I actually like the US guys. I think they've come into their own after an awkward start.
And on that bombshell...
LINKGreat news.
The British version was much better than the US spinoff by far. Did not see any of the shows with the new hosts, but Clarkson and the rest really did not hold back on their opinions and we just don't see shows like that over here. They would get a car to test drive and just out and out call it rubbish and say it in a funny way too.
BBC guys. They've really started to figure things out. I'm not saying they're as good as the GT guys, but they found their own style and it's really good.Eephus said:
They're ditching the tent and short segments to do full-length location shoots like the Colombia and Mongolia shows from Series 3.
how long have this crew been together? seem like chemistry is there. when does it finally move to Netflix, Hulu or somewhere to stream?

Matt decided he didn't want to do it any more. I'm not sure why BBC decided to kick Rory off too. I thought he was a pretty good fit. The new guys are a comic and a cricketer.TheIronSheik said:
Motor Trend has US broadcast rights again this year for the 24 Hours of Le Mans so there's that.
Even the Brit couldn't understand the other Brits. So much so, that at certain points of the show, they actually put subtitles down when they're talking. Mental.
The longer I watched it, the better I was getting at understanding them. Not always, but better. And yes, my brain is the same way. It'll be 20 seconds later and my brain will just figure out a sentence the guy said. Also, sometimes they put the subtitles down and I still have no idea what they're saying.Any show that's car related on TV, I'm pretty much a complete whore for, I'll watch anything car related, same with the youtubez, I watch most of what is car related out there so even if the new crew sucked, I'd still watch it. However, I do like this new group so far but God almighty the two new guys talk like they have mouths full of $hit or something. At first I thought they were being funny with the captions but when they don't include the captions, honestly, I'm completely lost. Seriously, I have no idea what they're saying most of the time. Often, when the leave out the captions, I find I'm a minute behind because my brain is still trying to translate whatever they were saying a minute ago back into English.
Sounds like the movie Snatch. Brits living in some rural areas can be darn near impossible to understand. Like trying to understand someone from deep in the Louisiana bayous.Any show that's car related on TV, I'm pretty much a complete whore for, I'll watch anything car related, same with the youtubez, I watch most of what is car related out there so even if the new crew sucked, I'd still watch it.

I'd watch a show just of them having lunch together. Really bummed that they won't be doing this show anymore, but I think they've done everything they can possibly do in this particular format.
I'm sure they agree with the bolded and decided to officially end it. Plus, I can't imagine how their old bones (even Hammond is in his 50's) would take the abuse that comes with what they put themselves through.
