Marc what ever happen with your interview? did I miss a thread?
As I said....
"They interviewed 12 people, 6 were rockcrawlers, 2 were monster truck guys, 2 I don't remember, and you see who the choose. Jesse (the girl) just graduated from Wyo tech, the show sponsor. Ian was a shop teacher from Canada and was on MG. Both were pretty cool, but not the most experienced "extreme" wheelers/builders. I think the UROC east guys from Florida should have got the jobs."
I was one of the 6. Not only did RTM have to interview us, MTV execs in LA and NY had to review all the screen test and they made the final call.
I am a little disapointed, but the more I learned through the weekend I was in Nashville and since then. I have relized it was not all it was made out to be. The group of people they interview had a GREAT deal of knowledge and experience, most more than me. It was a great group and it seems they choose the 2 least extreme/experience builders. Don't get me wrong, Ian and Jesse know their stuff....just not as much as most of the others do. I t seems to me that they picked the hosts that were easiest to lead and would not want to lead thenselves.
The more I learn about it, the more the show seems like a infomercial for various products....It is completely and wholely sponsor driven....Look at the companies between the shows, always the same major brands....Hell, Jess graduated from Wyo tech.
