"Fast Cars & Superstars" Revs Up

We're not sure what we were expecting from ABC's "Fast Cars & Superstars — Gillette Young Guns Celebrity Race" — or, as we like to call it, "FCSGYGCR" for short. With "superstars" like wrestler John Cena, tennis pro Serena Williams and Priceline pitchman William Shatner participating, we were hoping for a "Surreal Life" on wheels. But after previewing the first two episodes, this reality show is, like, really about racing and stuff. There's way more footage of driving than high octane in-the-pit drama. If you're into that sort of thing, the first episode premieres June 7.

I watched Fast Cars on ABC last night - loved it. Serena freaking out was priceless. It's amazing that some of these people have actually agreed to do this. Driving 150 mph is serious business. This is a great show for people who don't like NASCAR because it's a bit of a hybrid. I just wish the show were longer. 30 mins goes by way too fast. Make 'em an hour!

The first episode was great. I can't wait to see Krista Allen, though. I have only one minor complaint. The cars were perhaps a little too fast and the stars are maybe just a bit too super. Other than that its like heaven on 4 goodyears screeching out of the pitstop of hell.
