I watched the episode last night, and my impression of OP was tight nitty and boring. (I did not know OP was 2+2, just a stranger) I read OP's post and see his explanation of why, but producers made the right decision based on the facts they had at the time.
OP could have thought less of maximazing poker EV and more about promoting himself as a 'fun' player.
You showed no personality at all at the table, if you ever get to a FT or another shot at TV, prepare and have some material you can do to get some airtime.
If you have that in you, might not be for you.

If he is maximizing his poker EV, don't go on a poker show. Certainly there is better table selection than where the criteria for being selected to join the table is that you are entertaining. This is a TV show, and obviously they want to maximize their advertising EV. That means people with personalities.
