Annie Duke on Celebrity Apprentice

Hey all not sure if everyone knows this but I tuned in last night to watch celebrity apprentice and there was Annie selling cupcakes . Just thought i would let the poker community know maybe now it will be worth watching.

I caught the end of Celebrity Apprentice when the guys were in the boardroom. Looks like good stuff, will hopefully catch the full episode next week.

We recorded it and will probably watch it tonight.

Oh I was gonna tell ya who got ousted on last nights episode, but I won't spoil it for you. I was surprised at seeing who some of the celebrities were Dennis Rodman, Andrew Dice Clay, Joan Rivers, Clint Black to name a few. It was the first time I watched it. Will probably have to keep up with the show now.

I watched it and it was pretty interesting. Theres a lot of egos and should make for some good tv. Annie is doing way too much early though, I understand what shes trying to do but people will step back and let her make mistakes so they can throw her under the bus.

My pick to win the whole thing is either Joan Rivers or Brian McKnight.

I wouldn't call myself an Annie Duke lover but I think she makes a good businesswoman.

I read that she makes it to at least the top 4. Doesn't surprise me.

Not sure why she's doing it? She's not exactly in the "has been" category for me like Rodmen and the Dice man are.

She's a "never been" as far as the mainstream media are concerned - so I can totally see why she's doing it.

Besides, this has got everyone talking about how she's on Celebrity Apprentice and not about how evil she is for still being sponsored by Ultimate Bet.

Based on how hopeless the average Apprentice contestant is, let alone how hopeless the average celebrity contestant is likely to be, I'd pick her to win it.

I missed it on TV, so I just watched the whole 1st episode on the NBC website. Good stuff. Annie rocks, imo:

I thought, while she did a great job in organizing the cupcake baking, she really needs to learn a few people skills. I think since she is very intelligent and logical (from being a poker player of course ) she had the potential to go far on the show, but because she's a poker player, where she has to do everyting in her job alone and on her own merit, she's simply lacking the, how shall I say this.... manners? to work in a corporate environment. But I still like her chances and I'll definitly be watching every week to see how it goes.

I really like annie, but

SHe came off as a real pain in the butt on the show. I dont think she has to many fans on her team. She got what she needed to done but had bad attitude & very bossy.People dont like that.But I wish her luck on the show.

Yeah, she's sharp but she does come off kind of overbearing.

Remember that poker show that she did with Helmuth? She came off the same way. Talked too much.

In her defense, though, she clearly was head and shoulders above the rest in her group. Intelligent, productive, enthusiastic and creative.

Did you notice Seidel buying a cupcake?

She was pushy alright lol.

She really took control of the women on there....reminds me of how she plays poker

why is she evil for being sponsered by ultimate bet?

i have heard people in the poker world say that she is a real.....well..hard to deal with i guess i should say. You could tell on the show that shes a real bossy boss. I dont think she will last long at all on the show, i could be wrong but it seems like her personality will continue to clash with all the other women on the show and they'll want her head lol. i think it was funny how the diceman went first. he claims to be sooo funny but ive never seen it myself, especially in the boardroom. not funny at all. Go rodman.

Is she really on it.. Like as a contestent.. whatn the Chit is that all about. How did i not hear about this sooner...

I will defiantley chk it out..

For the full story, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Duke

In short, she is Howard "The Professor" Lederer's younger sister; a successful professional poker player/coach/teacher in her own right; and one of the two pros, Phil Hellmuth being the other, for Ultimate Bet Net.

She and Hellmuth are the two pro poker coaches on Fox Sports Network's Best Damn Poker Show which is, naturally, sponsored by UB.

She is also active in trying to get poker legalized. Hope she does well on the show!
