Questions (in no particular order) raised by the news that CMT plans to air a Trick My Truck spinoff called Trick My Trucker:
- Is this some sort of Punk’d thing where they, like, hide all the cargo from the truckers’ trucks and catch them getting mad on hidden camera? (Nah, it’s a competition show about "two out-of-shape truckdrivers who are confronted about their unhealthy lifestyle onthe road.")
- Who’s the "My" in Trick My Trucker? Do the truckers have significant others or trucking magnates or someone offering them up for the lifestyle upgrades? (Um, apparently not.)
- Okay, so the words "Trick" and "My" in the phrase Trick My Trucker are essentially meaningless — that’s cool. But what’s with the truckers — are they a notably unhealthy demographic? And how exactly will a reward of "fuel moneyfor their rigs" help them stay in shape?
- Why, why, why is the dude from Season 1 of The Bachelorette / Season 4 of The Bachelor hosting this show??
- Is there any chance that MTV will take a hint and develop a Pimp My Rider show, where Xzibit gives personal stylistic and dieting tips to people who drive beat-up cars? Because I would totally watch that.
That’s all I got on this spinoff, folks. Anyone care to try truckin’ up some questions? Answers? Strongly worded opinions?

Apparently not, Simon, huh? I confess I’m as bewildered as you are. Including about the Bob thing. ESPECIALLY about the Bob thing…
apparently, if i remember correctly, bob tried putting out a country cd, and thus the host on cmt
other than that, seems like an “extreme makeover” type of show

It’s a shame that Simon’s idea about hiding all of a trucker’s cargo and watching them get mad on hidden camera sounds about 30 times more entertaining than the actual show.
I thought “Trick my Trucker” was going to be some documentary about truckers picking up prostitutes featuring a sassy Katie Couric-esque reporter who goes undercover as a prostitute and hangs out at truck stops to “trick my trucker”. While spending time in the trucker’s passenger seat, the sassy reporter/prostitute realizes the bigger story revolves around the trucker/john’s bad dietary habits. Of course the real trick could be the astonished expression on the trucker’s face when he realizes that the dude from the Bachelor is hosting the show, as in, “Is this some kind of trick?”
sidenote referring to the picture posted with this:
is it just me or does bob guiney look like he should be jonathan papelbon’s older brother??
Instead of spending time downgrading truckers why dont some of you think about how your products get to the stores that you buy them from. I havent seen a plane or a train invented that can deliver meat, produce or frozen goods to Walmart or have I missed something. Think about 1 thing, without trucks, America stops. Something to think about and definitely worry about.
