Le Convoi de l'extrême

Used to be interesting despite the overall repetitive nature of it harping on the dangers seemed neverending to pad it out.Had seen it for a while but just started watching again and it really has rapidly declined into a soapie,hugh & vlad are just totally loathsome backstabbing babies.Even Darryls become quite irritating the whole thing is now too repetitive & scripted

Basically, it's show of where the premise of possible disaster is the entertainment while also filled with fake scinarios (scripted hostility between main characters).

I have been suspicious of this being staged for a long time. Now I know for sure after seeing Todd getting his rig stuck on a tight turn. Even a novice knows you do not make a sharp right turn from the very right hand side of the road. It looks to me it was done on purpose to give the show something that a trucker might do to try to get out of trouble. A trucker would never put a rig in that position to start with, even with the least amount of experience. Good By IRC.

Channel 5's new television series, "Ice road truckers" was suitably intriguing at first sight. Further into the series we are introduced to more and more characters and we see their personalities unravel before our eyes.

We learn about aspects of their job such as the huge machines they use to carry out their bidding, and what kind of a life they lead while trawling the Ice Road. All the truckers we see are working for the head honcho "Hugh Roland" a big, hairy, macho man nick named "the polar bear" by his employees.

Soon enough, the true personality of the drivers is revealed; from the very likable southern Californian "T.J." to the rather arrogant Rick Yemm. That brings me to another point, the swearing. Unfortunately the drivers tend to swear every other sentence which leads to a series of very annoying beeps.

The introduction for every episode has so far been repeated from the pilot episode, which has lots of cheesy introductions like Alex's line where he says "It's called the dash for the cash" which makes for some cringe worthy viewing. Apart from these small hang ups (and all the other stuff I have no doubt forgotten) Ice road truckers makes for a likable documentary and some easy Friday night viewing.

Short and sweet and to the point. Is anyone aware or understand that this show is a Reality Show? So what makes a Reality Show? Google has your answer if you need help in finding what a Reality Show is all about Google it This show was awesome and for anyone who loves to drive them big rigs Watch Ice Road Truckers. In my opinion the music blended right in with the suspense of driving on Ice and making it across to the other side safely. They did an awesome job with the drama on the show. Didn't this make you watch what happens next? I mean really that's what Reality Shows are made for and people criticize too much on the Characters personalities These characters on the show are definitely not the people in real life off camera. Does anyone follow what I'm saying?
