Guy Martin alongside LeBlanc would have been pretty great. Chris Evans is WAAAY TOO LOUD AND ENERGETIC and nobody really respects him. Guy Martin earns instant adulation for being a good bloke and Isle of Man TT legend

I wish Evans had not been so shouty and chatty.

He is never going to be Clarkson so it's best he just try to be his own man.

Or let Joey be the frontman.

>>
>>70236055
Evans is a prima donna, only he can be the front man. He lives in a dream world where he genuinely thinks he's popular, charismatic, and cool. But be negative and he takes it like a toddler being told its bed time.

He stopped himself before actually saying nigger. Beyond that, he's from a time where that was an actual nursery rhyme for kids. Also, incase you were unaware, it's still okay to be racist towards asians.
>>
>>70236164
Yeah I guess that's natural. I remember him being much the same on the radio but to me TG was always automobile journalists who happened to be automotive enthusiasts as well.

not as bad mate be fair. Plus why on the first show back do you put on a celebrity who has zero interest in cars and clearly had one attempt at the course before doing the interview and fucking off.

>>

They were trying to appeal to the American audience with him but they did that before with Will Smith, Tom Cruise, etc

They still had Gordon Ramsey who is very much a car nut and did a really good lap

I realise I didn't criticise your point very well. What I'm saying is that you're literally just trying to be part of some edgy online club which is evidenced by the fact you said "we".

Good fucking god i hate hatehateee Chris evans so much. He is the definition of cringe.

fucking look at his body! He is built like a thirteen year old where an old mans face has been stuck on!

And it is obvious that no one in the cast likes him! Leblanc nearly rolled his eyes when he was "dismissed" before the star in a reasonably priced car segment.

FIRE HIM and make Schmitz, Harris and Leblanc the main characters of this show - evans is shit.

I will keep watching it and I will watch The Grand Tour too

Yup this, he literally has Asbergers
>>
I felt like LeBlanc could be great but that he was restricted and forced. Let him say what he wants and he'll make his own banter, not forced jokes about being american
>>
The celeb section was awful.
There was no interview, no chat no conversation no banter and no chemistry, just 2 people sat down, immediately go to the cars, lap, times, done, over.

Clarkson would have a chat about their career and shit before even getting to the cars.
>>
>>70238903

It was essentially just Chris Evan going "Look at how great America is!!! I hate Britain!!! We can't do anything!!! Woohoo America!!!"

LeBlanc will quit after the first season, regardless of what he signed up for
He just can't stand Chris

I was flicking the channels and decided to watch it for 10 mins. I gave up when they did the drag race and introduced drag queens.

The old boys would've laughed there asses of at the idea of drag queens, let alone put them on the show.
>>
>>70234551
Chris is a cunt trying to act like he isn't a cunt

Problem is he can't act. He's being scripted to sound like he's ad libbing

>>70241037
Who gives a fuck? The majority of the people in the world are racist as fuck, far more racist than Clarkson, why is it a massive fucking deal? I'd understand if he was some sort of nazi or saying racist slurs, or brinign it on the show. But people only think racism is such a bad thing 1: when white people do it and 2: because they're told it's bad

I feel so bad for Matt. I actually enjoyed watching him on his own but you can just tell he doesn't get on with Evans at all. You can actually see him suppress cringe now and again.
Matt absolutely loves cars and loved the show, you just know he's bitterly disappointed. I hope Jezza and the gang invite him onto their show because you can tell he misses them.
>>
>>70244332
Nah, it was a light reference and nothing more. Honestly the main thing that put me right off was the complete lack of back-and-forth chemistry, but then it's only their first episode together. The pairing of Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc is seriously fucking weird though.
Who would have thought in their respective heydays that they would ever end up working together?

>>70244415
That was bound to happen at some point, best to get it out of the way quickly. LeBlanc basically sat in the back of an RAC van for a whole segment though, what the fuck happened there?
What are they doing? Nobody expected it to be amazing, but I didn't expect it would be so weak.
And the studio segments with Evans... Jesus Christ.

i stopped right after they made jesse say he drove a porsche for 30 seconds. that whole bit was even more obviously scripted than regular top gear, and without the clarkson charisma to carry it.

leblanc was ok i guess, so was the lady driver. too bad the ginger is an absolute cunt.
>>
>"Indoors, the studio sequences were lively, if also slavish to the old style. There was no sign of the reported lack of chemistry between Evans and LeBlanc, and while the former worked the crowd like the polished media pro he is, the Friends star added some much needed sardonic grunt, instantly justifying his choice as co-host. It's a partnership that should improve with time."
The reviews are almost universally positive. When will /tv/ stop being so fucking contrarian? Just admit you're wrong. No biggie.

The studio sequences were Evans treating the audience like toddlers at a party.
But, I doubt it was his decision to add audience participation to make the most-skipped part of the show more akin to a Saturday night chat show.

Its like they wrote the lines exactly like how Clarkson is characterised but for Chris Evans. You can't just apply the exact same lines for another completely different person.

Also Extra Gear is so forced and unnecessary.
The banter about catering felt so stale and Evens even seemed uncomfortable talking about it.

I think LeBlanc is the best out of studio when he's in a car. Evans gave the "review" of the Viper like he was a used car salesman. I fucking hate that guy.
