A lot of it felt forced, but overall it's not too bad. Definitely worth watching.

To be honest, I'm starting to see why James May said he won't do anymore after the amazon contract is up.

I'm trying to find the interview. But it was more of an, "I'm sick of this bull****, the show is becoming stupid,scripted and just a sham"...obviously those are my words, but that was his sentiment.

Wow I'm behind due to the holidays! Just saw the episode where they were racing the eco cars...which I'll say was a bit better. Hmm will try catching up to you all and hope it continues getting better...

Jourdan! Great find. I don't know if it was the radio times interview that your link was quoting. I'll have to search that out. But if I remember correctly, (which is questionable due to early onset alsheimerstupidity) I believe he was mentioning a little more about the show just sucking...being repetitive and self glorified. These are my words because I can't remember exactly what he said. I remember reading it and talking with the wife about it. We were talking about how his independent shows are more successful they Hamsters after Top gear... but still wondering if those two are still happy they walked out to follow Jeremey?
The interview responses, To my memory, seemed to have a bit of regret that he agreed to keep on going. (Lol, except the cash though I bet!)
I'll try to find it.

I recently have been re-watching the "Old" Top Gear episodes on Amazon...my favorites are still the cheap Porsches/Sport-Cars-That-Aren't-Porsches and the motor home episodes (Season 15)...now that was great chemistry when they were just beginning to experiment the road trips and challenges before they became became the dead horse. You can see the genuine reactions instead of the forced scripted expected one lines.
