Anyone else watching the Power Snooker on ITV4? I'm finding it a pretty interesting take on the game, amazed how many of the players in the first round didn't seem to have a clue about the rules though.

I quite like it. I think the frame winner should be allowed to break though meaning  theoretical breaks of three or four hundred would be possible. Come on Anyone but O'Sullivan.

Jeeze the live band are awful, you really think they'd have made to effort to listen to them first and realise how bad they are.

I also didn't realise Michaela Tabb was quite so well, er, proportioned!

Selby really should have taken the powerball earlier in that last frame of the semi, or at least tried a magic shot from the power zone. He may well have won if he had.

Ronnie is playing some amazing stuff, just racked up over 500 pts.

I saw some of it and liked it enough to watch it again, but in truth it's probably not as big as ITV4 were trying to make out.  It also wound me up they way they called it a rack instead of a frame.
