After 2 years in “production”, what a flop
If you take a good look at what was aired on Spike Saturday, it is hard to believe that this production was anything other than a very low budget attempt to hoodwink investors into believing that the obligations on behalf of RRGI management have been met. Al has even come here proclaiming that RRGI has done what they said they would do – have a show air on Spike.
Well, there you have it. You all got your show and I doubt that any of the celebratory mortgage burnings are taking place right now (unless you are a RRGI insider). So beyond airing this piece of crap, what truths do we know?
Big Sponsors? No
Big Racing Names Actively Involved? No
Chasing Dreams at 200 MPH? No
$750k in Cash and Prizes? Anyone still believe that?
Professional Production Company? Sure it was…
National Contestant Search from twenty thousand applicants? And these four were the cream of the crop?
I could go on and on listing another hundred shortfalls and all the pumpers out there know it.
To add insult to injury, they did not even employ good talent and substituted whoever would stand before the camera, including the egotistical brothers playing a major role. Saddie was picked up last minute and has little to no talent in addition to not being any real eye candy unless you like your bleach blondes with black roots. She will not carry the show and the interviews she conducted were laughable. The elimination contests were a joke – stay in the square or the commissioner will deduct points! The commissioner is watching from his office! Start your engines! Now hit the road!
The show went from one small disaster to the next and you had to ask if there was ever a script or if any editing was ever done. Finally the misery was over as there was that GIANT one thousand dollar check presented with everyone having that look on their face as if it were not real – WOW!
I have to ask, if those really were REAL contestants chosen from tens of thousands upon their merits (I bet they are simply friends of the brothers and other insiders), could you imagine going to Florida only to be rejected for not tying your shoe laces fast enough? Really, tell me what picking up a spring placed fifteen foot in front of you has to do with Nascar or professional racing? Is this what you will learn as the apprentice in the infamous Glenn Allen racing team? How were these idiotic and childish tasks relevant?
As you watched this pile of crap dry up in the Florida sun, did anyone wonder why there was a complete lack of excitement on the part of the “contestants”. Even after picking up the springs and wrenches, they simply trotted back to the finish line. I don’t think the folks on survivor or fear factor have been that whimsical. They were all shills.
Like I keep saying – If it aired at all it would be a low budget attempting to display the fulfillment of fiscal responsibility. The ultimate issue will be what did they know, when did they know it, and what false representations were made. RRGI has been little more than a classic scam – Any one care to invest in the Shady brothers next venture – A roller derby knock off? I’d bet that they already have a little pinkie lined up for you to invest in.
