Vanessa Rousso to appear on Big Brother

Wednesday, June 17th, 2015

When summer arrives, television viewers can expect to find new television shows to launch during the off-peak season. For the most part, new shows are of the reality variety with one of the most popular being Big Brother of the CBS Network. Big Brother places a certain number of individuals in a home that is restricted of no televisions, radio or outside contact. Each contestant competes for rewards and the coveted Head of Household to have a say in who gets to stay and who goes home. It has recently been announced that a top poker pro will be taking part in the upcoming season of the reality show.

Vanessa Rousso will be one of 14 house guests featured on the show and should be able to put her poker skills to good use. Many guests of the Big Brother house use their skills and do not reveal who they are or what they do for a living. As an avid fan of BB, it would be smart for Rousso not to reveal what she does for her career, unless someone recognizes her.

Other guests of the BB house will realize that Rousso can use her poker skills to lie and manipulate the other guests and may feel threatened. The poker pro is all about competition and commonly takes part in poker tournaments, earning cash outs or title wins.

The new season of Big Brother begins on the 24th of June on CBS and will feature Rousso being introduced as a member of the cast. For two nights the show will introduce the new cast mates so everyone will get to see Vanessa as she interacts with others and plans out her strategy to win the game. It will be definitely be an interesting season as the poker pro joins in for 2015!

 

 

Vanessa Rousso No Longer a PokerStars Sponsored Pro

Wednesday, February 4th, 2015

PokerstarsWhen a professional poker signs with an online poker company, the player tends to stay associated with the brand for quite some time. Players have been known to start careers after one major win and signing with top companies such as PokerStars, 888, Full Tilt and more. When a player signs with a poker site, they will earn a bio page online as well as compete in online tournaments or host special events. The player will also represent the site at live events, wearing clothing from the brand to show support and sponsorship.

Top pro Vanessa Rousso has been associated with the PokerStars brand for quite some time and now it seems as though the two have parted ways. The PokerStars website no longer has any information of Rousso including her picture and bio page that were previously on the Team PokerStars list.

According to f5Poker, PokerStars no longer has any information of Rousso on the site and Rousso’s Facebook and Twitter page no longer mention PokerStars. According to reports, it does show that Rousso works with PokerStars.net on her personal page of Facebook but this could just be from the pro not removing the status as of yet.

It is believed that the two parted ways toward the end of January as Rousso was still shown on the PokerStars site up until about a week before February began. Neither Rousso nor PokerStars have made a formal announcement on the subject as to a split or why the two will no longer be working together. More information should be released in the future on the subject.

Rousso will still be a big fixture in the poker industry and can be seen in a few weeks at a seminar featuring poker by focusing on reading and decoding player behavior at the gaming tables.
