Did you guys catch it last night? That kid has a real attitude problem, I can't believe it took Boyd that long to fire him.

Bluebear, what a jackass. I dont have much respect for Boyd himself but to let blue bear get away as long as he did? The kid must be o so stupid.Boyd was paying for the parts and paying him to work on his own car and bluebear couldnt see past the safety issue of boxing the frame.

Why can't the networks use someone with class, Boyd don't got any.

Im with you Stuart. When we watch rides, they have RadRides by Troy, and they all seem to get along and be cool. Last week with the Hammer, everyone in that shop seemed to get along and be cool. Its cause Boyd has drama...and for the networks, drama sells.
I wonder what it has done to his sales?

Thank god they fired that moron.

I agree. makes you wonder if he is related to one of the producers. I've said it before , Iliked Boyd better when he was fat. He had a better personality.

I am so glad he got fired, he sure deserved it. Many shows ago. But Boyd though - what an egomaniac. I could never work for someone like that. He should have never put Bluebear - what is he, like 18? - in charge of a team under such pressure. Then he didn't bail him out, and had confrontational meetings with him in front of his coworkers - very unprofessional. Boyd doesn't know how to manage worth a darn.

I watched that show for a little while when it first came out, but found the drama annoying, along with a "get a bigger hammer" / bandaid mentality really turning me off.

They should've never even hired this Bluebear goof in the first place, and then hanging onto him as long as they did? Good grief...

I wonder how the owner of a finished vehicle feels after watching the show? What with all of the Ooops, Uh Ohs, Oh Boys being shown on national TV - yikes!

I guess Boyd does not know when he fires a guy he needs to have a check ready.I think most of that show is just a big act.Unprofessional in an understatement.
