He said they are looking to augment the cast from last season, so that sort of implies that the case will be back. I sure hope so anyway. It wouldn't be the same without Myron.

I think we all most likely have a short list of Brethren members who could do very well on the show next year; I hope they consider throwing in their respective aprons.

Since they already had his flag in the intro, I think King Todd should be a shoe in. I think Clint would be good on the show too. And if they want to really make it interesting, throw in Pitmaster Donnie T. I can already see them filming the bagphone conversations with Popdaddy.

I caught this article and it looks like the show this time around will be more like the "BBQ Challenge Series" vs. following teams around the KCBS circuit like season one. I am checking with my sources to confirm this but here is the article...just in case that will deter anyone from applying since it sounds like it won't be like last time.

Doesn't sound much different to me. Last season they basically competed against each other at each contest for the highest finish and then at the end they did the rib burn at Johnny Triggs that was just among themselves.

Either way it's got to better than the crapola we have to watch now:clap2:

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.

Sure liked the show, laughing at the 'Johnny Cash' of comp bbq sure was fun, that guy couldn't cook his way out of a paper sack.

Myron didn't bother me, but my tolerance is admittidly higher than mosts'.

Sure wish i had the cash to compete full time, I think the GrillBillies would do great on camera, and not too shaby at the judges' tabels. Being young and having young kids, we are lucky to scrape up the change to do one or two comps a year tops. Oh and TLC, if you're reading this... I can say Farkin' every other word, could be your new big thing.

To me, nothing was better than to listen to Myron spout off on everything from cooking rigs, lighter fluid, recipe stealing, judging, etc. and then watch his face as the locals took home the hardware! And he was great on Craig Ferguson! The man has personality. Spend a few hours watching the Food Network and maybe Myron's ok?!

03-19-2010, 10:44 AM
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.

chambersuac

I think the teams that enter their audition videos should use the terms, "MOINK Balls" and "Atomic Buffalo Turds" as often as possible. Oh, and say that while you wait for your brisket to cook, you like to smoke a few fatties!

Sure, it's TV. In person Myron doesn't swear nearly as much, and is much more personable that the show depicts him.

I second the motion to get PopDaddy on. If they won't put him on the show, maybe he could help them edit it. "BBQ Funkmasters" :becky:

I think "augment our cast from last year" is key wording and considering the banners on TLC have Myron and LeeAnn all beefed up I am thinking they are definitely back.

John also states, and I might have the wording a little off, they are looking for videos saying why you are worthy to compete against the best. Wouldn't the best be the current ranking champions of the most highly regarded contests that everyone here kicks around?(Even past winners)

The Jack(certainly no impartiality on my part for Chris :) )
MIM

What about Pellet Envy with TOY and considering the last victory in Little Rock would certainly be considered among "the best".

My son and I decided to shoot a video saturday. We sat down, made a script, practiced it a a few times and then set up outside and started to tape. Those of you that know me personally know that I am rarely at a loss for words, when it comes to speaking on the fly I have no problem. I can tell you an actor I will never be! We had to do at least two dozen takes. In between flubbed lines & laughing we barely finished it. I am thinking of just submitting those outtakes instead of the scripted version.

I just joined the forum, like a minute ago, and already see folks that I have followed on Tv or through competitions I have been to. I didn't realize or even consider that I would have the opportunity to read the comments of such a line up. Sorry if I sound like an idiot. Forgive my immature drooling.

I am glad the angry man is gone. He really brought what i think bbq is, people having a grand old time and sharing the knowledge the have gathered in order for the next generation to stay interested. We here at 6SBBQ are shooting for season 4 if there is to be one. But i think there always be people looking this type of TV. I mean look at American Chopper, they didn't really build their stuff, they just put parts together.

Have a great easter all.

Seeing that they are going to have different BBQ masters this season Myron will be gone. My comments stem from the way he talks about the competitors, Paul may not be the best BBQer on the block, but he is new and really trying to bring some fun to the sport of competitive BBQ. I am one that likes to experiment until i find what i like i would hate to hear what old man Mixon has to say about that.

Diva Q
04-05-2010, 08:55 AM
I think you are wrong about Myron being gone. I don't think he is going anywhere. Not with the draw he has from the audience. That would be foolish to have him gone. He gets people watching. He gets people talking about the program. Everyone likes to watch the dark horse. This one just happens to be from Georgia.

I hope Jamie Geer gets more air time and that Myron gets atleast some commentary airtime. Like him or not, the rest of the public does like his off the cuff commentary and the heck with all opinions that he throws about at will. There has to be characters to keep things interesting, for some it comes more natural than others, myron would be one of those.

I personally think Wood Chick should not be in season 2. There are several other female quers that cant perform better and not whine so much. I nominate Cowgirl and the Brethren should do a full court press on TLC for her.


I agree, i would like to see Leann gone along with her Drama and bring in a female who is dedicated to queing.

This is strictly speculation but since this is going to be a tournament I don't think Myron is going to compete. Since he was THE personality last year, I would guess that they want him around for every episode. That leads me to believe that he is going to be a judge.

Myron Mixon, the Simon Cowell of BBQ.

I'm assuming they pushed back filming from the original intended date, just because none of you posted as to hearing from TLC...and I'm fully expecting someone from the brethren to make the cut, and I'm sure you would post here to let us know.

I'm with Big Mista...it almost sounds like the format could be an "iron chef" type matchup with four teams each week battling in barbecue, not necessarily filming at a kcbs sanctioned event.....I do recall something being mentioned about four different teams a week...

With a six episode season that could mean 24 teams picked unless one team wins and goes onto the next episode...maybe ending in a "jeopardy tournament of champions" type contest. lol......

Bigmista
04-28-2010, 01:24 AM

New format features FOUR different pitmasters competing in EACH episode. We are looking to augment our cast from last season and welcome all interested cooks to throw their aprons in the ring!!!

Agreed there is no way they can shoot 20 episodes. Survivor doesn't even have that many and that is primetime on a national network.

Myron as a judge with this being some sort of 4 team show down each week...that blows my mind. That would be AWESOME. Honestly, seeing the teams in a regular competition is fun, but because that means sometimes none of them win, or potentially none of them could even place, because the local competition might, you lose the ability to have some bragging rights and in your face going on.

I love the idea of some sort of 'Big Dance' ala NCAA thing.

Myron as a judge....ha! If he is who wants to put a bet down on how many episodes till he throws someones Q back at them!

Talked to the man. First episode will be shown around Aug 11th. Eight episodes tops all filmed within 3, perhaps 4 weeks with one at an actual comp.
