Anyone see a commercial for this "Alaska offroad warriors" on the history channel? Premiers on Nov 30th at 10:00et/pt.
Suppose to be a race in Alaska starting from the pacific to the arctic.
My buddy told me about it.

Yeah I saw it. .... just wonder how much of it will be horribly scripted, overacting and fake. ....buuuut being a car/truck show I'll still probably watch it. Peer pressure is a *****! Lol
 
From reading the pre-release blurbs (and knowing that it's going to be on the History Channel), I can tell you right now that there's going to be a little bit of (stupid) driving and a lot of manufactured drama. If you liked Jersey Housewives or whatever and those stupid tuna boat shows, you'll like this one too.

I'm sure that every single guy featured on the show is probably a very competent wheeler. I'm also sure that a show about competent wheeling is not what the producers have in mind. They're going to make them drive stupid, they're going to make them get in fights with themselves and the other teams, they're going to film it all, edit out all the parts that aren't ridiculous, and then what's left is going to be the show.

Im sorry but Top Gear US Sucks!!!! I can only watch the UK version now. That stupid Adam guy pisses me off for some reason. Prob his mole........

Word. Top Gear US is a pale imitation. Those guys would probably be ok if they were allowed to do their own thing, but they can't do Clarkson, Hammond and May the way Clarkson, Hammond and May do Clarkson, Hammond and May.

that's because lawyers in the usa get there foot, ass, mouth, etc into everything.

if 1/2 the things the uk did was to happen in the usa, that show wouldn't make it past the 1st season.
 
Anybody watch this on Sunday? Watched it on YouTube and there's a 1st,2nd gen 4Runner, "77" land cruiser competing in it. Nice.

Yeah the rover guy was being a douche. ......*****ing at them for busting through DOWNED trees and overheating an hour into the drive on the 4runner? Also how did none of them have to refuel or why does no one have an onboard welder? Also wtf on the rover getting stuck in sand. ....no freaking locker?????
 
2cd Gen is sweet. All the vehicles are pretty cool. But Yeah, they're going to add a bunch of drama to keep it "interesting".
 
I was pretty disappointed.

I was giddy with excitement when I saw the preview and saw that 1st gen. Runner (cause I have one). Then I learned what was all in it. Pretty stock cept for a 6'' lift, 35in. tires and looks to be a home built front bumper. No locker and 4.29 gears...was that a mistype?
Then it overheats less than 15 minutes into the show? Really?

If that's the kind of stupid crap that happens on that show, I believe mine can keep up with those guys and I have smaller tires.
 
I'm with 470SNC..... Cool rigs, horrible characters. And what's with calling the Jeep, "Super Jeep"? There's nothing "super" about it. 250hp and rusting bumpers falling off is pretty damned far from "Super".
 
I finally watched it tonight. Absolute amature hour. But then again I expected as much. Rigs are poorly prepped, teams appear to be a bunch of misfit drama queens & the show is just another soap opera designed to further dumb down the people that view it. I feel like I lost 20 IQ points in the hour that I wasted on it. Will I watch another episode? I highly doubt it!
 
That is unfortunate that the producers feel that in order to get TV ratings, you need to have all of this made-up drama and stupidity. I would be a lot more interested in a real documentary about experienced wheelers, making intelligent decisions, in a real-life harsh/difficult environment. You could do episodes in a cold environments, a hot desert environments, in the mountains, in swampland, etc. I would like to see how knowledgable people survive and drive in those environments, the type of rigs they are using, how they deal with real problems, etc.

I just get pissed at the mind set of these "reality" show producers who think we are all that f'ng retarded or that we need to be "entertained" by bunch of fools. Am I the only one that wants to learn something? I hope not.
