He was a little better...



I still miss the actual celebrity interviews, the reasonably priced car, and the news.

Yeah, but I gave up midway though the god knows whatever South Africa crossover bit...

It is still just feeling very forced. Akin to putting square ped into a round hole. It is not the old TG. It will never be the old TG. Nothing you can do will appease people that grew up with old TG. Etc etc etc...

And Chris Evans voice and speaking volume is still just...OMG...How did this guy ever become a huge radio star?!?

Funny enough, I didn't miss them until they went away In hindsight, it wasn't so much as the actual celebrities, news or products, but the style and comedy derived from them (i.e. somehow "Good News!" never got old nor did the racing bloopers )

I was waiting for some inter sting challenge or anything cool to happen on the s.africa trip...
It ended up just being a paid vacation for all of them.

And I learned nothing about which car I would want...

I think that's a good way to describe everyone's attitude and efforts towards this...one big effing vacation...

"Meh. Let's just try to kinda sorta may do what the old cast did, collect our millions and see how things shake out. It is not like this **** is going to last anyway. Soooo....meet at the pub at 14:30?!"

Ep 2 was better than 1. Haven't watched Extra Gear yet though.

Evans still sucks.

Ep 3 was better than 2. Extra Gear is consistently good.

Well imagine that...Now, if people only cared as much about politics, economy and elections as they do about their TV shows...that would really be something
