Trivia: Most of Catalina's speeches in Spanish (the ones that are not translated) are actually actress Nadine Velasquez speaking to the camera, addressing the viewers. For example, in episode 1-11 (Barn Burner), although it appears that she is throwing insults at Joy, she is actually saying "I want to take this moment to thank our Latino audience for watching. And for those of you who can understand me but who are not Latino, I want to commend you for learning a second language".
Trivia: Willie the one-eyed mailman is played by Bill Suplee, real father of Ethan Suplee.
Trivia: Every time a picture is taken of Earl and the picture is shown, he has his eyes closed. Even the pictures of him as a kid have his eyes closed.
Answer: The premise of the show is he atones for mistakes he did in the past. Winning a car for Joy probably atones for something he did wrong regarding her in the past.
