Not exactly cerebral, but it's always fun to see cars crashing!!!

Hate the presenters and contestants, but the stunts are fun-ish.

I have to wonder why the best friends insisted on rushing the trailer challenge when all they needed to do was wait for the straight and then go up the ramp.


Anyone else watching?

I think this was originally aired on 8/26, and I swear I remember a discussion thread, but I can't find it. There is a new one tonight.

Not a bad show, although not Wipeout worthy. Looks like it would be really fun to be on, though.

Sorta cruel to set it in Detroit.

I'm surprised lawyers signed off on this. I mean when you have idiot contestants in a Crown Vic driving off of flat beds into the path of a camera crew, in the one place where there's a break in the Jersey Barriers...

Great use for old taxis and cop cars, but horrible casting all around. Finding people in the happy medium between boring and completely crazy would be nice for contestants.

I watched the first episode, didn't bother to keep recording it... I like reality shows, but there're far more other shows that I'm not keeping up with to record this one!

Seems like I saw an ad for this several months ago, but didn't know it was airing. Looked like something I'd enjoy. I'll have to see if there are any more episodes scheduled to run.

Someone at ABC thought "Wipeout is a hit, what if we did it with cars?" and then failed miserably. Annoying contestants, inane seriously unfunny commentary and no Jill in sight.

I don't think it's too bad. Definitely a wipeout clone. Watchable, but not a must-see. Don't like the fact that there are teams of two, but only one can drive at a time (yeah, I know, hard for two people to drive), but no real point in doing teams if that's the case.

Single drivers who don't talk to themselves are boring.

Single drivers who do talk to themselves are crazy.

In other words, the interaction with the passenger is the reason for having teams.
