but... it's a TV SHOW.

i'm pretty sure that when it comes to tv shows, the world does, in fact, revolve around making good tv.

No, that is not the only important point here, since the people on HSP aren't just playing for our entertainment, they are also playing for each others money - and a lot of it too. So the producers have to keep them happy for them to play at all. I doubt, Brunson, Greenstein, etc. would play in a 500K buy-in NLHE game if the producers forced rules on them that they don't like. There has to be some compromise.
