G?day everyone,
In the past I?ve avoided the forums, i?m on enough of them already but ?
Fifth Gear S10 Ep1 left me so angry and disappointed I had to check these forums just to see if I was the only person doing my nut over how much of a train wreck the new format was.
They?re taken a great show and crushed it with a git and a backhoe.
It?s heartening to find that I?m not alone in my anger, perhaps its all been said before but I?ll post what I said on an Aussie Forum because I?m hoping it may be somewhat therapeutic and on the odd chance that someone from their team is smart enough to check these forums and gauge each shows success.
Has anyone else started watching the latest Fifth Gear season?
They have a new presenter; ?Tim Lovejoy?. This pommy git is like the mongrel son of Dieter from ?The car show? and Liam Gallagher .
?Tim admits he doesn't know how engines work, but makes up for it with enthusiasm and a love for cars.?
It I wanted to listen to some stuck up clueless prat talking about exotic cars, I?d go chat to a car salesman.
This guy is so up himself, sh*t uncontrollably spews from his mouth. Tim rambled on about how he was mates with rock stars, I begged for him to shut the F*** up and let me watch Vicky.
I think Fifth Gear Producers wanted a James May equivalent, someone who didn?t have a wealth of knowledge about exotic cars so that the ?common man? could relate to the show. Unfortunately this guy lacks the style, poise and humility that the eccentric May offers.
?Tim began his television career as a covering VJ for the MTV channel before joining Planet 24 where he worked as a researcher for The Big Breakfast?
Can you imagine a CHEEZ TV host swtiching to one of your favorite programs instead of Tiff, Jason, Vicky or even Tom!
Tims addition to Fifth Gear is making viewing excruciatingly painful
...and they gave this guy center stage for most of the episode.
Unfortunately given Hamster?s accident Fifth Gear is as good as it gets right now.
