I think that the reason most people like it is b/c that is the only thing they are good at and they want to get on t.v.
Shoot, I am on t.v. every year. I work the Nat's in Houston. When I first started, I was trying to get on t.v., never happened. Then I started to try to NOT get on t.v., now it happens all the time. I think this year I got my 15 minutes of fame.
