I don't think its that weird she doesn't know.
that anology is kind of extreme.
to me, it would be like if a cook at a run of the mill restaurant doesn't recognize jeff Mauro (he is a chef who became a celebrity on the cooking channel and has a daily 30min show on there).
That cook probably doesn't give a **** about celebrity cooks and just does that job for the money or for whatever reason.
It isn't unlikely that a poker dealer really doesn't give a **** about poker on TV.
I could see if Vanessa was a reg at one of the LA casinos (she said she was freelance so she probably bounced around all of them.)
Also it is extremely likely that she has just dealt poker before and the show made her play that **** up like crazy.
Mostly this show only takes in a few intelligent people per season. They usually end up winning. They rarely have to win that many competitions and usually don't win many competitions.
I am pretty sure they chose venessa this year because they saw a poker player (increase male demographic) and saw that shes hot (increase male demographic).
