Knows what a fatty is.
I have no idea what you are talking about...what happens at Havasu stays at Havasu :-D
Though I much preferred season one... Any BBQ show should benefit BBQ in general. I think they could work a Friday night challenge in addition to a regular competition they were filming at. OR could incorporate footage of actual contests with an outside iron chef style contest.
Who knows.
Whatever the format is... I think it will help promote BBQ

At the risk of taking quite a bit of heat for this, I'll write it none the less:
Nordy, respectfully, I'd like to disagree with you on the point where you said "any BBQ show should benefit BBQ". Mind you, I think BBQ getting air time can be a good thing. I think certain bbq-brethren getting their 15 minutes of fame is great (if they wish to get it this way). Guys like Big Mista and others it helps promote their name and resulting in more business for them (I hope). However, I think certain aspects of season 2 were insulting; insulting to cooks, insulting to competition BBQ, just plain insulting in general. It sounded to me like they were ready to have a seed and/or tobacco spittin' contest any minute, right before having to cook road-kill-surprise. To me, very little of what they were cooking had anything to do with something resembling BBQ at all. It made, IMHO, a mockery of the whole darned thing. While it may have brought on additional membership here, and I guess that's a good thing, I dont think it helped barbecue very much.
I think season 1 DID help competition barbecue, but not season 2.
Mind you, if you want to watch this, I think go for it. I love that some guys got well deserved notoriety. I hope it's helped them. For the others that go forward, I wish them well. But I dont think season 2 helped BBQ.
Oh Thom, how I love your cryptic messages :roll: :-D So does this mean it will be traveling around to competition and follow a few teams at those competitions OR just do their game show format in different locations?
If you slide on down to the ** BBQ Brethren Magazine ** Discussion Area (below Jokes, Special Interests, etc.), you'll see that I just posted a brief (less two page) interview w/ John Markus that will be appearing in issue 8 of Smoke Signals.

I really enjoyed reading the Markus interview. It seems to me they're heading back toward some type of traditional BBQ Competition and away from having Pitmasters cook Frog Legs and Alligator! I'm excited to see it.
I love me some frog legs & gator tail....
Anybody remember the All-Star BBQ Showdown? The first season we traveled to cook-offs but had our own competition among the people on the show. Maybe that will return?

if I owned a bbq restaurant in the Gold Coast area of Chicago I'd charge 35 bucks for ribs too..If you click on the link and watch the trailer that they put up it sure looks like season 2. If it is like season one, what do you think is the compensation? Season 2 is obviously the prize money but other than notoriety what did the season one guys get? Not that notoriety is bad. I went to Q, Lee Ann's place in Chicago, where they are charging 35 bucks for a rack of "competition" ribs.
