'If the typical viewer isn't interested in watching unless all they telecast are showdowns, BG's got no shot at ever making it (in the US, anyway).'

I take a slightly different lesson from this. Perhaps we need to televise backgammon differently to better meet the desires of the average viewer? I am not suggesting that we lose the expert commentary and start just showing people rolling 66 66 to win a hopeless race but a better balance might make the game more initially appealing.
