OK, watched it all now. The surfing thing was just bearable .. only because they didn't try to stuff the record attempt up, but they didn't need to mutilate the review to do this. Worst segment, by a country mile, was the blind rally thing ... done on the cheap, lots of tedious yelling, predictable cheating, no result. They seem to have been given an episode formula which states that "there must be a challenge, any challenge". The result, more often than not, is a perfunctory effort to fill time and fulfil this compulsory requirement.
I agree with Hbriz, they need to relax a little more ... especially Ewen. His Volvo bit was all over the place. He starts out saying he loves Volvos, then he spends the rest of the segment dissing them. If he likes them, why does he spit out the "matronly hips" and "drawn by a 10 year old" comments in such a disapproving fashion? He's annoyingly capricious, rather than being whimsical or quirky. I don't know why the ditched Warren. Maybe Warren ditched them.
A generous 3.
