1. What American still left in the tourney is being more entertaining than any of the Europians?
2. You say "that people love to watch people they can relate to..." do you realize that this is the WORLDsop not the U.S.sop?
3. I'm done being trolled for the day
I did not mean USA vs China would get higher ratings than USA vs Finland in the entire world. I thought it was obvious I was talking about ratings in this country.
Now, let's assume that you have 9 Americans at the final table with no personality OR that you have 9 Russians at the final table with no personality. Which table is going to get higher ratings in this country? Obviously the one with 9 Americans. Human nature is such that we are generally more interested in people who are like us than those who are different. So if you've got some random guy from Texas at a final table then you've got a whole bunch of viewers in Texas saying "Hey this guy is from here, that could be me." You aren't going to get that with a player from Russia.
