Now that the dust has settled and the last episode has been seen. Let's discuss The Grand Tour.
I love the Top Gear lads but The Grand Tour needs some work.
Things that need to be dropped.
>The American who isn't funny
>Celebrity Brain Crash
>The scripted shit.
Now I know I know it was always scripted. But if the producers or directors had half a brain what they would do is social engineer situations that the 3 guys could improv and have genuine reactions to. The most I've laughed is when they have proper real banter and bounce off each other and I get to laugh with them and you can tell easy and sub consciously that it's real. The forced shit isn't funny and isn't going to keep people watching.
Discuss faggots.
I mean, you've pretty much said it. The American dude is an unfunny forced meme. Celebrity brain crash stopped being funny by the second episode and the interactions felt too unnatural.

>I mean, you've pretty much said it.
My most successful thread ever.
>>79061152
It stopped being funny the first time they did it
IT'S SHIT
>>79061152
This.

i-i-t-it-it's sigh yeah it's a little shit yeah..fuck

Top Gear > Grand Tour > Nu-Top Gear
now Nu-Nu-Top Gear might have a lot of potential considering they dropped Evans and promoted Rory Reid and Chris Harris to main hosts alongside LeBlanc.
>>79061283
this is accurate
the american should be dropped, from a cliff. The stig worked because he was quiet but still interesting
While the show isnt that good, I believe they still need to find their rythm and shit, it was a big change and I hope for season 2 they figure out what works and what doesnt
>>79061283
this video makes me hopeful

it's exactly the kind of banter and car challenges they have lost on The Grand Tour
i'd never thought the BBC could make a better show than Clarkson and Wilman
>>79061283
I didn't like them. They seemed to have no personality at all.
LeBlanc should be the main guy, he seemed to be the best.
>>79061364
Compare the second half of the season (after Namibia special) to the first half, it was already an improvement. Now drop cringy shit like American and Celebrity Braincrash (which really everyone hates it seems) and the trio is gonna be great again.

>I didn't like them. They seemed to have no personality at all.
u wot m8? did you watch Extra Gear?
Harris has such a passion for cars and technicality of it, and the way he can transport that to the viewer is probably only equalled by James May.
now Reid on his own isn't that interesting, but his banter with Harris was great.
>>79061442
>extra gear
No I watched Top Gear, I wasn't aware that I had to watch additional programming to see them have actual personality.
>>79061464
Still doesn't change the fact that they have it, though.
Also Extra Gear was a lot better than actual Top Gear.
>>79061283
>and promoted Rory Reid
Yeah man I can't wait for some bix nood rapping in my Top Gear mmm thank you BBC™

can you post the episode numbers aswell? i don't remember/bother with the original titles
i was on the verge of dropping the show before i saw the james may ferrari vs ford segment, that was amazing
in the latest episode the studio segments were actually funny for the first time
>Camera full on Hammond's face
>James scooping up the blood in the background
>>79062381
that was pure car-kino
>>79061283
Yes.
After a rocky start they did their best season in a while (when compared to Top Gear).
Good shit
