I think the discussion has been pretty good even with that fact in mind. Probably because people seem to tend to agree with OP based by what they saw on T.V.

You dodge thousands of players to make the final table in the sport's most coveted event to have someone in forum land call you an idiot. What a dream. :)  lol It's not as if they even got there by implementing something like Jamie Gold border-line cheating antics, Varkonyi dumb-luck, or Jerry Yang prayers. They all seemed to  have decent personalities and  be very decent players, even the amatuers.

Watching poker on t.v. is barely watchable for me. I play online poker and I can't imagine what others think if they don't, or what it would be like if they spent time showing hands with no action or recapping people sitting around...etc. Would it be worse than showing bad attitudes, antics, and personalities?

Ratings are everything... I thought I might throw some stats in about this year's WSOP on ESPN.

"Nielsen ratings of all 30 WSOP episodes were up 6 percent, with a 10-percent increase on main event episodes."
"...Nearly 2.4 million people tuned in for the final table. The Nielsen rating of 1.9 is a 46-percent increase from last year's final table."
