Wow caught up with the new season, and had to sit through a clearly staged fake argument between Ballard and Jesse at the distillery when Jesse tried to get him come home, then another fake scenario where Ballard's assistant claimed he saw him in Sturgis when he was supposed to be in Tennessee, and fake reactions by his wife and Jesse. All of these painfully obvious staged scenes are really unnecessary as the drama that ensues during the rally enough on its own is good enough TV, producers you don't need to resort to this nonsense.

I agree...the show used to be entertaining, but it's like they're not even trying to make it appear real anymore. Jesse by far and away is the worst. The dude needs serious acting lessons.

My feet have wings, barf bag.

The new did seem a little staged. The other seasons, however, I don't think we're fake. I just don't think you need to stage much when you are running such a huge business with lots of crazy staff, thousands of drunk customers and decisions having to be made by 3 people. Angie, Michael and Jesse always seem very real and genuine to me. In fact, I think it is the realest show on TruTV.

One thing that people hAve to understAnd is that these people are not actors. Although, Jesse IS an entertainer. What they are is business people that have a lot riding on each and every day of the rally. We are talking about wondering if bills will get paid if there is a bad season. Add to that it touring schedules, other businesses, family, payroll, etc and its numbing. In order to be good hosts, though, thy must put on a smile and a little pep in their voice. This may come across as fake, but it's simply because they don't want to show what a business like this can really do to a person. Michael ad Jesse May often Times spend 20 hours a day at the bar operating it and adjusting to problems that arise. Senior spends another 20 hours a day there. Fajita, Goat, all of them work their fingers to the bone for weeks on end, all to make an enjoyable experience for all. So what if an argument seems staged or put on? These people are putting in ridiculous hours and turning around and putting the profit back into the business to make sure another year will come.

Of course the whole thing is fake. The only reason guys would watch it is to check out Angie and the other women. Then it's amazing how many bikers throw their money away on rip offs at Sturgis.

producers you don't need to resort to this nonsense.

It's all staged nonsense, just like "professional wrestling". It proves that all you need is a show that shows hot women in skimpy outfits and nice bikes, and you have an audience. The soap opera they include isn't worth watching. And the guys in this show are butt ugly and rip off artists, so just cut out the guys and the ratings will go up.
