Hi Greg! I'm enjoying the show and it's lovely that you, Ann Marie, and Kristen are willing to answer questions for us!Here's my (very long-- sorry!) question:
Both you and Chris went one-on-one against WNBA stars and you both lost in a close game. My husband and I thought that it would have been relatively easy for both women to take it a little easy on the two of you, but both seemed absolutely intent on winning.
Not only that, but it actually seemed like the woman you played against, on The Fever, was especially determined to win because she didn't seem to want to play the game against you in the first place and felt forced into playing.
Though sports is about giving it all you've got and not letting somebody else win, this past episode was heartbreaking because you had been waiting for so long and wanted to complete the task so badly. I thought for sure that she'd relax a little bit so you guys could pull it off in the end. After all, after practicing for three hours beforehand, she had the perfect excuse.
I guess my point is that if it were me playing against you, I would have looked at how badly Stacey and Doug wanted and you to win and would have fudged it a teeny bit. But no dice from The Fever!
Do you think that this is because the WNBA stars are generally not as respected as NBA players and she couldn't afford (and refused to) get beaten by a guy?
SO, do you think that both teams committed a tactical error by choosing guys to go against her?
Maybe one of the women on Team Cake or Team Exodus would have had a better chance against the WNBA women-- their skills perhaps wouldn't have been as good, but they might have earned a little more sympathy from the WNBA players.
It just really struck me as interesting that neither of you won, and the woman from The Fever seemed particularly pissy about participating, and I wondered if she was trying to teach you guys a lesson.
Sorry this was so long. Take care, and may the best team win!!
