LMAO!!!
There is a definite gender gap on the Ice Road Truckers. I just don’t get it. I know no woman who gets it, yet men go crazy for that show. Sunday night I get a phone call about 6:30 from my husband. “Don’t call from 8-9. It’s the Ice Road Truckers season premiere!”
The best answer I can get on why men love it so much is that a really big truck might fall through the ice. That’s it.
:( sniffle. I like that show. I also like to watch Deadliest Catch.
For me I guess its the drama of cracking ice. I used to do a lot of ice fishing and snowmobile riding on lakes and used to walk around on Lake Erie (it was in our back yard) as a kid. We thought the frozen water spouts were neat. It's an adrenaline rush to hear the ice cracking.
The ice road truckers are crazy. They are driving 120 miles north of the arctic circle. There was a gal ice road trucker last season. I wish they would have given her air time like the guys.
Well I won't lie--that's a big part of it :)
Sunday was the first time that I'd ever really watched the show. (The temp. was so hot here that watching a show with lots of ice was very appealing :)
But the more I watched, the more absorbing it became. Men were acting like men, and they didn't apologize for it. It was refreshing!
No metrosexuals allowed in the ice truck--LOL :)
