Huh, I always thought they recorded the studio parts right before the season starts for some reason.  figured maybe they needed time to edit the studio parts or something.

poo poo, this has been the best season in years so far, I wouldn't mind if they wrapped it up at the high note at the end but mid-season would suck. If he is kicked out, hopefully he'll go to America where he'll fit right in with all the other racists

They must be aware that TGUK absolutely wouldn't work without Clarkson, so if the sacking stands they're practically deciding to end the show here.

They have a new show "Banished" too, about a bunch of crooks and whores starting Australia. The hound is on it! Wherever clarkson lands, he'll be fine. The top gear formula is starting to wear thin as it is. James May will carry on doing James May things and making James May shows. Hammond will go back to cheesy pseudo-science shows nobody gives a gently caress about. 2 or 3 more focused shows could rise up to fill the gap left behind. the world keeps turning.

If Clarkson goes, finding someone to slot neatly with Hammond or May would be difficult. Maybe Chris Harris?!? Although he seems pretty happy doing his Youtube stuff. I wish TG US goes through a re-cast. I'd steal Carlos Lago, Johnny Lieberman, and one of the Road Kill guys (or both).

Since the 918 destroyed the P1 by a second at Laguna, I'd imagine it would be even faster around a tighter track like the Top Gear track. holocaust bloopers posted:If Clarkson goes, finding someone to slot neatly with Hammond or May would be difficult.

Come on. Youtube is one thing, hosting one of the biggest shows on earth is another. Harris would do it in a heartbeat. Also any American show without Carollla is worthless. The guy is basically an American Clarkson and has an awesome car collection to match.

Although them operating with a tiny budget is what makes the show. edit: Motor Trend has assembled an excellent group of editors. The vast majority of their Youtube talent is outstanding. Don't care much for the older guy who does road trips. Haven't seen enough of the blonde girl to make a judgment call. bloops fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Mar 10, 2015 |

Haven't seven episodes aired already? Does anyone know how many more were planned? I know last series had 10 episodes but the ones before that were usually 6-7, so I feel like we've already gotten a full series. Edit: I was way wrong, the past series have all been 5-7 pretty much, but this one looks like it had 10 planned for some reason.

holocaust bloopers posted:Carolla is old. And Clarkson isn't? I would have thought Carolla would have made the perfect Top Gear USA anchor, but then he went and made that godawful spec pilot or whatever the gently caress it was with the basketball players and the product endorsements and poo poo. It was spectacularly unfunny and tedious, enough so that TGUSA as we know it seemed watchable by comparison. I've always thought the key is getting people who are good TV personalities regardless of whether they know much about the subject matter. Alton Brown for example.
