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.
