Did Anyone Watch Motor City Masters?

Since we are on the topic of GM fuck-ups, did anyone watch Motor City Masters on TruTV?

I made it through about 4 episodes and then just couldn't stand it anymore. The designers all seemed like a-holes (I don't know if they are really a-holes or if that was just the spin in the presentation by the producers, that sometimes happens in reality TV). After a while the contestants just got annoying and the show wasn't worth watching. If that is what the people in the car design industry are like, maybe it was a good thing I chose not to pursue it.

The second major turnoff were the judges. Do they know anything about car design? It didn't look like that, they seemed like they should be judging on Project Runway and not designing a car.

Also why was it set in LA, last I checked GM is not in LA. The show should have taking place in Detroit. There are plenty of windowless cubicles in Detroit to work in.

I haven't heard anything about a second season, but if they are going to run it the same way they did for the first season, they should just cancel it now.

Although, I will admit, GM should build the Cruze SS that they designed. Shove a turbo 4 in there and rehash the Cobalt SS.

*Footnote: Don't go searching for images for the show. While trying to find images for this post half of them were the host lady photoshopped into pornography - you've been warned - nsfw.

Perhaps you should adjust your GIS security settings.

I did- I found it interesting as I want to become an automotive designer.

However, I agree with you on the judges. The fact that the judges voted off Darby (Who finished 3rd) because she made a line on the hood of her car red.

WTF? that looks fucking awesome. I mean, I understand it's a thing of taste, so I could understand her getting voting off because of the hood itself, but she got voted off for highlighting it

Also some of the contestants SUCKED!

I mean, the first challenge was to sketch a concept car, Hell I draw better than two of the guys there, and I'm not involved at all in the field. Albeit, I still can't draw 3D OR design something on the computer but that's beside the point. That and this is getting really long for an italics.

The one guys SOLE responsibility was to do the rims, and he fucked that up! (Though he did get fucked by his teammates)

The guy who won fucking designed the Ford GT, I mean come on, he was competing against a girl fresh out of college, a douchbag, one guy who was the one truly nice guy (or kissass depending on how you look at it), and two complete morons.

Would I watch season 2? Maybe, but if it's a repeat of season 1, Ill probably just look up pictures of the cars and designs.

All of the participants should be fresh out of college, and they should have more time (Like a week to design, and 3 days to build). I want quality, not rushed ideas oddly plastered on to cars.

I spent the first 15 minutes trying to figure out why it's called Motor City Masters yet it's not even set in the Motor City. From what I gathered the judges were all auto journalists. Would have better if they were actual car designers.

I haven't seen the show but looking at their list of guest judges it seems they just said "Whatever b-f list celebrities we can get. No they don't need to know about cars or design. "
