More proof this show was fake...


During a “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit, contestants Jake Glazier from Season 4 and Seth Martino and Justin Dearinger from Season 6 discussed their experience on the show. The Huffington Post then caught up with them and they further exposed what went on behind the scenes.

Some of the props that were used to “pimp” these rides were immediately removed after filming. Dearinger said that the “pop-up” champagne addition and a “drive-in theater” that was installed in his car were removed because producers did not want to promote drinking and driving with the champagne and the drive-in theater wasn’t safe for driving on the street. Martino said that a robotic arm that was added on to his car was “controlled by commands that were entered into a laptop by the spiky haired guy off screen” and that in actuality it “was just a robotic arm with a bunch of wires hanging out of it.”

Martino said that the televisions in the headrests and LED lights in his car seats stop working after the show. The cotton candy machine was installed in his trunk without leaving enough room for the dome top to keep the cotton candy “from flying all over the place.”

The homes in which Xzibit would arrive to to “surprise” the contests were not actually their homes. They were rented by MTV. The contestants were also scared into having an enthused reaction when they saw their car after its make over.
