So Harald Belker is a judge. One of the team that designed the Smart. Now designs sunglasses. Stylishly maintains a several day beard growth. :ack

I'm confused too. There seems to be only one Motor City competitor and only one with any serious design cred.

Nevertheless, I'll be watching. :pop

I think Camilo is way beyond his competitors .They are rookies.Camilo is design legend.
They have nothing to show for themselves.Camilo has already wowed the world.
Win lose or draw Camilo is a proven winner many times over.
The competitors only wish they could be a legend like Camilo.
Yup thats the facts!

You and me both. I said that earlier. There has to be a surprise here. Of course he is under NDA and can't say anything. I wonder how far we will be into it by the rally and if a little wine or scotch might give us a little insight :). Good timing, eh?

If you caught the 'Autoline' show, the conversation led that Camilo may not have won. None of us expect that to be the case.

.............and thus we have a Hollywood 'Reality Show'.

Can you really see Camilo working for Chevrolet?
Also how would it look if GM hired Fords ex Star designer?
Cool seeing him on the telly though!

My advice is that if you like Camilo, just support him and watch the show. He didn't come up with the premise, the competitors or the sponsors.

See everyone that's coming to the shindig on the 24th!

I hope Camilo wins so he can get a shot at the new Corvette. The rearend of the new Corvette could use some design tweaks.

My Dish recorder finally acknowledged the show. Set up to "record all new". The problem is that Tuesday is clogged with conflicts so I have to manually go in and move thing s around.

Wish I could have been there.

Camilo's experience was very evident.

I missed the first few minutes so I was confused as to why Sally Jessy Raphael was a judge, but then I realized.....:facepalm:
:lol

I'm confused. There was an awful lot of fabrication going on. Did they have helpers to remake the bodies? Surely a car painter and graphics designers don't know how to run sheet metal forming machines to make a hood that could look like that. If so they are quick learners indeed.

Twobjshelbys, I watched last night’s episode and the show clearly introduced both teams to a group of black clad “helpers” who were available muscle talent for both sides. You are right, there was an awful lot of sheet metal work with the silver car team in re-profiling the roofline. I am sure that design team leaned heavily on the grunt guy helpers to pull off that design in 3 days.

Go Camilo!! He’s a classic.

And we know him…..:biggrin

Yes, I caught the part about the helpers that were available for both teams.
