Default Bull Run

Anyone catch the 1st episode, I like the show alot, its really something different as opposed to the 20 million other reality TV shows.

I am rooting for, of course the Trans Am!!

I thought it was cool, but I can't shake the feeling it's all staged... or at least alittle rigged. Dunno...

its ok...i dont like the fact of elliminations....they should keep all the teams in it till the end and base it on the best overall time.

i have a feeling those stunts are gonna get worse as far as possible damage to said vehicles. sucks for them if they cant drive.

My bro said the same thing but I retorted that if its just who is fastest, then I'd build a car that has great power, good gas milage and thats very light i.e. gutted.

I like that its more then a speed dash, I also bet that there was legal issues with the show, they said, if you speed, your on your own.

well yeah...you can do that but thats why they give you 2 options (MY way or the Highway)....and also, they are probably gonna start giving you prizes if you choose a certain route (the 45minute tag) which is gonna make things difficult. so having the fastest best gas guzzler machine isnt gonna be as cut and dry as it sounds. some of those navigators sucked...lol

I watched it and it was pretty good. The Trans am guy at least knows how to drive a little.

Should be a good show. They actually called me back after I applied for it and did a phone interview. Could have been me and my car on there
