I like honest,straight forward people so that puts me in Joan’s corner. I spoke to Joan once in Las Vegas and she was rude so I am not a very big fan of hers but, she has more character than Annie.
I gotta go with Annie. Joan’s been way too much of a drama queen for me.
I expect that Annie will win this show and that was what was intended all along (somehow I think that Trump will get some financial boost from a poker player winning), but she should not win. I am no Joan Rivers fan, but Duke is so obnoxious she makes Joan look nice. Did you see her ridiculous behavior the other night about that stupid jingle? She didn’t “beat Clint Black in a song writing contest”–I’m not sure why her team won except that Trump obviously thought that Clint needed to leave–but it certainly wasn’t that lame song.
Joan and Melissa Rivers are just sore losers. They’ve been outwitted and outplayed and can’t handle it. Rip her a new one, Annie!
Donald Trump shows his ability to bring it the public again. He knows what the public wants. Could have been Clint Black against Jesse, Rodman against anyone…turned out Annie Duke and Joan brought the biggest draw. Annie is the best player. Joan should never have let her daughter be a part of this show. It just showed Melissa’s pampered side.
Annie or Joan.I called it weeks ago. Two very strong-willed women.It’s going to be interesting.I like both women.May the best one win.
Joan is a skank and her 15 minutes are up (melissa doesn’t even deserve mention). Annie is smart and hard-working…she is sharp as hell and would mop the floor with joan. Joan sucks.
Seriously, while I know it is all about the ratings – Annie Duke makes me ill. The lies, backstabbing and she has the “all about me” disease. If I had to hear one more time “I wrote the song”, “I can’t believe I beat Clint Black” – you could say that you crapped purple and she would have to one up you by saying she did it too but she had a better hue of purple! Joan is guilty of protecting her daughter but rightly so – Melissa got the shaft. Melissa was better than most people on the show and should have gone against Annie Duke. I hope she comes back to be on her mother’s team – that is the only hope that Joan has. I’m disappointed in Donald Trump that he let the pit vipers do what they did to Melissa. She called it and it happened! And she did everything she could to participate in the task in which she was fired.
Brande has to be the most stupid person I have ever seen on tv trying to convince people she is intelligent. Hello! She can’t spell crap!
Joan for the win— Annie Duke has got to be the most insufferable human being, aside from Donald Trump himself, on TV right now. Can’t wait to see Joan tear her a new one.
Looks like the crowd is split here. As “bad” as Annie is…there’s no way she deserved what she was called by Joan.

Annie all the way! She played the game so well, and didn’t act like Joan or Melissa, who have completely lost my respect.
Annie is very slick, and good at telling people what they want to hear. I don’t trust a thing she says!
Since when did poker players become celebrities?? Team Rivers.
Ellen looks fantastic!
Annie Duke did not write a song. She had a professional musician there that carried her arrogant butt. Clint’s song was great but the tone of the comedic radio ad with the tone of the country song just did not go well together.
