So, while it probably won't attract any large agencies many smaller agencies who seek more national exposure -- and/or believe they have something to prove -- will see it as a real opportunity.

Somehow, I feel very disappointed. Maybe it's because I was expecting too much? I saw no major climax and felt pretty much scripted (same as other comments).

Anyone tuning in unknowingly would think that's what was on.<br /><br />I've also come to believe that these reality shows are 90% scripted.
