Anyone else on here into it. What a start to the new season, filching crew members, a punch up, 2 crew members forced to swap boats, a new captain and
boat and a boat sinking, rivetting stuff.
Jeez I need to get out more.
Cheers,
Bob
i still prefer iceroad truckers although I have to admit that deadlist catch seems to be more genuinely dangerous/dramatic
I tried to watch ice road morons but the hammy performances and fake rivalry made me cringe, same with the over dramatisation and stupid stunts when they filmed the logging programme. I'm not even tempted to watch them any more.
I watched the first few Catches but its canny boring now on the samey samey scale. Bit like Eastenders....
Never been into ice road truckers as I really don't see the point. Its icy, its a truck, don't do it!
Think the last 2 weeks were boring with the herring fishing but last nights was the start of the crab season and was back on form. Couldnt get into
ice road truckers at all.
Cheers,
Bob

Same as all the Yank "Real life" TV programs in my estimentation..
Shouty men getting angry with other shouty men over whatever seems to be the topic of the day, mostly made up by the TV production team to make a
boring program about someone else's job seem more interesting...
It seemed to start with American Hotrod and their impossible timescales...
Can you tell I'm not impressed with Yank TV ?
The only 'reality show' I enjoy these days is The Ultimate Fighter... I'm guessing that a fair bit of the 'house' footage is staged, but the egos and fights are for real!
Yeah the UFC Ultimate Fighter is really good.
Loved the prelim fights to get into the house.
The french guy who claimed that the french are real tough and dont surrender, who then got his ass whopped and wouldnt come out for the second round,
PMSL
Don't even think he got his ass-whooped... he just bottled it!
Probably NSFW!
French Fighter Quitting in UFC Linky
TUF ratings are dropping though. Tito has pulled out of the end fight by all account.
My Sky box is full of UFC / TUF programs, both my kids are big into MMA / kick boxing.
If my boy does well in school over the next few months he's allowed a Dan Hardy haircut (google him) over the summer holidays
Watching 2 almost naked men grappling never really appealed to me.
I like the UFC but then they went and put it on Setanter (or whatever it was) and now ESPN so you have to pay another £10 a month if you want to watch
it!
Not the best move in my opinion and audiences must have dropped.
They're showing the latest Ultimate Fighter series on Channel Five... can watch it OD too.
American Hotrod kickstarted my build...
Enjoyed that too... preferred American Chopper though - especially the early ones where you were seeing the 'real' Teutul's!
