CBS, the network that airs Emmy Award winning The Amazing Race, permitted Gambling911.com's own Jenny Woo to interview poker pro contestant Maria Ho, but they weren't about to let the cat slip out of the bag knowing what a persistent reporter Ms. Woo could be.
"CBS was on the line with us when we did the interview," Woo said.
Some of the questions couldn't be answered due to the strict contract Maria Ho has with the network.
And it's all with good reason, we might add.
In the past, certain "insiders" (perhaps contestants) have tipped off both media outlets and bookmakers regarding the final outcome of various shows including CBS' own Survivor reality series.
Gambling911.com was tipped off by an anonymous email that proved accurate related to NBC's last installment of Celebrity Apprentice.
"We published the article declaring that poker pro Annie Duke had made the final along with comedian Joan Rivers not knowing that the show had yet to start airing," said Payton O'Brien, Senior Editor of Gambling911.com. "We were quick to remove the article once learning that the Celebrity Apprentice installment was yet to air. The email we received turned out to be completely accurate and from an obvious insider."
Maria Ho appears on The Amazing Race with fellow poker player and close friend Tiffany Michelle.
