Given what the show is about, I think that we got about the best treatment possible. The official A&E description of "The Competition" says:

"Terry Bradshaw, will take viewers inside the action of some of the country's most outlandish competitions to meet the people whose passion reveals a lot about America. Through colorful interviews and in-depth coverage of the players, The Competition explores these contests and the people who enter them with one goal in mind: winning."

With that as their focus, we can't be surprised that they concentrated on the regional competition event itself, and de-emphasized some of the more important elements of FIRST. Overall, I think that the show portrayed FIRST in a good light, and did a lot to promote FIRST. All the comments I have heard so far from non-FIRSTers (i.e. all my neighbors that I made watch the show so they would finally understand what we were doing all those times in my garage at 1:00 in the morning in the middle of February), have been very positive.
