Shows and the boards are really 2 different things. And even then, the boards aren't the battlegrounds they used to be. not a lot of pros here anymore, even though it's much tamer than is used to be. Maybe the Wild West nature of the 2004/2005 versions are what attracted the pros here. Maybe companies have told guys to be careful here. Maybe MD is pulling a lot of GB pros away. I dunno.
Whatever the case, it was all class, from top the bottom. The venue, the flow of the show, the way the athletes behaved up there, the audience for the most part, and the hosts.
