Yup, that's pretty much it. I PVR it so I skip the ads and, more often than not, Brad's off the top spiel.

I Couldn't have sum that up better...

I missed taping a couple of episodes because I forgot to change the name from Motoring 2010 to 2011.

Then I set it to record TSN HD at a certain day and time and it recorded one of those games of Ping Pong where the players stand on a big legless concrete table.

So I had to set it to record every episode at all times - just to get one that wasn't preempted or butchered.

Now I have to delete 4 or 5 a week.

It seems like in these contests - they first pick a winner - then slot it into a category and pick it for some unrelated reason.

Like the WRX winning over the pony cars because it's better in the corners. Shouldn't AWD have its own category?

Or Consumer Reports Sportage beats the Juke because it carries more cargo?

That's like a dump truck winning all categories because it can haul more gravel.

Well, the only category the Juke deserves to win hands-down is "Ugliest New Vehicle".
