Tiffany Michelle’s Run on Worst Cooks in America Is Over


Tiffany Michelle was almost Last Woman Standing on Worst Cooks in America too...

Let’s first say this: we’ve never watched any of the cooking competition reality shows. We know they’re huge. We know people love them. We just haven’t watched any.

Having said thatTM, Worst Cooks in America is one of the most popular shows on The Food Network. Because, again, people love cooking shows. Worst Cooks consistently pulls in over 2M viewers (i.e. greater than almost any poker broadcast ever) and a solid .7-8 in the coveted 18-49 demo, even though it features celeb chef Bobby Flay, who is a ginger.

It also happens to run at the same time as The Walking Dead (and now Mad Men), meaning there’s approximately a zero percent chance we’ll end up seeing it, unless of course zombies invade the set and/or TDog joins the cast. So what we’re trying to say in three succinct paragraphs is that we missed most of this season of Worst Cooks in America, which featured former WSOP Main Event Last Woman StandingTM Tiffany Michelle.

However, we did keep up with the season to track Tiffany’s progress. She made it far–eventually getting the ax in Episode 6 (“Something Fishy”).

We talked to Tiffany last month about the season. Here’s what she said, as well as some new pics to boot…

Nikki Beach WSOP Party Photo Dump


You should've gone to the Nikki Beach party at Tropicana.

WSOP parties are going to be few and far between. No PokerStars bash at the Palms. No Howard Lederer BBQ at the Nugget.

Nope, this year it’s pretty much the BLUFF bash at Sapphire and the Maria Ho, Tiffany Michelle, and Vanessa Rousso party at Nikki Beach.

Every poker hottie showed up for this one. Drunken poker player bacchanalian fest.

Victory Junction Charity Poker Tournament Photo Dump


Tiffany Michelle hosted a charity poker tournament with Kyle Petty (replaced by Natalie Getz in the above pic) and a bunch of Bachelor contestants. Lots of hooking up likely ensued...as well as money raised for charity.

Bachelor Pad was one of the best reality shows since Temptation Island 2. Not as good–nothing is topping it–but it was in the same league, which is a lofty compliment. So naturally if there’s going to be some cross-over Bachelor Pad-poker event, we’re posting it.

Tiffany Michelle and Kyle Petty (odds given to us at beginning of the year we’d lead a sentence with that: 250-1) hosted the Victory Junction Charity Poker Tournament last week at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas. Celebs in attendance included C Thomas Howell (fortunately not in black face), a getting-hotter-by-the-minute Natalie Getz, Trishelle CanatellaJennifer Elise Cox, Dave Good, former MLB baseball pitcher Dave Stewart, adult film star Samantha Ryan, and Kovacs.

Making the final table were Lacey Jones, Jeff Madsen, and the aforementioned Tiffany Michelle and C Thomas Howell. Madsen took it down.

Victory Junction Foundation was founded by Kyle Petty and actor Paul Newman to provide children with chronic medical conditions and illnesses free-of-charge life changing experiences and camps. This event raised $10,000 for the charity. Learn more about Victory Junction Foundation here.

In semi-related news, someone needs to work on getting Natalie Getz a Sammy RyRy style sponsorship deal for the WSOP this year. More Getz is a good thing.

Maria Ho and Tiffany Michelle Perform Live on This Week In Poker


The latest ep of This Week in Poker is up. Watch above or on YouTube here, or download/subscribe on iTunes. Thanks to our sponsors StormOnDemand.comPokerVT.com and Full Tilt Poker’s Doubles Poker Championship on GSN.

Former WSOP Last Women Standing and Amazing Race stars Tiffany Michelle, a woman, and Maria Ho, a woman, joined us in the studio yesterday for a “spirited discussion” about the 2010 WSOP Main Event final table, what to make of Jonathan Duhamel‘s win for poker both here and in Canada, Joseph “Subiime” Cheong‘s blow-up (or was it not a blow-up?), Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi‘s 5th place finish and what can the World Series do to improve its TV broadcasts next year.

Also, for the first time ever, Maria and Tiffany perform a song live on our show, and as viewer “rawwolf” noted, it seemed liked a dream Vanessa Selbst would have. Get right to the song here.

Finally, the show ends with another great PokerVT strategy session (starts here), this time featuring pro Jason Somerville answering viewer questions and breaking down Jonathan Duhamel’s now-infamous hands against both Matt Affleck and subiime.
