Who the hell is NOT going to watch this
Well If it is the channel I'm thinking of, then you should get a good audience for it, as long as it holds the interest. The concept of using women was smart since that is what you mainly see on ESPN pool wise whenever they do decide to broadcast it so people will of course know Jeanette, who is the only pool player that non pool players know. Plus the women have the sex appeal to keep the attention of the average Joe and they might have an empowering appeal to the average Jane flipping through the channels.I am not allowed to mention the network until they release the information, which won't be for a few months. There is still a LOT of work to do and production starts in mid March. I can tell you that this network is the largest cable network on air and has had the #1 reality show for the last several years. And before you pass judgement, this show has been designed for BOTH pool players and non-pool players. There will be content to appeal to both, but the idea is to reach a very broad audience, and this particular network spends a LOT of money in advertising on competing networks as well as broadcast networks. I can tell you that the girls are VERY excited to work with each other. You may see 2-3 pool shows on TV over the next 18 months, but none of them will be like this. And if you don't know these women personally, after the series, you will, and you will want to check in for season 2.
Jeanette Lee, Loree Jon Hasson, Rachael Abbink, Akiko Kitiyama, Shanelle Loraine, Kathryn Fairchild and Dawn Fox.

I'm going to watch it regardless... hope it does well for you.
People who arent pool players...
Exactly, I never bought a storage locker, never blew into a duck call (ever) and never been married to an Atlanta Housewife, but I always seemed to get stuck on those channels. There's something about Nene Leakes or whatever her name is... she's one funny ass lady.Well, folks that were NOT white trash hillybilly MOFO's still tuned in for that honey boo boo crap
At least here, there is going to be good looking woman in the process, and sex sells, always did, always will.
Come for the girls, stay for the pool
This particular network averages 3+ million pairs of eyes for each of its shows, compared with TruTV 800K, SpikeTV 1.2M, Bravo, 1.6M, Animal Planet 1.8M, Discovery 2.25M, NatGEO 2.6M, most of which we have/had shows on. I have personally spent hours with these women, getting their back stories, so by the time of the series finale, you will know these women on a personal as well as a professional level. Their stories are just incredible and will be built into the show in various episodes.
This one appears to be no longer a concept but an actual thing that is going to happen.How is this different from the other pool reality show conceps that has been presented here?
Because Pool isnt enough by itself to attract the average Joe to tune in.Why do the female players need to dress like pornstars?
Correct. If people gave a shit about pool then the average professional pool player would net more then a middle class salary... and I think I'm being generous by saying they are bringing in that much.Is there so little content or interest in pool, that the only way to get an audience is to focus on tits and ass?
You want to watch Efren like that?I'm not a huge feminist by any means, but should male players wear spandex and play without a top?
That seems like a fair comparison to me.
