This was recently shown in Asia... it was at least 5 episodes, then 'poof' gone! The series started strong with a great rod build. After that a another great rod, this time for Paul Teutel Sr, but the show started to feel like another semi-reality style 'cookie cutter' show. Paul Sr bitching about his son took as much priority as the car.
After that it spiraled down.. potential build off's, everything being up to the last minute, rival company gift sending... seen it too many times. Started to feel like a sell out. So much formula from just about every other Pilgrim production show out there... all they needed was to start digging for gold and it would have everything.
The last episode aired was a return to form. A custom build for the new Austin track of America's... lots of fabrication and mechanical interest.
Jesse has great skills and makes for entertaining watching. It is great to watch weakness break under his alpha-dog style. He needs a show on TV... just one that does his skills justice.
