Finally, a non-celeb takes down the celebs on Celebrity Poker Showdown.Ida Siconolfi, who won the Bravo online tournament to get a seat in last night's show, played a fantastic game to beat Fred Savage, Jennifer Tilly, Doug E. Doug, and Brett Butler, and will now go on to the championship match later this season.
When I heard that Bravo was going to pick a regular viewer to get a seat on Celebrity Poker Showdown, I thought it would be some online gaming geek or some really obnoxious person who would try to outdo the celebs when it came to over the top humor. Not so. Ida proved to be classy, quiet, and one of the top players that has ever been on the show.
I might even have to root for her in the championship game.

Once again I must mourn the fact that my small town cable company doesn't have Bravo. :( I never realized until I moved here that it was not on everywhere. My husband and I both mourned the fact we can't have a dish without it planted way down in the front yard like a lawn ornament or something. He misses his NFL Network and ESPNU while I want Bravo back!
Anyway, that's great that they let a viewer play and she beat Jennifer Tilly no less! I say if she wins the championship, send her on to the WSOP. Go IDA!
