In the midst of August, it was revealed that poker participant Robbi Jade Lew was forged on a brand new actuality TV present on the USA Community – The Nameless, a contest through which the gamers compete to doubtlessly win as much as $100,000.

Whereas Lew proved to be a menace on the present, even profitable the primary problem, her time was minimize quick as she was eradicated from the competitors on this previous Monday evening’s episode.

“There’s quite a lot of luck concerned, type of like poker. I did not get fortunate this time,” Lew advised PokerNews of her time on the present. “They discovered me to be the largest menace and it was most likely the suitable factor to do. I actually felt like I used to be going to win it.”

Turning into a Risk

Lew was one in all a dozen contestants competing on the present, which was filmed earlier this yr earlier than the World Sequence of Poker (WSOP).

“I do not know what it’s however actuality recreation exhibits love poker gamers,” Lew mentioned when requested how the chance happened. “It is not the primary time I have been requested to be in a recreation present like this and it was an ideal match. You understand, this can be a recreation about deception. It is type of like being two-faced, type of dwelling a double life. I used to be like, wow, that is actually cool. I felt like I may actually do it, however I additionally knew that if I used to be going to go in my technique was not going to be to come back off as a poker participant as a result of I felt that I’d be a direct goal and a direct menace to the family. So, I simply hoped and prayed that no person acknowledged me in any respect and I used to be capable of get away with it so long as potential. Sadly, I ended up being a menace anyway, however I feel it could have been like a double menace if I had come off as a poker participant.”

One of many causes Lew got here off as a menace was as a result of she confirmed off her psychological acuity early by profitable a problem through which she memorized and efficiently recited again a 10-digit sequence.

“It felt superior, however I additionally knew straight away that I had a goal on my again after that occurred,” Lew mentioned when requested what it felt prefer to win the primary problem and safe immunity for herself, thus making certain she wouldn’t be the primary to go. “It is like a kind of issues that I used to be like, I will take care of that later proper now tonight, I am protected. I clearly contributed to the prize pool. In the end, if you happen to take a look at what the technique and the sport are and there are two sides of the home, there have been people who felt that they needed to do away with the threats after which people who thought that they needed to do away with the weaker gamers.”

She continued: “Once they mentioned reminiscence, I used to be like, oh, I acquired this one. I did not suppose I’d do in addition to I did. I used to be additionally very nervous, you realize, you are in a very high-pressure setting. We have been being timed and we could not determine the pace of how briskly it was popping out. We have been freezing that evening as you’ll be able to inform we’re all like these jackets and stuff and it was the primary problem. However I’ll say that that was one in all my favourite ones and I actually preferred just like the group dynamic ones.”

Discovering an Alliance

Whereas Lew could also be a celeb within the poker world, her fame has permeated the mainstream. That wasn’t the case for a few of her fellow rivals. That included for Massive Brother winner Xavier Prather, Australian Survivor legend Nina Twine, and Andy King identified for his position within the Fyre Competition documentary on Netflix.

“Our aim was simply to guarantee that the person who was The Nameless shouldn’t be anyone who needed to get rid of a menace.”

“The alliance that I had fashioned with the folks in the home have been those that have been the sturdy contenders in the home that have been contributing to the prize pool and felt that we should always do away with the weak gamers to start with,” Lew defined, “after which in the end, we are able to take care of one another on the finish, however all of us needed to get to the top. Our aim was simply to guarantee that the person who was The Nameless shouldn’t be anyone who needed to get rid of a menace. Sadly, when the three new folks got here into the home, we weren’t in a position to do this. When the brand new folks got here it type of threw all people for a loop and our technique went out the door.”

She added: “You can see Xavier doing what he did in Massive Brother, which is he knew the significance of forming alliances and Nina was a part of that too. I knew straight away once I met them that they have been folks I needed to type of like align myself with as a result of they’d that have behind them. It was very cool to be exterior of the poker aspect, of like these poker nerds that I take care of all day, and be in like this real-life setting with folks that type of prefer to get out and see the solar. You understand what I imply? Like they’re regular folks, they’re doing regular issues.”

Would She Do It Once more?

Lew, like the remainder of her castmates, needed to study on the fly as there have been no earlier seasons of The Nameless.

“We have been the guinea pigs of the complete recreation present. We have been nonetheless attempting to determine easy methods to strategize as we went,” she admitted.” One of many large issues that we realized earlier on is it solely takes one vote to be eradicated. I feel that Season 2 goes to come back out and they’ll do it larger and higher and technique might be crazier. You will see that. It is so troublesome once you’re standing there and you are still attempting to determine what the technique of the sport is as a result of we do not have something, we’ve got no like golden rule or normal.”

She continued: “The longer you play that recreation, you understand that there are solely two folks which might be protected – The Nameless and the person who is protected as a result of they gained the problem. All it takes is one vote to get knocked out. I solely had one vote. I used to be solely up there one time once I acquired eradicated subsequent to anyone who had like 5 votes. It simply takes the mistaken particular person being The Nameless and also you having one vote to be eradicated. So, the final word aim is simply to be protected or be The Nameless.”

So, would she do it once more? How a few totally different actuality TV present?

“I’d do something competitive-wise. I liked this competitors. I did not suppose that I would love it, that I’d actually recognize the expertise of being there, however I’d do it once more. So long as it isn’t tremendous lengthy weeks, I’d take into account something that has a aggressive foundation the best way that The Nameless did. Something that is aggressive you realize I am doing it, that is why I really like poker a lot. And as a poker participant, something suits into our schedule.”

As they are saying in poker, on to the following one!
