If you're a real motorhead, you'll love this show. Based on a real roadrally event, 12 teams of 2 are going to go coast-to-coast in a combination of rally racing and car challenges, in order to stay in the rally. $200,000 goes to the winning team. Bill Goldberg (who's a real car enthuisast as well) hosts. Think the Cannonball Run on steroids.

The real stars of this show aren't the drivers tho, it's the cars...all the way from a '65 Mustang to a 2007 Lotus are in the competition.

here's the website if you want to see the cars and the teams...

OMG, I caught a marathon on Spike yesterday. I missed the very first episode, but saw from the 2nd until there were, I think 5? teams left. It kept giving a scroll that a new ep. would be on Tuesday night, so I assume the marathon brought me up to date.

I was hooked. Seriously, I watched four hours of this show straight, on a day when playoff hockey was on all day. This show is awesome. Love the father/daughter, and the Mexican guys in the 57 Chevy. :-)

I've been watching since the start. I didn't see this thread because I only use the new message search and (until now) there have not been any new messages.

There are 7 teams still remaining. You can watch the previous episodes on line at:
Bullrun Full Episodes

The 57 Chevy guys crack me up. At one point, they were driving with surgical masks on and the windows cranked wide open (even though they were freezing) because their exhaust was messed up and they were inhaling fumes from the engine. They just about always end up in second to last, but have been saved 3 of the 5 weeks by other cars breaking down.

The father/daughter team are good and fun. I can't figure out why he makes her drive all the miles during the leg, but he drives during the head to head challenges. I guess he must think he's a better navigator?

I'm thinking either the Ford F150 or the Lotus will win, but I wouldn't mind seeing the father/daughter Trans Am take it all.

I missed the very first episode, Bob... was there something specific that happened to the Lambo to cause the clutch to slip? (Not the racoon roadkill, waaayyy before that.)

I've been curious as to why a Lamborghini couldn't beat out an Olds or an F150.

The Lambo boys were complaining that their clutch was slipping from the start, but the other teams thought they were making it up. There was no real explanation, but the clutch finally did them in. Hitting that raccoon didn't help either!

The Lamborghini was for sale on eBay, but the high bid of $167,600.00 did not meet the reserve. It did get a new clutch, but the front bumper still needs replacing.

All the teams signed the front bumper, so I wonder if Jeff plans on keeping that if/when it sells.

Ah, thx Bob. I thought maybe something had happened in the first leg (a challenge, maybe?) that caused it to slip.

What do you wanna bet that his 'reserve' price for the car is $200k? The same amount he didn't win on the show...?

I have watched from the very beginning. I hope that the father/daughter takes it all. I love cars although I don't always understand the technical stuff. But I would watch anything that Goldberg was on!

Oh my Gosh! I really thought the Lexus boys were gonna win the whole thing!

I'm still rooting for Team Trans Am. I missed last week's episode, so I was SO relieved last night to tune in and see Team Honda gone. Love this show.

The season finale is next Tuesday, 5/15.

Here's the final 3 teams:

Team 4 Team 9 Team 11

2 of my 3 teams are in the finals. The Lotus boys really blew it. After the way the other teams keep ganging up on the Oldsmobile brothers, I'm rooting for them to win. The Father/Daughter Trans Am would be my next choice and the Ford F150 guys have kinda gotten on my nerves.

It seems to often come down to who is getting the better gas mileage, although the Olds brothers do get lost quite often.

I was really hoping the Charger boys would've been able to pull it out and send the Olds boys home. That Olds driver guy, he's a real piece of work. He drives me crazy, lol. I'm OK with the F150 guys, I guess. But I'm still holding out for Trans Am. She's been the only female since the 2nd episode, hey?

Man, this show is a lot of fun.

The funny thing about the last episode is that if the Olds brothers had been the team to stall out, I'm sure none of the other 6 would have been willing to let them tune up their car and have another run. Even better was watching all the others whine that the Olds brothers would just slowly drive up since they could not possible beat the F150's time, but instead they rocked it and won the challenge by a second.

Interesting that the 6 that were so big on sportsmanship and wanting to give the Charger boys another run couldn't find it in them to congratulate the Olds on a great run.

WOO HOO!

This is the very first time in the history of me watching reality shows, that the team/person I've chosen from the very get go is the one to win. What a great finale. I sure hope they do this one again.

If I saw the times on the board correctly, it looks like they won by about nine minutes.
