A friend of mine has a cable service where commercials for this show are getting aired and he keeps telling me about it and encouraging me to go on or do some of those contests.  I'll admit it would be pretty cool to see something like this, I'm sure I wouldn't win against professional (?) contestants, but considering how big my goatee has become the idea of seeing what an actual hard-core professional (again, ?) beard grower would grow seems very interesting.

Any chance a sly guy or two will appear on the show?

I watched the episode where they went to the championships after reading this post.
I say why not, it's a show first and foremost and the guys enjoy themselves.

The politics, bitching about clubs and guys like that Jack-dude seem sh*tty but you'll have that in most competitions and if you can overlook that stuff the rest is good.
I enjoyed watching the episode and might check out a couple of the new ones too!  ;)

I watched the championship episode form the website too, I'm super excited for the series, I'll have to download to view it in Australia though... like all the good shows... but it'll be worth it!

I've contemplated checking out a beard contest too, If I find one my area I'll be there with bells on!

Uh... literally?  I've seen pictures where professional beard competitors do really weird things to their beards and I'm picturing you with beard dreadlocks covered with those little round metal bells.

For anyone curious about this show because I know I am, this is now on Netflix's streaming service. It only the first season (7 episodes) but more seasons will come in the future I'm sure.

I watched all of Series 2 (6 Episodes) on the IFC Network.  It's a quirky little (un) reality show, with some interesting characters.  Sadly, there are lots of beards in the competitions that are not shown because they are not members of the cast.  I did see quite a few bald & bearded guys in the crowds, but just in wide shots.  It's a fun little diversion, but not to be taken too seriously.

I don't think any of these "reality" shows are truly reality based anymore. I knew someone who was on a reality show, and although she was professional about it, she admitted the camera showed a slightly different picture.
