Just got home, so I missed the episode and will be catching the re-run, but I'm hoping they mesh better this season and make the show less awkward.

If anything was too staged it was Tanner hitting that car. Both hubcaps fell off at the same time? Rigged.

Sounds like they are almost copy/paste from the Brits. Same ****, different day.
Actually got to meet them in Detroit. Ferrera was cool, we talked about the ATS. Tanner was with his 7ft tall model girlfriend, and Wood was doing something else.

I wasnt impressed with the big rig episode at all. Everything that was susposed to be funny was rigged.

Maybe my expectations were too high because i read this post before watching it?
