Américars: rapides et musclés

I'm a fan of this show but it seems the latest series (2019) has lost its way a bit. It seems more serious than before and less fun?

First up I can't stand that Russell guy. Literally he is that typical American reality TV (if I shout a lot then it's entertaining) presenter...all he does is look smug, cross his arms constantly and goes everywhere with Richard.

He isn't even helpful with car builds. Instead of giving advice he just points out what is going wrong. Literally what does he do? I know, he must of bought shares in the show or invested money into it, as there's no way he is a good co presenter. It's like be read the rulebook on trying to be larger than life personality but he just comes across like a 'look at me I'm great' individual. Sack him pls.

Also not many episodes tbh and you can tell it's getting a Hollywood slick production now so it's not really for the car guys.

Rawlings must get paid each time he calls for a Lite beer.

Love the old cars, but not a fan of Aaron's spectacular visions which usually would have been better off left alone. To me the guys in the garage and support builders are the hero's of this show.

Reality my ass! Wish I had friends that would pay such inflated prices for the crap they turn out. Outside making money from the show itself I really doubt making money as depicted.

I used to watch fast n loud a lot more than I do now. i like watch fast n loud to see what cars Richard buys. And interested to see what Gas monkey does with those cars.

I get tired of hearing that there is a deadline and they must hurry to get the car finished. They seem to always be behind schedule. Ii don't watch fast n loud to see if gas monkey gets a car fixed up by the deadline which they always do so where is the Suspense. I am not interested in whether Richard loses money on a deal or the mechanics get fired because they did not finish the job on time.

On the episode I watched they did not say that they were behind schedule a lot. It seems like they did say that a lot more in past seasons.

I like the car part of fast n loud. The rest of it I can live without.

Okay, I get it... Aaron moves on, wants to be "Talent" instead of a shop-guy... but at least replace him with someone I can watch.

Aaron by no means Is worth watching in his own (I tried, but he doesn't have the "it factor"), but at least he wasn't so annoying that I can't watch like this Russell guy.

I already cancelled Garage Rehab due to this loud obnoxious character (I hope that's not his real attitude)... it looks like I'm going to have to stop Fast-n-loud now unless they bring on another reasonable character (heck, promote Mike or see if you can sign Dennis for bigger pieces).

Please, I really like the show overall... tone down this guy in some fashion or put him behind the scenes / a guest character so I can watch the show. 3-4 min of him tops or I need to check out.

I used to love the show when they made rough vehicles into affordable daily drivers but think they lost their way when six figure restorations became the norm. If I wanted to watch Overhaulin', I would do that. I still watched the show until Russell joined the cast. Seriously, does Richard owe this guy money or something? Truly scene poison, this fat fork lift operator is an untalented sidekick that offers an anchor to a sinking franchise.
