As for the rest of your post - I completely agree.

More to my point..I guess Chuck seems to think that Mrs. Crabtree is going to watch Randy Moss(who I love) and Bailey talk for 6 hours about how Rachel didn't vet out intially or how her running style isn't condusive to poly???.. The ratings would be better with Rachel that is a given but how that influences the future health of the sport is VERY hard to calculate. In fact the negative publicity may just be more beneficial..
