Capella and Wiggins from season 1 were both much, much worse.

without rewatching anything I'd rank the cannons something like this:

Will Davis


Nadya Magnus

Russ Harlow
Bob Ferdinand

big gap



G. Cannon, tough to evaluate with the week long heater he was on.
Aaron Jensen
William Given. way too few hands to evaluate.

Courtney Gee
David Fischman

Troy Howard



Jared Huggins

Elizabeth Houston





Andre Capella
Ernest Wiggins

There is no 2nd half of the season. The show was cancelled.

"Haven't you realized? Have a vagina + don't be really ugly or fat = 1000x more opportunities in the poker world than a man gets."

TBG had a formula in the first season. One woman allowed to play for every 5 men. The first half of this season (before it got cancelled) they brought in 2 women out of 7 potential players. All the women have been fit and attractive and in their 20's or at least a Milfy 30 something.
I would say a fairer statement would be: Have a penis, be ugly or fat and it doesn't matter, they will put you on T.V.
At least 95% of all poker players are male. Here's an example of proof:

Under 5% of the 2011 Main Event field is female but that doesn’t make poker pro Amanda Musumeci any less dangerous.

Female poker players are easily over represented on TBG (and TV poker in general), in comparison to their actual numbers, not the opposite.

Basically everything was canceled post-Black Friday. These episodes were filmed before then.

All those quotes are attributed to me the way you pieced them together, but
my only actual quotes are # 2 (show was cancelled) and the last one you listed.

I actually agree with your percentage stats... but my point was that not ALL WOMEN will be drawn equally from any given pool to play poker on TV; it is quite specifically fairly attractive women.

In context, I was saying that there are many more men that one could say are physically unattractive that are on poker shows, but even some great lady pro's don't make the cut, because of age, size etc. I don't even want to say "physically unattractive" but just more "regular Joe", everyday peeps.

Of the 4 women chosen to be on the Big Game, for example, 2 were very pretty,in their mid- twenties, one was a 30's, pretty hot Russian milf (lol)and
one we still haven't seen, but I think is pretty OK looking too, from what I can tell.

What tilts me is all these people saying she's so fine or whatever. I just facepalm when white guys see an ugly Asian girl and just think she's hot. They have no clue.

Also I just thought it was funny how in the interview they show she's all like "I'm pretty and so people think I will play scared....but I don't" And then she plays like she did. It was just classic.

And I love Rick Salomon. Guy's hilarious and run's so good at everything.
