    I saw this earlier and thought, "Well the locker will would probably hep." Then I saw it was a Sport. That's some tough terrain for a 2WD no locker truck. I'm sure some talented drivers could figure it out, but, the limited capabilities make it that much harder.

    I watched Matt’s video of the games. These guys have become quiet the entertainers and put on a great event. I have to watch the other driver’s videos to see their perspective and who won.

    Video is an hour and a half. Keeping up is turning into a chore, compared to the easy to watch <10 minute videos he started with.

    I completely agree! I pretty much stopped watching when the wrecker build vids got up to 50 min.

    I hope you wear headphones and do intermittent courtesy flushes.

    I don’t watch those videos. Just watch the recoveries, and even those I skip through some of the content.

    And those ads. Ads ads ads everywhere. I watched the Diesel Brothers San Bernardino recovery and got ads every five minutes or so. :annoyed:

    YouTube external ads. Not the ones “creators” are working into the videos.

    Heavy D does some cool shit but I can’t stand their super dramatic reality TV editing style. Every time I try to watch one I turn it off within the first 5 min.

    Usually I agree. But I have made exceptions for their collaboration with Ghost Town Living and the CA snow videos.

    And remember, they literally got their start on reality TV :rofl:

    Oh yeah I know their background, I had to force myself to make it through their colab video with Matt when they pulled all those cars up the cliff. Just not my style.

    I watch alot more fabrats than MORR these days.

    I watched Matt’s wrecker games video last night. It was pretty entertaining. I thought the scoring/bribe system was hilarious and couldn’t stop laughing about the award for most corrupt judge.

    I’m gonna have to watch some of the other competitors’ videos tonite because they left it to each channel to show their own performance and where they placed. From the little snippets shown in Matt’s video it looked like Merlin and Paul put on more of a show while Matt and Rory took it more slowly/seriously.

    My only complaint was that there are alot of damn ads in a 90 min YouTube video!

    I've watched the MORR video, Fab Rats part 1, and Merlin's. I'm sure I'll get around to watching Trail Mater and BSF's coverage as well.
    I was rooting for Matt to win, but I suppose it shows a little class to take last place and let your guests beat you. And I like the comment from the judges though that "4th loser goes to someone who made the whole thing boring by making it look too easy."
    Of course all the corrupt judging was funny too.
