This post, the sixth and final post in a series of posts detailing the top 10 poker television shows, details the top two honorable mention shows that didn’t quite make the cutoff of our top 10 list. The first show on our honorable mention list is Strip Poker. Strip Poker aired on the USA Network in 2000 and was hosted by Graham Elwood. The game pitted a group of guys against a group of girls. The card dealer on the show was Jennifer Cole.

At the start of the game, before a pair of cards came down a chute, the group of guys was asked a question about girl stuff. If the guys got the question correct they would then take control of the game. If the guys got the questions wrong the girls would be able to answer. If their answer was correct they would then take control of the game. But, if the girls got the question wrong the guys would take control of the game by default. The questioning would alternate for the first two rounds of the tournament.

The other show on our honorable mention list is The Best Dame Poker Show. The show features 24 players locked in a room with poker pros Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke. Season two of the show ran from January to March and it included seven episodes. The show aired nationally on televisions all over the country. The 24 players made the cast either by posting a YouTube video, passing a live casting call, or qualifying via an online competition.
