What is the benefit of removing the centre lines from the table?

I had the same thought... the table just doesn't seem right to me...

But I am still excited about this idea. Interesting to see both genders of the same team cheering for each other too. I like how the coach would hand the players' their towels, and have a few words with them in between. I don't fully understand the new rules of this tournament, but I am open to them since it's like a TV show!

I wonder how are they going to recover those 1.5 million $ without having an overcrowded stadium

In majority of the sports, ticket sales income is not even close to getting the cost to breakeven.
Other forms of income would be higher than ticket sales

But again, this is a show, and like all other shows, you don't need a stadium

There is a lot of money spent here. So it better be good.
Not often we see so much money get spent on TT, so this is a good start

Just imagine all the flight and accommodation cost for the whole production team.
Marketing costs
I would say the prize money is not even 50% of the total cost.
