Just curious. How do you make a draw like that more exciting? Secondly, I think you got the point across on your first couple of post. Lastly, if it was so dreadful, why did you keep watching?

There's a lot they can do to make it more exciting or interesting. And if they insist on keeping it that dull, then don't bother trying to televise it or promote it. Just do it in 5 minutes and move on with it.

Wow. Ok. But you kept watching. I think it served it's purpose. If someone can tell me how pulling a number out of a plastic bottle and then assigning a horse to it can be more exciting then please do. It's pretty standard stuff.

by using cut aways and other "movie magic"...there's shows about freaking grocery shopping on tv that draw ratings...ANYTHING can get attention if promoted well
