The problem that we have is that it would be very very easy to add some intelligent commentary during the broadcasts, instead of prattling on about failed marriages and turkey legs and whatever inane comments you hear on any sports or poker broadcast.

Intelligent commentary will turn more people away than the way it's being done now. At least that is what the broadcasters have determined.

Sometimes it sucks to be one of the smart people in a world full of stupid people.
