After a season off the reality show "Ice Road Truckers," Wasilla, Alaska, resident Lisa Kelly is back in the driver's seat Sunday nights on History
"I took a break," she tells Zap2it. "I'm ready to dive back in, have some fun. It's a crazy kind of life, so it was nice to have a break from it. I missed hanging out with everybody and having the fun that goes along with it."
In June 2012, when asked about Kelly's absence, executive producer Thom Beers told Zap2it, "We offered her a contract to return, and she chose not to. That's it. we invited her back. Love to have her. She's taking a year off, realizing that she might not be able to get another show. But she's an interesting woman. we liked her."
According to Kelly, the fans were eager to have her back, and, she says, "I would say...

Lisa Kelly is not a woman who likes to stay put. Calling me from the road in Alaska, the "Ice Road Truckers" and "Irt: Deadliest Roads" star apologized for the crappy connection. "I just don't like to stay put," she admitted. "Always like to stay moving; that's me." Fans of the show (which returns for season seven Sun. June 9 at 10:00 p.m. Et on the History Channel) might have noticed that Kelly wasn't on deck last season (though she was on board for two seasons of "Deadliest Roads"). As for why she took time off, she insists if wasn't any...

Irt: Deadliest Roads - Blu-ray Review
I am a reality television fiend when it comes to Ice Road Truckers.
Yes, there is no ice this time around but that doesn’t make this series any less thrilling. Missing a few episodes when it aired and then just waiting for the chance to see all the episodes all at once when it hit Blu-ray this was really well worth the wait. For those of us who enjoy series like this Irt: Deadliest Roads does not disappoint.
Instead of cold driving truck drivers going across snowy strips of ice we’ve got a trio of drivers making their way on some of the most sinister roads in India. Brimming with genuine humor and the...

While it’s true that most of us Rejects write about films because we’re not quite bright enough to deal with the real world, so we live in fantasy land. Every now and then though, one of us, in a moment of confusion, ends up watching The History Channel and accidentally being exposed to something that could potentially teach us. This scares us and to get rid of the memories, we gather up anything that reminds us of that unpleasant experience and give it away. What I’m really trying to say is that The History Channel, our buds, gave us a pretty sweet prize package to celebrate Ice Road Truckers: Deadliest Roads hitting the air and we figured you guys like free stuff, so we’re giving it to you. Part of this deal is that we do the monkey dance and make you read the official copy, which...

Ice Road Truckers has always been one of those shows that just missed me. Reality shows frequently have trouble getting the final experience to match up with their on paper sell, but Irt worked that problem in the opposite direction of most. When I first heard about the show, I couldn’t imagine the interest. Well, apart from a certain Nascar “maybe a truck will go in the drink” sort of interest. Amazingly, the show has delivered, and the ratings show that I’m not alone in thinking so.
Still, as I mentioned, the show didn’t completely hook me. The crew is taking things up a notch now with Ice Road Trucker Deadliest Roads, and it’s hard to deny that this one makes it difficult to look away. We’ve moved to a job hauling loads in the Himalayas, on roads where on average someone dies every 4.5 minutes.
