a little bit flummoxed... and ends up throwing the best hand into the muck.

Erick goes all-in on A-4c. Howard calls with 5s. Flop: Q-6-10. Hendo needs to dodge bullets. Turn: 3d. River: Js. And Erick Lindgren is out in third.

Dan and Howard knotted up at $45K a pop. Bruce asks for a ruling on an apparent $3800 raise. Poker room manager John Colville reverses it to a raise of $2000 plus the small blind. It's of ill consequence, as Hendo raises to $4700. Bruce has K-J. Hendo has A-10c. Flop: 10-Q-J. Middle pair for the voice, while Dan has bottom pair and a gut-shot. Bet and a call of $10,000. Turn: 6s. A quarter of all the chips in play is in this pot. River: 5h. Bruce goes all-in and gets $44,900 AND the chip lead.

Dan plays J-10 against Howard's J-8. Flop: 3-J-A. Turn: As. 2-1 chance at a tie. Howard bets on an 8 kicker. River: Ah. Dan's all-in for $18,000 and change. Howard calls, we'll chop the chips. He does, and $32,325 goes two ways.

Dan then goes all-in on 8s full of 7s, getting $49,000 for the chip lead. Howard follows suit and gets the lead back with $51,000.

Bruce goes all-in with 8s after Dan's A-2s. Flop: 6-2-7. Bruce gets his money back.

Howard ends the night in the chip lead. We're 24 hours from a winner.
