Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker: Lots of booze, broads and some pretty good poker

It's a rare moment in history as Jenny Woo stays in Saturday night to review Calvin Ayre's Wild Card Poker

They tried to teach me how to play poker last July during the World Series of Poker but my ADT kicked in and I found my eyes wandering across the room to some of the cuter poker players.  First off, I don't know an ace from an ass.  What I do know is that my lovely Calvin Ayre pulled off something simply mavalous - I feel honored to have met him in the same sordid way I felt honored upon receiving my very first rabbit many Easters ago, and Jenny is not talking about one of those cute chocolate bunnies either.  Think dirty Energizer Rabbit. 

In many ways, Ayre gives me the same sensation of my Easter surprise: a tantalizing tease that satisfies only for a short moment before I find myself wanting more ten minutes later and he is always there even when I don't necessarily want him there.  I even see his face when I close my eyes to sleep each night. 

Calvin Ayre's Wild Card Poker Series will give me five more weeks of virtual pleasure....then I will be able to go back out on Saturday nights and get the real thing. 

Here are some pet peeves I had with the Fox Sports broadcast program, the first installment which aired Saturday night April 15.

Not enough Calvin I expected to see him sitting on Cherlyl Hines ("Curb Your Enthusiasm) lap through much of the two hour show.  She won and seemed to get the most exposure, probably because she lasted the entire two hours - duh Jenny.  As for Moi, I didn't quite last that long.  I fell asleep during the first half of the second hour - More on that momentarily.  The segments on Calvin seemed to always show him heading towards a bar.  You'd think the guy was a lush or something.......Oh, wait a minute....He might very well be

Great commercials then there were those damn diet pill commercials The Bodog Poker commercials Jenny absolutely loved, but what was up with those diet pill commercials where they repeated twice and were shown every commercial break at least here in Miami?  Word on the street is that Fox Sports didn't want a site like Gambling911.com promoting this show as appearing on their network.  Gambling911.com has the exposure and wherewithal to attract dozens of high paying advertisers as a web site regularly cited within advertising industry publications and news wires, or so my boss says and I don't necessarily believe every word he tells me.  Instead we are bombarded by diet pill ads.  Jenny will be trying them this week so I guess the ad worked at least, though I've already forgotten the name of this product....That damn ADT!!!!

I loved the poker and commentary What a great blend!  It was like watching a sporting event intertwined with sex, booze and plenty of boobs....then again, there weren't enough boobs.  I'd like to have seen more.  After all, this is a Calvin Ayre production! 

Was it me or has Calvin Ayre moved into the Brady Bunch home?  I could have sworn that was the Brady Bunch home when Calvin gave the grand tour....just add a gym, oversized swimming pool and Harley Davidson bike.  Why he even had a Latin version of housekeeper Alice!.  And what was with that private area where Calvin claims he never lets anybody in accept for this one time?  I thought for sure we'd see whips, chains and a bondage room.  Instead I get to see - whoopie - Calvin's Harley.  The pool I absolutely loved!  Maybe I need to see this "compound" in person to really appreciate it.  Calvin, Sweetie, is yet to invite Ms. Woo to his crib.  I hear he's building a whole new extension.

Calvin was so sexy in his cutoff shirt but...I couldn't help but think he's been using steroids to get in shape for this new series.  Those arms were pumped.  And Good Lord Ladies!  I don't care how much money he has, did you all catch Calvin kicking that pad thingie in his gym?  I was waiting for the producers to pull him up on those invisible strings and have him fly around the room like Peter Pan.  Good grief!  Claude Van Damme Calvin is not!

What's next in the cards?  Calvin Ayre American Idol Bad Jenny! Bad!  Leave it to me to put ideas in this guy's head.

Can you say OVEREXPOSURE?  On that note, is it Me or is Calvin Ayre more in my face these days than Britney Spears?  Brad Pitt?  George Bush?  Maybe it's because I'm always on the Gambling911.com web site.  I think the only thing we haven't reported here is whether Calvin is circumcised.  Or maybe we did report that and I somehow missed it?

That hostess got very little exposure What a hottie!  I wonder what number she was for Calvin!  Let me guess, 90210, which just happens to be the ZIP Code for Beverly Hills.  What's my prize?  And please don't tell me Calvin.  I hear he yells his own name out during sex!  Oh Jenny is on a role tonight, must be those triple shot Cosmos and the fact that my boss is tucked away for the evening and unable to edit this article.  

Where was my boss? I waited and waited for two LONG hours (yes, the show is too long for a single night airing....good but two hours is like sitting through a movie and you know how my ADT is).  I thought for sure my boss would be following Calvin around his house like some lost kitten sniffing his ass the entire time.  If Bodog were a cult, my beloved boss would be assuming the Tom Cruise couch jumping role!  Calvin after all is named after a religious sect, the Calvinists. 

Overall, the chemistry at the poker table was good, though Calvin looked a bit uncomfortable walking in and interrupting the game....in fact, the players looked sorta bewildered.  I really enjoyed the game itself even though I don't know diddly squat about poker.  I bet the ratings will be good too.

Production value gets two thumbs up from Jenny as well and there is no way in Hell I'm having those Ticos tie me to a rope and have me pushed down some long wire over trees some 2000 feet in the air.  NO WAY JOSE!

Someone in the online gambling industry should post odds on which episode will feature the first lip-locking session between Calvin and some lucky recipient.  I would have guessed Episode One myself...the first five minutes!  Why, I would have guessed my boss to be the first candidate!  I wonder if the producers had to pry my bosses lips off Calvin's ass at any time during the shooting.  GEEZ

"Calvin Ayre's Wild Card Poker" airs Saturday nights at 11 pm EST.  Jenny recommends it, though I'd rather be doing other things Saturday night to be perfectly honest.  If only it would air during the week during prime time and in one hour installments. 

DON'T FORGET TO CATCH ME AND MY GIRLS PAYTON, DESTINEY AND ANNA LIVE THIS COMING TUESDAY NIGHT APRIL 18 8:00 PM EST FOR OUR AMERICAN IDOL CHIT CHAT SESSION.  LAST WEEK WAS SUCH AN OVERWHELMING SUCCESS AND OUR BIGGEST TRAFFIC DAY EVER.  WE'LL BE DISCUSSING EACH PERFORMANCE AS THEY HAPPEN.  BE SURE TO BOOKMARK THIS SITE NOW.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY AND HOPE YOU FIND PLENTY OF EGGS
