We like Courtney Friel. Not did she score the requisite 10 on the attractiveness meter that lands someone a position like Hostess of the World Poker Tour, but she was bright, funny, and approachable during her time on the show. Of course we are biased. Courtney has always been gracious enough to suffer our questions with good humor and is still an enthusiastic source of information. In short, we will always think that it was a mistake for the WPT to let her escape. Their loss is Fox News's gain. With that said, Kimberly Lansing and Layla Kayleigh have just finished their first stint with the World Poker Tour. Should they stay or should they go?
Over the last few years May has not only brought on a fireworks display of blooming flowers, diets as people start to think about that summer bathing suit, but it has invariably also been the time that the hostess du jour gets their pink slip from the WPT. So what will this month have in store for their current dynamic duo?
We are not mind readers here. So seeing as clairvoyance is not really our thing, we have no idea what the WPT HR department is going to do. Getting rid of them and starting the next season with another new hostess would be a mistake. Both of these girls have performed admirably and been everything they should be. Both Kimberly and Layla are physically stunning, as well as knowledgeable and entertaining. On top of that, all indications point to the fact that the fans like them.
The worst thing the WPT could do is repeat the mistake they made when letting Courtney go. The fact that Shana Hiatt is now available may tempt them into trying to rekindle that relationship, and bring back a fan favorite, but once again, this would probably be a mistake. What is that old saying about the value of a bird in the hand?
