I agree that they clearly have no experience offroad and someone who knows what they are doing would have gotten through anything seen on the show so far unscathed and intact. You can see the most experienced guy, Tanner, doing a much better job then the others. Still, he is more of a go fast rally guy and less Rock Crawler type, so its understandable that he wouldn't have a ton of experience through rocky terrain.
I do disagree that all Rock Crawling stuff is boring and unwatchable though. Plenty of it is, and I've been known to bore people with some of my videos since I have a Toyota with dual transfercases that can crawl at half a mile an hour. You don't have to destroy things and almost flip to make it look cool though. You might have to ramp up the difficulty levels with it though, since video does no justice to most offroad obstacles.
At the end of the day I didn't really care that they suck and that they break stuff all the time. At least they are self-professed noobs, which can't be said for that other stupid show where the Jeep gets dropped off on a mountain and the "professional offroad driver" has to drive it down. Not only is it the single worst example of the biggest taboo in offroad (that being going off the desginated trail) but there are so many ways that the dude sucks at picking routes and his driving technique is very questionable too.
There are some good shows that do an allright job showing off some decent entertaining offroad driving that doesn't involve destroying stuff. Dangerous Roads does a good job, Xtreme 4x4 is pretty good, and I'm sure I've seen others. Heck, even TGUK has done some fun stuff with the Bowler wildcat that was plenty entertaining but non-destructive.
I think it would be neat to put them in some tube buggies or something and take them on some truly hard and scary stuff. Looks like the TG UK guys might be headed to Baja in the next few episodes, so that should be interesting.
