If it meant changing its format to allow for viewer voting, nah. AI could
have grunting pigs as contestants and still garner decent ratings due to
viewer voting. That doesn't mean it's a quality show. That just means that
people watch because they *think* they are affecting the outcome. I don't
think that CBS/TAR would stoop to those standards.
