Real men are too cheap to become official members.

I read that History Channel thread -- good for them to allow dissent on its own board.
Still, no one could figure out whether Wayne was lying when he said he lost a friend that way. They did say that a scraper had died under similar circumstances, so maybe that's who he was referring to. But I agree with you all now: this job isn't nearly as dangerous as it's portrayed. |

Season 3 starts tonite at 9pm. Guess they're gonna be in Alaska this time - hauling 250 miles north of the Arctic Circle from Fairbanks. Hugh and Alex are back, but the rest of the cast is new - including a blonde chick driver. Last season was meh, but I'll watch it since they're driving a new route. PS - The History Channel site says that "hundreds" of talented drivers have lost their lives on these treacherous roads. Do we believe them? |

including a blonde chick driver. I wondered if they would try to bring in some eye candy. |

Okay...let me get this straight....these Alaskans actually put a two inch layer of ice....over a regular road?
Watching this show makes me very nervous...we get those whiteouts here in the winter, and usually someone ends up dead. |

This is such a damn phony deal. I can't believe that Cable let's this crap on. Those guys are in NO DANGER AT ALL! Driving on ice is CAKE! And if
you can see through the ice, THAT'S THE STRONGEST TYPE OF ICE THERE IS!!!

Bump so we can all take a moment to worship the awesomeness of Lisa Kelly.

I love the chick driver. "brakes are for pussies" (or something along those lines).

Anybody watching the new season?
This time around, you have to admit they're in danger. Tumbling off that pass would not be fun. This Lisa -- please tell me she's some sort of a mactress. No way any chick that easy on the eyes would be drawn to trucking. She ought to be modelling somewhere. On the most recent ep, I loved how they trotted out the old truck falling through the ice animation in honor of Jack's run across the sea ice. I loved how he dismissed it as being like somethig you'd see in Canada. Anyhow, you'd think Alex and Hugh would be well known to the the US drivers. Somebody somewhere had to have pointed out a show called Ice Road Truckers to them, if not given them season 1 for Christmas. |

I just finished marathoning the Alaska season.
Highlight of the season? Lisa goes out onto the ice and is bored. Nothing like her Atigun Pass dramas. Correct me if I'm wrong, but she was wearing her rockstar sunglasses at night I love her in those sunglasses.... But then I love her anyhows. Has there has ever been a hero edit so transparent as Hugh's this season? |
