Liz Miles+Boyd+Wife=....FIRED!!

I have to agree with 73z-6sp. I watch the show & thought Liz (Sugar pants as Duane calls her, LOL), did great, she didn't give anyone any attitude, did what she was told, & was learning quick. All the guys in the shop thought she was doing a great job. Personally I think Jo is a b!tch, & Jo thought Liz was moving in on her territory. Jo wants to be the only cow in the pasture with the bulls, she doesn't want any competition.


I think it is crap.

This is a real dicey situation. On one hand you wanna be sympathetic towards her because you saw the exchange between Jo and Duane and then what Boyd did to her (which I think sucked). But on the other hand you don't know the real story or what went on behind closed doors because neither Boyd, Jo, nor Duane talked about it. It's plausible that she may have rubbed Jo Codington the wrong way or gave her an attitude. Liz seems like she's pretty cool but she has done some suspect things as of late. I know she lobbied Lateral-G and some of their sponsors for sponsorship and even went out and hired an agent for herself (or so I was told). It seems like she's on this big push to get noticed and to garner publicity for herself. This is fine if what you’re after is a job in television, but as far as earning respect amongst your peers in this hobby...that’s not going to go a long way. It's possible that Jo, Boyd, and Duane picked up on this and that's why they were eager to get rid of her. But again...we don't really know the whole story.

I voiced my opinion about Liz on Lat-G and basically I wish her the best and hope that she allows the accolades to fall her way rather than seek them out. This hobby could benefit from more gender and ethnic diversity. Given the right circumstances, I think she has a great opportunity to be an ambassador to other women who aspire to be part of this hobby. I hope she takes advantage of it.

As far as what happened last night...I think Jo Coddington had a problem with a young pretty girl stealing her thunder from the TV cameras. But knowing that show, Liz might be back on in the next couple of episodes. They brought that Tony kid back after letting him go.

Sometimes hearing things 2nd and 3rd hand are not always true. She was working before Boyd, and was working after! She is one hell of a worker trying to get into a supposedly male's world. Well I have got to say some of the best welders and Jet Mechanics I met were women. Also damn better looking also!
