They'll probably just have a load of Amazon product placement... I can see it now, they're in the middle of the jungle, and they've forgotten the mosquito repellent! Clarkson pulls out his fire tablet and orders some and the Amazon van pulls up and hands it over... Amazon saves the day!

May's was good, but Clarkson's bored the shit out of me.

It was the usual "I'm going to be a Luddite" act but he's rather out of practice and therefore was rather unsubtle about it.

Go to Youtube to watch a fake trailer that's been stitched together from existing Top Gear footage, you mean?

No idea if it has, prob has I guess, didn't even bother checking to be perfectly honest. Just watched it and thought "Meh, that's the top gear I miss."

It was good...you can't deny it, Im starting to feel it was time the three guys moved on to better things, they have left a legacy and Clarkson a perfect format for a car show.

Its still pretty shit. Some depressingly bad presenting. Somehow making an incredible Ferrari seem bland.

Done with it.

Its alright, the two new reporters in this one sounded like they were doing a BBC history documentary and threw in a few clarkson/hammondisms, and the London thing was like a Dad trying to show his kids that he's cool.

I dunno, the quicker that they get their selves away from the past the better, I think the German woman is possibly the best addition.

Less Evans is the best thing they could do. I hoped I would like Schmidt more. Chris Harris was decent, Rory Reid was a bit annoying but decent also. I don't know if "less Evans" is in response to public opinion of the first episode (I believe this is the first one that they've filmed since the series started airing) or if that's just how it was supposed to be with more guest presenters but it was a definite improvement.

A lot of hating it on principle, I think once The Tour starts people will let Topgear be what it is and not compare it to the original.
They can get their fix of the three stooges, my worry is that its there for Clarkson to fuck up.

Sundays episode was better, but it's still shockingly average.

Ep 3 was allright, massively preferred other chris and the black dude to chris evans.
The guest section is terrible, just dreadful.

I've taken more interesting shits.

I've skipped through the guest bit every week so far. I thought I'd give Joshua a chance this week because he seems like a nice guy but every time I skipped to a point it was just Kevin Hart screeching. :(

The bit with Evans with a bag over his head saying he "wasn't there". I thought it was just his "embarrassment" at the puking incident but maybe there was more to it in relation to how unpopular he has proved to be so far.

If that's a leaked truth and not just journo pub talk, then the relationship is over allready.
