Its pretty cool to see a semi stock Jeep do those things...
From the clips that I've seen, I'm not sure I'll be able to suspend disbelief enough to be entertained vs. frustrated. Some pretty boneheaded stuff going on there, but it's a produced TV show after all, so I get it. Cool to see more exposure for the sport on a mainstream channel.
Also, I note that they're running a proper snorkel, so we know they're legit.

I had a reminder set to watch it but we had a family dinner last night. Guess I'll try to watch it online today or tonight
i imagine that they ran an older jeep as they knew there would be breaks and failures. i could see how if this were a new jeep being used, that could potentially hurt sales. doing it this way, you could reasonably suggest that a new jeep wouldn't have the same problems.
well, it is jeep and at the hands of a good driver, they can do a lot.

:cheesy: as a matter of fact, they are running a proper snorkel.
it's definitely a "show" and i'm all for it. i truly hope that it does well as it would help to open the doors to more shows like it.

Caught the Bug
I watched it, I thought it was was a decent show. One thing to keep in mind, the point of the show is survival and that they only have the 'car' to survive off of. That's the point, it could very well be a mini cooper or a Land Rover, they can only use what's in the 'car'. I did find the mud bogging segment quite hilarious. He drove right down the center in the soup instead of off the the side where it appeared to be more solid. I'm not sure of the drivers background, but he did alright in some other parts of the show.

Foreshadowing?
Alright, I watched first 5 minutes.
Premise:
Ex-military/bad-ass guy who knows his stuff and is in excellent physical shape, helps a "not-so-in-shape" guy that doesn't know nearly as much as the first guy, and isn't comfortable in his environment, get through the mess they are in using a jeep.
I believe this might be the exact same premise as what will appear on the JKX video with GCM 2 and MTG!
Greg, will you talk to me in a British accent?

Wasn't a bad show. Definitely have to keep in mind that its taped to get TV ratings but still wasn't bad. Hopefully it will pave the way for more shows like this.
honestly, i'm sure ALL of it was scripted down to the annoying comments. it's a show and far from reality - i understand that and like you, hope it helps to make more shows like this possible.
oh, i will also say that i find it hard to believe a show like this to be done here in america. even on this show's facebook page, there are people pissed off that they essentially cut through a pristine rain forest to make this show possible. i can't imagine anywhere here where you could do that without catching all kinds of hell.
