Anyone else watching the season premiere of Ice Road Truckers?

It looks like this could be a really good season. It's already better than season two just for the fact that they got rid of Rick.

1. I plan on watching it!

I'm watching re-runs now. I wonder how much Rick cost them in truck repairs alone??? I'm glad he's gone! What about the guy with all the kids? I won't even try to say his last name but I think his first name is Alex...he got sick last year and didn't know if he'd be able to drive anymore.

:shrug:

2. He's there.

Alex and Hugh are both there this season. They are the only ones from the other seasons. I really wish they could go back to the ice road of the first season, but the diamond mine banned the show from filming there.

3. Do you know why they were banned? n/t

4. The diamond mine didn't like how the show portrayed the truckers.

They thought the show sensationalized the operation and made the truckers look like reckless cowboys. My guess is that more than likely the diamond mine was probably doing some shady shit and didn't want to get caught.

6. Naw, no one dies.

They used the term "first blood" pretty loosely in the ads.
