I agree, Denny. I was liking JYW until first they kept putting more and
more emphasis on the competition and then they started specifying the
end product so closely and giving the 'experts' so much authority that
both teams came to the contest with nearly identical machines. At
first, the show was about creating a machine to do a job. It eventually
became 'build this machine'. Which was boring. I basically quit
watching with the 'Tractor Pull' episodes.

The most irritating thing about Monster Garage was that they'd set a
budget, and the competition was supposed to be about if they could
complete the project within that budget. The episode where they turned
a bus into a catamaran, they were using 12ft lengths of 4" square steel
tubing that was 'scrap', so that it didn't count against the budget. I
want' to know where I can find some of that scrap.

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
