Chris Evans is generally pretty terrible but his interviews with the guest stars have been extra bad. He obviously has limited driving skills and doesn't like to go fast.

Matt LeBlanc has actually been pretty good, he seems to be a reasonable driver as well. A show that he heads with Sabine and that old Irish (I think?) guy from ep 2 could really work.

Unfortunately I think the BBC has put all their eggs in the Evans basket and won't pull the plug on him.

>A show that he heads with Sabine and that old Irish (I think?) guy from ep 2 could really work.

I feel really stupid. When I heard that Chris Evans was going to be in Top Gear I didn't understand what the guy who plays Cap has to do with driving. In my defense Matt LeBlanc is hosting too so I guess it made sense to me.
>>
>>70500289
Or that german girl that was born in the Nuremberg ring.
>>
>>70500366
Isn't that Sabine?
>>
>>70500214

The public doesn't seem to give much of a shit. Those that like him do so in part because he's like that.

However he was pretty clearly on the outs with the BBC management who had him on final notice over other things. I think if given a choice between keeping one of their best-performing and most marketable shows going as is or losing it they would have kept it but they had to act. They'd painted themselves into a corner with Clarkson, and equally Clarkson knew he was on a fine line.

Sucks for the viewers though.

He pays a fine. Makes a public apology. Maybe does some community service. Shouldn't that have been enough?

LeBlancs "films" were pretty good. That Arial offroader was enjoyable. There were even moments during that awful reliant film that were tolerable.

Evans was terrible. I hated everything he was in. He came across like a LeBlanc fanboy. Hugs and cuddles. Rubbish.

LeBlanc is solid, but they need a new head presenter. And more Sabine.

They were fucked to start with. They need a group of presenters that had chemistry with each other and that's difficult to find. They basically struck lightning with the Clarkson/Hammond/May trio, and that wasn't even how that relaunch started, remember Dawe? Should have scaled back for the relaunch season, see what worked with the audience and what didn't, and replace as necessary.
>>
>>70502159
Getting rid of Chris and letting Matt take the reigns with any of the other Extra Gear people would make the show magnitudes better.

My feeling is that they should start treating Chris Evans sort of like they treated James May. Make him the butt of most jokes, left out while the 'cool' presenters all hang out, amplify the awkwardness, make fun of him. The guy who tries to fit in and be 'hip' but hates going fast and can't do daring.
He probably has too much of an ego to fill that role, but it would make the show much more watchable than trying to play Evans' bullshit straight.
>>
how is matt leblanc in the new show? he seems like a cool guy
>>
>>70503000
But May is charming, intelligent, and actually knows shit about cars. Remember May was in the Bugatti pushing it to it's limit, so he's not afraid of going fast, he's just not a fast driver and prefers comfort to racing.

Putting Evans at May level is insulting to May because May is a fucking likable guy. Man Labs, and Toy Stories are great shows.
>>
>>70503108
Yeah, that's why I said "sort of". May was actually my favorite presenter of the three, but you can't deny how he was framed.

Thing is that you always knew Clarkson, Hammond and May were friends when they were brutally taking the piss out of each other. I can't stand Evans, but watching him get abused by almost strangers doesn't sound like good television.

No.

Matt Leblanc will fit in the role better as time goes on. FACT. He's just such a more likeable person compared to Chris, it's quite amazing.

Though I sort of don't like having non-brits as hosts of the show, we have American Top Gear for that.

Evans is a fucking car collector. He doesn't give a shit about cars as machines for driving fast in, he just likes them as expensive pretty things he can keep behind glass and use to show off how rich he is. I just can't understand why the BBC got him in when he was such a fucking arsehole in his time at Radio 1. Literally anyone would have been a better choice.

Bong here. Few people I know actually like him. He's an obnoxious twat who just happens to have his radio show on at the time everyone is driving to work/school ect.

they thought it was a good idea for the very reason you made this post. People are talking about it. While that tactic works in the short term for ratings it doesnt work for very long. Its a tactic to get people to tune in. You will hate tune in just like oyu hate watched Dexter S5-8
>>

I like Matt's narrations. But he feels too stiff when on video. however that might get better as he gets more used to the show.

They need to kill Chris ASAP though if they want the show to survive past S24.

The banter on old new Top Gear worked because both Clarkson and May could go toe-to-toe and trade jabs back and forth. On this new new Top Gear who is Evans supposed to have bantz with? Everyone else on the cast seems nice enough, but none of them have an obvious talent for witty repartee.

>>70518694
I'm sure without a doubt that Clarkson is a pure asshole and I would never ever want to meet with him irl. But the asshole is funny as shit so it doesn't matter.

I'm also sure that Evans is an asshole. Not sure if he's worse than Clarkson or not.. But he's certainly not funnier. Or funny. At all.
And that does matter.

I've got a feeling that the cast don't know each other even remotely as close as the old 3 did.
Also it seems as if the BBC wants to start a new chapter with this TG; including getting the 'murrican market. So they are probably trying to Americanize it while simultaneously trying to distance it from the old new Top Gear.

Like when they put the viper on the board in the first ep and there weren't a single joke about it being built by rednecks or that the Stig had to fuck his sister before being allowed in the car.

>>70518835
Clarkson is just an old fashioned bloke, with some passion, some wit and a shitload of money.

From all reports he's a nice guy, but he doesn't kiss up to people and is a little short tempered.

IIRC the whole producer punching happened after they stayed back several hours to do reshoots in the middle of buttfuck nowhere late at night on the condition they got a hot steak dinner when they got back. Producer said yes then didn't deliver. Clarkson lost his temper and the producer didn't handle the situation the way he should have.

Not excusing Clarkson for what he did, the above isn't an excuse. But he's an old man who just wanted some beers and hot food with his mates and the BBC cronie with unlimited money and resources at his beck and call didn't do what he's paid to do so Clarkson lost his shit.

Shouldn't have hit him, but it's not like he just woke up angry one morning then punched a stranger in the back of the head.

The biggest issues with the current hosts is the lack of mechanical knowledge, so cheep car challenges are gone forever. Unless you want more episodes with Matt and/or Chris spending all the time on the back of a truck making hilarious comments.

Ramsey would be no better in that regard. It's easy to like cars, it's hard to know cars.

They always struck me as having a very antagonistic producer. Sometimes, like with the Robin challenge, it made for hilarious tv, but when your stars are exhausted and stranded in the middle of nowhere because of you, you don't abuse that power, you just don't.

What Jeremy did was stupid, but I agree, I might have done the same.
