Before Junkyard Wars, there were a few American teams on S.C., each acted like real Americans; nice, non hostile, helping the other teams as needed. They won a lot

"Americanize" is producer-ese for "put in bimbos, profanity, and rudeness"

It is embarrassing.

I was watching this on TV the other day. They were building Ice Racers Definitely worth a watch if you enjoy watching nothing turn into something.

#4, junkyard wars was an attempt to “Americanize” the show.

I really can’t think of how they can top the “extra time” show that was to build AND FLY a plane in 2 days.

The fact that they DID it, and all had flyable planes, not to mention the one team that had a plane that was almost perfect just stunned me.

How ANY insurance company allowed THAT challenge just floors me as well (did they KNOW?)

When the show was aired in the US there were no differences from the UK show, it was hosted by, shot in, and the contestants were from the UK (with the occasional aussie).

Ratings in the US were poor, and they stopped airing it. The situation was similar to 5th Gear and Top Gear shows being aired on US tv and then pulled after a couple of series.

This is probably old news, but Robert Llewellyn is being replaced. It won’t be the same.
@4 – I believe Junkyard Wars was based on Scrapheap Challenge, the co-presenter in the US actually appeared here as Llewellyn’s partner for series before Rogers.

Is this basically the UK version of what used to be Junkyard Wars in the US?
