Tough Enough could return on Spike TV; left MTV because of lack of control.

Tough Enough could return on Spike TV; left MTV because of lack of control.
In a radio interview, the WWE’s Al Snow–also the host of the three seasons of Tough Enough–said the show may return for a fourth season on Spike TV. but not on MTV. A WrestleView.com recap of the interview says that “Snow said ideas have been floating around about Tough Enough 4 getting picked up by Spike TV, although nothing has been set in stone.” Why won’t it return to MTV? Snow says that “one of the main reasons for it not returning on MTV was because they didn’t have full 100% control of how everything went down. He mentioned how it had nothing to do with lack of ratings or interest because it drew very solid ratings and was a huge success all three seasons.” Snow also “thinks it’s a crock that people thought [the series] exposed the business too much as the current audience is much more sophisticated than what it was 10 or 20 years ago.”
