There's no entry fee for the reality show. The main thing is taking the time to do this - could be a month of shooting


It's made very clear to all contestants that they should be willing to sacrifice their car's good looks if they want to compete in this race. You obviously wouldn't be a good contestant :P Neither would I. Fun to watch tho!

Anyways, regarding this last episode - I loved how Goldberg ripped all the teams a new one cause Wu pulled one over them all again. Awesome! Go Team Wu! Those guys are hilariously mischievous in the real rally too.
I could take a month off if they were paying for hotels and meals. That would be easy since my vacation is paid.

I agree that my Z wouldn't be in the show, but I'd totally rock my Dodge minivan. LOL

I also liked how Gold chewed their asses out, but I wonder if it was more for dramatic effect to fire them up and make the show more interesting. I seriously think he hates the Lexus team.

Welcome to the thread on hating the chicks. I think most of us would agree she's annoying.
