  1. I know the show has been going on for some time now, but i just thought of creating a topic for this.

    For those who dont know what bullrun is, heres a short summary:

    Bullrun is an American reality television series where 12 teams compete in a 4,000-mile road rally. It premiered on Spike TV on March 13, 2007. The series is hosted by former professional wrestler Bill Goldberg.

    Teams

    The races on Bullrun are competed by 12 teams composed of 2 people. The teams on Bullrun are:

    * Team 1: 1968 Dodge Charger
    x Team 2: 2001 BMW E46 M3
    * Team 3: 1957 Chevrolet 210
    * Team 4: 2004 Ford F-150 Lariat
    x Team 5: 2007 Scion tC
    x Team 6: 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback 2+2
    * Team 7: 1996 Honda Civic LX 4-Door Sedan
    * Team 8: 2007 Lotus Exige S
    * Team 9: 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6
    x Team 10: 2003 Lamborghini Murcielago
    * Team 11: 1975 Hurst Oldsmobile W-30
    x Team 12: 1997 Nissan 240SX

    Team Scion was the first team eliminated after not being able to find the ending point, with the team storming off angrily. Goldberg referred to the team as sore losers and admonished the other teams not to be like them.

    Team Nissan was eliminated in the second episode despite being one of the quicker teams in the premier episode, after breaking down in the first leg of the episode's race. They were towed to both leg finish lines, which in turn led them to having the highest time and be eliminated.

    Team Mustang was eliminated in the third episode, after losing a cylinder because of a broken pushrod in the second leg. They tried to push it out on seven cylinders but decided against doing damage to their car and eventually ended up on the wrecker.

    Team Lamborghini was eliminated in the fourth episode after they decided that they would rather not ruin the car, already with an estimated $60,000 worth of damage to the car, therefore finishing the final leg on a flatbed. They also decided not to participate in a challenge after finishing 5th in the first leg of the episode. They dropped from 5th to 8th out of 9 when their time was swapped with team Lotus.

    Team Honda was officially eliminated by time in the fifth episode after attempting to pick up a time bonus but failing. However, Team BMW forfeited their place in Bull Run to Team Honda after a family emergency cause one of their members to leave the rally.
