American Chopper Season 7 [** US - Spoilers **]

FreudianSlippers

Ok, so for some reason American Chopper is back - this season it's Senior vs Junior in a chopper-shop-off of sorts.
Pretty boring stuff so far tbh. Junior is trying to get his own shop off the ground with a bunch of faces from the first seasons of the show (Vinny and Odie - sp?).
Seems like they were really hoping to revamp the show by bringing in extra tension but they've somehow made the show even MORE boring.
They barely show any bikes being made now - instead focusing on the relatively few "arguments" and messing that happens at OCC and Junior's impending failure and Mikey's self-destruction over at Paul JR Designs.

Anyone else seen Season 7 thus far?

can't believe vinny's back but then you see his own tv show got canned... :?, don't know how he work with lazy paul,jr is still as deluded as ever.

amazing how they valued occ at zero they built that huge building then the economy collapsed, don't think occ can survive without both of them their

now paul building anotehr spider web bike

the accident with the workman is a shocker

caught up on episodes 5,6,7 see how they brought lee back in, i don't know why paul did, he was never that good, and it unfair to ask him to do something he wasn't able to do.

lads a question about american chopper is it all staged and scripted what goes on between Jnr and senior or is it actually real?

FreudianSlippers

I don't know, but if it is actually real then Discovery is kind of taking advantage of a pretty ****ty situation tbh.

I think it's def real. You can see that Senior gets genuinely upset about it all and he isn't that good an actor. I'm following it America Pace and it seems

that there looks like some small chance of a reconciliation

. It really was a good show when you had 50 mins of a bike build that was properly fabricated and unique. It seems now, it's all stock tins and garish paint jobs. They've created some amazing bikes in fairness. They were in Mahon Point in Cork for a while and looked amazing in the flesh.

I have watched it a bit over the years and the recent bikes seem to be 'colour by numbers' type builds. They have all the various parts pre fabricated apart from maybe the tank.

I watched the first episode of Senior vs Junior, tbh Junior seems like a douche. Gotta feel sorry for Mikey in the middle.

I haven't seen that show in ages. Is it still the grumpy Teutel dad and his two sons ?

Yeah, one half-wit and one no-wit... and they have that "goofy" guy who designs bikes too I think still.

I am watching it here now, Junior is actually an idiot. This new company is going nowhere, how is he funding it?

Is this still on? the first season was entertaining, Paulie snr is a dick, Paulie jnr talks with the excitement of a postage stamp and they build some bikes, how is it running this long?!

MTV, oops, I mean Discovery Channel, is paying for it! :pac:

Been catching up on all the senior v junior episodes. I really dotn think snr comes off too well in this. Is it made for peopel with no memories? Coming up to the last few episodes and Snr is saying stuff in direct contradiction to what was said in the early ones.
The whole valueing the company at zero is a load of balls. Jnr stuck it to him well when they were on the radio and he said "well if its worth nothign you sell me your 80% then"

Watching this again, strange situation with 'Lee'. Showed up to work for junior for a day and then left...
