Yay, those were two of the things that I thought was pretty lame.

Celebrity Brain Crash was slightly funny the first time. After that, not so much.

I know it is only 2 episodes in so far, but I am really enjoying this season a lot more than last. They listened to the fans and it reminds me a lot more like older top gear so far. The celebrity thing seems to be a good formula and the new driver doesn't talk, at least she does not yet. I hope they keep it up.

There's some solid improvements this season. I'm glad they just admitted right out that "you all hated it" in regards to Celebrity Brain Crash and The American.

I read that they 'downgraded' the test driver from a character to just a glorified production crew member. So don't expect her to get much time commenting on anything. That might just be for the best. At least for now.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Did some research on here. She is a local racer. So at least has some experience behind the wheel. Wonder how her times would compare to the "American".

I kind of liked the American, just wish he would have given real impressions instead of bashing euro stuff.

I really doubt they killed sheep. :lol:

I stumbled on these on YouTube by accident. Good lord, this was long ago.

This latest episode they talked about top speed that we talked about some where on the forum and how we use to have fast vehicles. It was very interesting and very good. I thought the boat stuff was gonna be stupid but as someone would would have always loved an amphibious vehicle it was kind of cool.

Honestly I have been really enjoying this season. A lot. Can't wait to see the special, which I think would be next week? There are 12 episodes a season, but can't remember what episode they are on off the top of my head.

I know they are doing something up in Canada this week.

I finally started watching the show a few weeks ago. I think I'm up to week #5 now. It's been very entertaining and enjoyable thus far. :)

The last two have been especially good. They're having fun, but not being as stupid and buffoonish. It's a nice change.

The first season of TGT was hit and miss in each episode. This season, has been SOLID!

I agree. I think they listened to fans. Got rid of stupid stuff. Found their groove. I was very happy.
