    If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

    This reality show belongs on the Bravo Channel right after Storage Wars.The cast did a terrific job in dealing with the cards they were dealt by the producers -- but the execution tainted the message using Hollywood shananigans.The good ole boys looked so out of place in many of the bizarre challenges that the contestants were involved in.This show is 80% TV drama and 20% reality.That's very similar to Kobe beef in the US which is almost always never more than 80% Kobe beef -- but really who is gonna fact check that?

    "West Hollywood Inverstors Club" seems to be a more realistic title this production.This show had so much potential with a contrived formula of playing off the huge success of Duck Dynasty and Shark Tank.What is with all the cheesy sound effects with a whip cracking and a fake bear roaring? Roar!Driving an old beat up Ford pick up in West Texas that has no AC? Hmmm.... The investors write all their notes on the back of paper plates.Really? Feels like watching a game show with the challenges similar to Survivor.Is this really what America thinks of West Texas or perhaps that old Ford truck was driven all the way from West Hollywood? I had to turn off the episode with the despicable transsexual drag queen bar which Uncle Si would never have stepped foot into.This is Executive Producer Jason Henry's tasteless attempt at being edgy for the sake of a ratings survival game.This episode was offensive and not a healthy family show like "Shark Tank"

    I watched the entire first season and was indeed entertained. The guys are witty and genuine. Growing up in Arkansas and then Texas, I initially felt a special connection to this show. However, as a commercial airline pilot with 33 years experience, I know that the chartered jet shown to be transporting the 16 contestants is a Lear Jet 31 A, an older aircraft that has slightly lower hourly operating costs. The approximate costs of one round trip flight at $3,000/hour multiplied by an average of 8 hours flying/taxing is $24K. So for 16 contestants it would cost ballpark $384K in total airfare costs which is not reality and thus fake or staged. With a budget of $400K, 96% of the show's budget was on airfare? Furthermore, clearly there is no flight crew or captain during the deboarding on a private charter – which can be lethal if the passenger(s) do not know where not to walk. Given those facts, the entire first scene must be totally staged or fake. I was curious enough to search Google for the two investors and came across an enlightening news article that validated my suspicions about the show's lack of realism. A public statement by show's co-star Butch Gilliam in an interview on 10/18/2015: "The contestants go through a casting crew. While the West Texas investors do invest, there is a little more vetting and outside help than the show suggests. And the "club" house is really a building in Stanton where Gilliam says he has never step foot inside. In short, it's TV." Well what can you expect from the executive producer, Jason Henry, who is notable for his work on the Kardashians reality show? Regardless, the show is a "success" -- but I will go back to watching Shark Tank.

    The first couple of episodes have been fun to watch. They had some rough moments of making something out of nothing, increasing drama. Has anyone seen the original shark tank seasons? This is a lighter version of that. It has some quirks, just as the early shark tanks had, that are sure to be ironed out. Already watched every entrepreneurial show out there, this show fills my Profit and Shark Tank void. These characters should do a destination episode. Like come to Iowa City, get a kick out of the Midwest entreprenuers.Please keep them coming. My only question, how much did they have to get paid to only drink Miller Lite?
