I tried watching that show last night for a laugh, but couldn't stand the host.  His delivery is as annoying as the driving. :P

First two episodes were Sunday night. I wished there had been more commentary from the panel of experts (a YD instructor, a race driver, a psychologist, and Jim Kenzie). Lots of time was spent showing just how bad the drivers were but the show is entertainment and isn't intended as a learning experience for the viewer as well as the participants.

Ugh, I can't stand how stupid TV has gotten. I couldn't watch this for the same reason I can't watch the Gotti family. To me supporting this crap makes it more acceptable.

Yep, that road rage guy was a little frightening, especially those stunts on the 401, cutting in front of people and then slamming on the brakes. I thought it was interesting that they showed his real license plate in those shots. Maybe as a public safety message.

I am very disappointed in the Discovery Channel in the last year or so. It was once an educational source but now has stooped to what sells to the masses….stupidity. Thank fack for PBS

There can't be any "worst drivers" for the Discovery Channel to find - they are all here.. ;)

so since these people are all supposedly going for the title of "worst driver" doesn't anyone think they could be laying it on a little thick? ie: being even more boneheaded than normal just to spike the ratings or grab their 15 minutes?
