I puckered so hard when they bumped into the brick of the house at the end.

That and Richard Hammond Rescue in Canada with the Velociraptor and GMC 2500HD are easily two of my favorites. And Hammond strapped to the top of acrobatic airplane.

seconding this - series 22 episode 5 - It also features Hammond with the new Cayman and Corvette as well as May with the Ferrari La Ferrari

Looking back on it, the whole of Series 22 was really good.

The ambulance challenge was hysterical. The Australian outback road trip was probably one of my favorite road trips they've done.

That is the only episode I have tried to watch so far, I say tried as I couldn't take it after a while and just went to go do the dishwasher and play with the dog. Everything that has been said about how it feels awkward and put on with some of the presenters not suited to television is completely correct. Also the race wasn't much of a race as they had to come up with bullshit challenges on the way to make it anywhere close to a fair race rather than old new top gear races being researched so they would be close without any other distractions.

I suppose the struggling Top Gear team being forced to be more creative with their challenges is one of the few Brexit upsides, along with Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland forming their own union called Nice Britain.

(e: not that Brexit actually means BBC teams are no longer allowed to film in Europe)

I've finally figured out why this sucks. Its just a car review show.

The old reviews, particularly Clarkson's, were just a framework towards an editorial investigation towards the brand or model. They'd pick out a model then ask "Is the Golf GTI just fat and bloated now?", "Are BMWs still for cocks?", "Are AMG models too insane?" or "Are Lambos boring now that Audi owned them?" and then Clarkson would drive it around so there was something on screen while he talked about it.

Now its just reviewing the car. I was struck watching Chris Harris review of the M2 where he almost sets up "Are M cars now watered down?" but then nope he just drives around an M2 and briefly an Audi while saying brilliant a lot of times and then says its an M3 at the end.

The three guys were probably bored of doing just normal car reviews after doing it for so long. They kept it interesting for themselves by coming up with weird scenarios.

Clarkson is a master of "the wobble."

Basically, Clarkson inject stakes/drama into the review by damning a car for its best aspects and praising its flaws. Despite the formula it's often funnier/more interesting, particularly if they make a good point while doing so.

Harris, Reid and Evans just go "woooow wheeee zooooom!"

I haven't even watched past the second episode. I want to give it a chance, I just can't stand Evans or the rallycross interview horseshit that took up 20 minutes of episode 2.

Trigger Warning: It's The Sun

quote:


TOP GEAR host Matt Le Blanc has vowed to quit the BBC show unless Chris Evans is given the boot, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.

Sources on the crisis-hit programme say Matt has grown increasingly frustrated with his co-stars rudeness and frosty attitude towards the team.

And they told how he delivered a crushing ultimatum by announcing he will have no part in any future series that features Chris.

His declaration has left BBC bosses who have already agreed to pay Matt for two series with no choice but to pick one host over the other.

And it is believed a second Top Gear series, due to begin filming in September, may be shelved while they make their final decision.

A show source said: The big question now is who goes and who stays.

The team does not gel at all, and the atmosphere between the presenters is decidedly frosty. Its very much a picture of him Chris and them.

Matt has already indicated that he wont continue on any further series if Chris remains a part of it. And he is far from the only one who isnt happy.

Chris is not encouraging when any of the others are doing their links.

On one occasion this month he even pretended to bump his head against a wall in frustration when Eddie Jordan kept fluffing his lines.


He also seems to be jealous of the attention and praise which has been heaped on Chris Harris and Rory Reid in particular since the show began.

You would have thought that with his experience, he would help out those new to studio recording. But he doesnt encourage them in any way.

He just isnt interested. He doesnt even hang out with the others back stage and firmly keeps his distance from all of them at the aerodrome.

Radio 2 DJ Chris, 50, has faced bitter criticism since his debut on the show last month, when fans blasted him for shouting and patronising viewers.

Many called for the presenter to be replaced.

Meanwhile Friends star Matt, 48, was praised as the best thing about the show.

And fans lauded last weeks episode the third of the BBC2 series as the best yet after he appeared to be given more airtime than co-star Chris.

A BBC spokesman and spokesman for Chris last night declined to comment.

A spokeswoman for Matt said: Nothing has been discussed or decided.

She added the star is going to LA to film a new series of another show.

Rutledge Wood is saying that TGUS is done. That's total bullshit, they were just hitting their stride. Doesn't sound like BBC is ending it but History Channel is. Maybe BBC can take it somewhere else and keep it going. Aside from the snow episode, this was a really good season.

Yeah this seems like a bizarre decision, surely they could have cut one of the scenes of Evans standing around showing off his classic Rolls instead.

I still never liked it nearly as much as the original but I agree, this season has been pretty solid. Hopefully another network picks it up, I never thought History was the right channel for the program.
