Shannelle Lorraine on Spike
- Thread starter DoomCue
- Start date
My mom mentioned this to me last week, but I was unable to find any details on their website.
Though I would rather see a true player represent the sport, I am glad to see Billiards getting some attention. I hope that the table rack musters more attention than her rack on the spots tonight, but with Spike, I can't say my hopes are that high.

9:00pm EST during Terminator 2.
She's not bad, but I think shes a bit chunky in the face, other than a few cup sizes I dont think she wants any of Jeanette on a good day.Spade said:
yeah my friend was that lucky guy a while ago...shes not as nice on the inside as she is on the outside....most people arent though.
id take her mother to a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.
her only chance of making a ball drop is if some 13 yr old boy watches spike tv tonight.

If I was given a free ride in a sport I don't excel at all at, I suppose I'd be nice, too. That's what a spokesmodel does. Smile, promote, be nice.
Of course it wasn't talent that got her on television. It's her low cut top and Dragon Promotions' money that paid for the spot. Too bad they didn't do their research and get a real pro like Jennifer Barretta, Jeanette Lee, Sarah Ellerby, Jasmin Ouschan, Sarah Rousey, Angel Paglia, Ming Ng, or a ton of other female PROS who are not only beautiful but can PLAY.
Anyway, I see she's the #1 player in Guam. When did I miss the Guam National Pool Championships? Is this perhaps the ONE tournament she's ever won? Or is this like how Charlie Williams is the self-proclaimed #1 Asian American player despite there not having been an Asian American Championship?

be nice
I thought it was a good piece.I would assume that Poison went to Spike execs rather then Spike asking her about pool,but I don't know.Certainly it is good exposure for billiards and a possitive all around.

tap, tap, tap...We need all the positive exposure we can get, for pool! Spike isn't interested in showing excellence in pool. They're interested in showing pretty girls with big boobs...Shanelle qualifies (and she didn't say anything the wrong way).

Wow. I didn't post this because of what Shanelle looks like, but because there's a pool player on TV. I would've done the same if it was Earl, Nick, Johnny, Mika, Jeanette, Allie, or any other pool player. Seems that some people are taking exception to Shanelle's appearance on Spike specifically because she hasn't proven herself on the table, but she looks good. Fair enough. However, keep in mind that this is SPIKE TV! I think most of the people who watch Spike are male and couldn't care less about whether or not Shanelle can play - they're only going to care about what she looks like. Based on that criteria, she's a great choice - the fact that she can also play a little doesn't hurt.
Take it for what it's worth - it's an appearance on a network whose main demographic is young males. Seems to me that DP did their research as far as that's concerned.
I can't see her appearance on Spike being a bad thing for pool, honestly. For us die-hard players, it really doesn't mean much because we know the truth about her ability. For non-players, though, maybe it means more interest in pool (but I'm not holding my breath).

I thought she did a great job. Shanelle is articulate and relaxed in front of the camera. She seems more comfortable then the majority of the announcers during televised WPBA events and did absolutely nothing wrong while promoting a positive image of the game. I don?t know why there is a need to bash her.
I couldn't find a link to the video.
Anyone have it?

I hope it was worth recording! I recorded the Shanelle piece and unfortunately my DVR can only record 2 shows at the same time so I had to sacrifice House Hunters and I Love Money 2.
In defense of Shanelle, I think she was very professional. Her commentary was smooth she appeared very comfortable in the spots and overall I thought she did a great job. Of course she was there to show the younger crowd that some very attractive women are involved in pool and she did just that. Undoubtedly she was told how to dress and all that but I think she was confident and professional.
Good for pool!
