put your "hands on a hard body" baby

talkin about hands on a hard body, i would first like to say that i totally had the winner pegged from almost the beginning and felt just as jubilant as him (well maybe not he didnt seem that excited, since the truck was going to be his wife's) i feel that if put in that situation i would also do well, maybe not if i started today, but i could train for sure. this film had a real genuine hometown feel to it and the interior dramas surrounding the people with their hands on the truck. i don't think this doc would have been as good as it was without the prior winners commentary. he added the most to this piece. he had philosophy, technique, and downright good advice on how to win that hardbody nissan truck (look honey, it does have a bench seat, just like you wanted) i think that follow up interviews would also be a good tie up, asking them if they did it again what would they have done different. the strategy of this contest was intricate, the religious woman actually started talking about this and when she saw the camera was on her she changed her dialect from english to spanish. the contest really brought out the worst in her at the end. she seemed bitter, i know she was tired, but i didnt trust her throughout the piece and thought that she didnt have the best interest in mind for the other contestants and would love to have seen her lift her hands off of that truck, since earlier she was playing all those mindgames and ploys to get the other contestants to lift their hands off, she was the only one to actively engage in this competition, and she did this viciously jm
