Yeah. She's cute. I watch the show on and off, but I find myself watching it on Sunday evenings to see this cute little blondie ^_^

Same here. I'd watch it on occasion before she was on. But I actually Tivo it now, mainly to catch her. She's witty and funny too. I like cute girls who have a good sense of humor.
Don't a few dozen a year get killed on that road? It's got to take some real guts to do that for a living.

It'd be fun to try it maybe once. After that you probably get hooked for the payments and adrenaline rush it provides.
One guy on there, I forget his name, he said he was in Vietnam and came back here and nothing really excited him like so. That is why he is driving semis up there now! It's an adrenaline rush.
Lisa, well, c'mon. The show needed a pretty face to draw in more viewers! It's working haha

No offense guys,but she is one of the biggest gimmicks on television,and you are all proving it.
I think she is very good looking,but I refuse to watch the show because I know that the only reason that she's on there is for ratings and nothing more,and I'm nobody's fool.I don't know if the ratings were slipping,but as soon as I saw her,I knew that it was just a ratings ploy.
:thefinger Ice Road Truckers and your gimmick chick.

Fuck the rest, Freeones is the best!
LOL!!!! And before that the show was what? Educational television? You think there's some other reason shows are on television besides getting ratings? Like "Dancing With the Stars" is a public service or something?? What a weird post.

It'd be great to be "forced" to share a sleeping bag with her under some emergency situation during a big winter storm in the middle of the Alaskan nowhere....

So that's not really her driving the truck?
Is she a "gimmick"? Yeah, in a way. Is she there to get better ratings, especially from male viewers? Yeah. Let me ask you something, how many truly ugly women do you see reading the news on Bloomberg or even PBS? And the male truck drivers are chosen for personality and how much they can yuck it up too. It's not some kind of random drawing, where any deaf mute is going to get on the show. They'd kinda like to have people watching, ya know?
I've read a little about Lisa and she is the real deal - a cute tomboy with a good, bubbly personality. She's being featured on the show because she's a cute chick... who really does do what they show her doing.

Maybe I should had been high and mighty and condescending, my post would not have been overlooked and repeated in the very next post!
Hell yeah she's a rating pull in! Think anyone gives a shit about semis driving on ice? Well, it is pretty neat, but not worth sitting down for an hour to see if they make it week after week. Thing is, this is Alaska's version of NASCAR; people are waiting for a semi truck to fall through ice, off the side of a mountain, or crash into another semi! That is their teasing points before commercials!
Will they make it? Will they crash! So and so's truck broke down in the middle of an extreme below degree temperature setting, will they survive? Will Lisa be gangbanged by Alaskan savages in a tiny hut while polar bears watch on? Stay tuned and find out!

I agree. As much as I wail about reality TV, I really like these types of shows: Black Gold, The Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Truckers. I like them because they follow "real" working people, who have what would otherwise be considered mundane jobs... and they make it seem REALLY interesting.
The Deadliest Catch is probably my favorite because it meets its name: people have actually died and we've seen rescues on the water.
I know Lisa complained a little because she wasn't used to wearing makeup, but I don't think this show has made her seem over the top at all. I think it's well a balanced show. I very seldom watch the crap that's on network anymore. Between AMC, History Channel(s) and Discovery, with a little HGTV thrown in, other than financial news and some racing, that's more than enough TV for me.

I watch The Soup on E! for my reality show fix; mainly because that show makes fun of reality shows! Beyond that I don't watch any of them.
Ice Road Truckers I happened on a couple months ago and a couple weeks I started watching it somewhat regularly. This past week is when I thought to myself that they seem to really be focusing on Lisa a lot. I don't know, it just seemed like that to me.
I figure, she's hot, this is Freeones thus she is now an addition!

I don't know what's so weird about my post.I'm just pointing out that before she was on the show,did anyone actually really care about it?I heard people talking about it,but that talk died down quite a bit until she arrived.

Did I say that she didn't know how to drive a truck?Nope,I didn't.I'm not saying that she's a bad person or anything else.I'm just saying that the producers of the show knew what they were doing when they cast her to be on the show.Even to your own admission,you even said that you TiVo the show just to see her.
Ever heard of the term "Jump the shark"?Well this is pretty much the reality tv equivalent.
Rey C.
Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
"Jump the shark" is a term usually reserved for shows that were once popular and then start doing crazy things to recapture their popularity. Ice Road Truckers doesn't exactly fall in that category. It's more popular than ever, now that she's on. If she couldn't drive or if she had been flown in from Texas just to be on the show, that would be one thing. But cute girl + truck driving show = more male viewers = higher ratings = more ad money. I mean, they're not exactly making a documentary about ancient Rome here.

You're missing my point so I'll just drop it.

Apparently people did care about Ice Road Truckers before she came along. It is in its second season and climbing ratings because they found a legit woman to drive a semi! Good times.
Yeah. Sex sells, even in the arctic

“Nobody’s chased me down and
ripped off my clothes for souvenirs yet,
but I do get recognized and noticed.”
A quote about being recognized in her hometown now being on the show. The thought of her stripping down and those words being spoken slowly out of her mouth is very nice
