So how is it? Imagine if America's Next Top Model pitted custom cars against each other instead of vain young hotties. That's Bullrun. In Spike TV's new reality series, twelve teams of auto racers compete to outrun each other on a trans-America trip by beating the time, and challenges, of their rivals. (Typical challenge: pulverize an array of light bulbs by way of hood-mounted spikes). The souped-up cars range from a Lamborghini to a Honda (a.k.a. "rice tuner") to a tricked-out Oldsmobile (Oldsmobile?). Hazards along the way include road debris, local police, and a complete misunderstanding of maps ("Is this the 2 West right here? We're in the wrong fucking place!"). Each team must decide if they want to travel the highway or "my way," a backroads journey that could save time or cost them hours (and countless roadkill). For a dizzying grand prize of $200,000, these racers endure in-car camera surveillance, auto-to-auto mocking, and unforgiving roads (one team saves themselves with the old tampon-in-the-radiator trick). "Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!"
