From reading the initial post on this thread, along with the article you posted, doesn't it kind of sound like it won't be all that different from the 1st season. To me it sounds like they are going to have the regular cast, but they will feature several teams each week so that they can have their own mini TLC competition within the actual competition that the cast is at that week. I think it's just adding another aspect, and could work out well in that there would always be someone winning the TLC competition, even if none of the castmembers get a call in the actual competetion. I could be completely off base, but that's my $.02.
Sounds more like the old "VS" channel show that was on a while back more than BBQ Pitmasters to me.
Once again, I hope I am wrong.
I don't see anything that leads me to believe it won't still involve sanctioned events. I liked the old VS series anyway, so a clone of that wouldn't upset me either!
According to what I read they are only filming April 30 - June 27. Not a whole lot of weeks to film actual competitions.
Will they be releasing season one with bonus features?
Ill bet there was quite a bit cut out that would be fun to watch.

I loved the first season. Even agreed with many of Myron's takes on things (especially on the Royal). I did think he was over the top on the swearing - seemed like he was forcing it a lot.
Looking forward to season 2.
