I didn't even realize there was a new series til yesterday afternoon! Guess I should check this thread a bit more often; I'd just assumed there wouldn't be another one til the Fall for some reason.

Anyway, good to see them back!

I wonder if the F-150 segment is the one where they nearly got stuck in Trail for a while because the weather was so poo poo. It would explain why they were there during winter...

If so, "wasteland" is an extraordinarily accurate term (though the surrounding area is quite beautiful). Although compared to Argentina, our brand of lunatic out there probably only would have attacked them if they'd had cellphones or wifi, since those cause cancer!!!

Or they'd be lured into a bigamist cult.

Marathoning TGUK before the new series has been worth it, apparently they did a 1949 challenge that I completely missed.

Yeah that was one of the best challenges ever in the world.

Nice combination of :stare: and :lol: at Jeremy powering on up the mountain with one tire off the wheel, after he had gone to pains to point out the spare in the bed

It would be a real pain in the rear end to change a tire in snow that deep, from the looks of it. Also lol at Clarkson "I don't do manual labour" changing a tire.

Russell Brand is weird cuz he had a lot of sex with Katy Perry, didn't want any more sex with Katy Perry, and left her. As a hetero male, I simply cannot comprehend his decision-making process.

How dumb do you have to be as a network to not have them on staggered contracts? It looks like they can walk out of the BBC studios and down the road to Sky who has been after them for years. (Barring non-compete clauses. Are those a thing in the UK?)

Presumably the contracts were done up to have the three all on at the same time.

What also sucks about the cancellation of the last 3 episodes is a) it was a great series so far, and b) more episodes than the usual 6 + special we've gotten in the past years.

Judging by that charity auction rant, it seems like he's been getting tired of the show and has wanted to find a way to end it for a while explosively if necessary/possible.

The punch was his banme.

Right, but all three's contracts were due for renewal after this series anyway. It's not like he didn't have ample opportunity to say "Well, lads, after this one I'm done," and go out like a man, instead of the passve-aggressive narrative we've heard so far.

Having said that, none of us know the entire story here, and it's all very easy to speculate on what went down.
