[QUOTE="Lynx23, post: 2073788, member: 309"] I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode and have watched it several times thanks to DVR. I know some BY's have expressed disappointment that certain players were not given greater exposure and I can see why. On the other hand, this is supposed to be a documentary of sorts with "behind the scene" access as the team continues its quest for a another national championship. To get viewership (which pays the bills) one needs to sell the product and you do that in large part through the personalities of its participants. That's what appeals to the casual viewer. This is what happens when game show participants are selected. So who are the most demonstrative personalities on the Huskies? Kia and Lou lead the pack in my opinion, with Gabby not far behind. Pheese and Saniya tend to be on the quiet side, or at least appear to be. Crystal's segment was a nice little side story. Poor kid, probably still trying to figure out how she can get hugged one minute and lambasted the next. It this were "30 on 30", the documentary might have handled things a little differently with more emphasis on who is the team leader, who is the best offensive or defensive player, or who made the most important shot to win the most important game, etc? We're not likely to get that. Instead, we get a fairly long segment on Kia's photo shoot which I'm sure may seem gratuitous to some, but when she is injured in the USC game her loss is simply dismissed as "collateral damage" without any further comment. Welcome to world of entertainment. It is what it is. Frankly, I'm fortunate enough to be able to catch all the SNY shows and am familiar with all the locker room rhetoric and understand each player's contributions to this wonderful ride, etc. I enjoy seeing something a little different, perhaps more so through the general public's eyes. And that's what will sell the product to the casual fan, hopefully bringing in new fans in the process. BTW, for all the complaining about the absence of certain players, I thought the contributions of Shea and Marissa were very much underrepresented. Based upon this episode the public is still wondering who they are and why they're there. [/QUOTE]
