Well I guess I will throw my hat in here.

Living here in TX I saw Jonny Trigg in the doughnut shop in Alvarado TX, Other than that I have not seen or heard anything about his BQQ.

I do know of Ricks in Mckinney TX which is very good restaurant but to see the young kid take a swipe at bqq... well hes seems like a douche bag. I think his score card pretty much tells you the story on him.

Myron... well as said by others you have to have a bad guy so the good guys know what side of the fence to stay on? I think he is not that bad of a guy. He has to be doing something right he has a few skins on the wall?

Having a degree in Radio TV and Film I wouldnt call me a rookie when it comes to judge these shows but its very evident they want to stir the pot. You can tell by the teases at commercial. Example being the drunk guy getting in Johnny Triggs face and talking noise? They were not going to fight, just props for drama to keep people wrapped in for another 22 minutes. Their goal is to keep people talking about it.... period. Good or bad it doesnt matter..... just talk about it.

As for learning something... I dont think there are any real nuggets of info there to this point. I think the likes and dislikes are very different in competition judging verus people off the street. One thing I could never get wrapped in is all the presentation crap. Putting a letticue bed in the meat box to make it "pretty". pffft what ever. If the food does not make it on its own.. the rest is just senseless filler to me.

Only thing i have pulled so far has been their whole hog injector (looks like a bicycle hand air pump with a hose attached) that is grossly over priced (175.00 from Myrons website.)

I am sure I will finish it out but would like to see more technique revieled but I dont see that happening.

Ok, riddle me this batman. Who knows what that blue tank is on top of the young kids smoker? Is that some sort of pressure tank? Just curious.

I believe it is a water heater, or should I say used to heat water from the firebox, at least that is what he said the first episode and you can see one here on Klose web site

I will say about this show what I have said about every reality show.
Cameras on = Reality off

 

[kurtsara]

That's what I have always said also, I have never seen Survivor but a couple friends watch it and they say it is so real, I say once you put a camera in front of someone they are acting

too much drama for me, One of the things I like to watch the shows for is to check out the smokers and learn from them, But for the most part I think that show was just for entertainment. Like all the biker building shows that started out really good and then turned into staged family dramas, Like Orange country choppers. JMO

First real post here......

Living amongst the Hollywierd and have been involved in numerous activities that TV land wants to exploit, I have to say "real TV" sux, cuz it ain't real. The reality is left on the cutting room floor, the drama and the editing is what sells the ads that makes the money, and that is what TV is all about.

I too watched for the tid bits that may be exposed during the shows and there does seem to be a few every now and again. But this is a show about competition, and anytime you talk about competition there will be those who are more than willing to go unbelievably overboard to win a trophy.

Years ago my 6 year old (at the time) wanted to race bmx bicycles. He was pretty talented and we attended a "National" event at a track not to far from home. There were families that traveled all over the country to compete. I learned a hard lesson when my son lined up in the main event for 6 year old "Novice" ranked riders. Next to him was a little girl on a custom made Titanium framed bike that had wheels that had to of cost at least $500 each. This family had three kids, and had traveled 1000's of miles with bikes worth 1000's of dollars so the kids could race. My wife had had a litter of kittens when I spent $300 on my son's bike...."Honey, he's six years old...."

I've been stepping up my BBQ and have toyed with the idea of entering competition at some stage. However, I can already hear my wife saying "Honey it's BBQ......."

Oops I was one of those kids. Was nationally ranked at one point, and raced all over the country. Actually flew to Vegas for the Grand Nationals one year. Now back to BBQ ;)
