Jezza's spin shows and confirms the fact that the life of those guys is everytime in danger. Proper danger!
For us, to simple stay on the couch and give a simple note with a bag of chips in our lap, it's simple and sometimes superfficialy...
But to be entertainment, a little bit infformative and always new and fresh, and with your life in the game, it's blody difficult. Sometimes, if you are Jezza, or May, or Richard, and you spin like that, it makes you wonder if its worthy to die (or even whorse-to be mutilated) in a 30k car, in a straight line, without traffic and mountains ahead... For that, this guys and all the team behind get's a 10+ for me.
Plus the fact that those guys are not in the 30's anymore... Richard is younger, but he had a deadly crash in the past... Sometimes, this kind of trauma make cause a permanet brain damage. For the "simple" fact that he is back in the cars sience then with the pedall on the floor, is simple outstaining. It's not the money anymore. After that, you simply want to live.
Look at the guys that were on the Everest; got a couple of fingers and a nouse frozen and back to home. Many of that gys are dead now... Why? Because they were back on the Himalaya mountains dissapear in the abis... At a small scale, it's the same situation with Top Gear presenters.
Also, i think that tose 3 guys had more accident behind the camera that we don't now yet. I trullly think that...
It's true that in the backstage are an army of people on this big show, but still... as i saw, a brand new BMW can kill you in a simple straight line. Also, Jeremy is a big animal that puts weight on the front suspension... Probably with Richard in the same scenario the spin had happen a little bit earlyer and harder...
Also, the Jezza review on this episode is TRUE, with some cold blood, like allways.
The AMG Mercedes is simple too f. expensive and so, is out. It does not care if it's brilliant, it's arrogant expensive compared with the other two cars. Then the fact that the spin and deadly comportament of the BMW was given to the public, makes Top Gear a truly infformative show, despite the comedy, scenario and other tipical facts that some of us think is rubbish. If you can discern the information, after each episode, you cand end up with a lough on your face, a blessing soul, some (a lot!) beautiful imagies and a little bit information.
The comercial parts in the show are so well hidden that i don't give a coin for that, because it compensaited with the cold blod reviews. If the car is good or brilliant, it is, it does NOT cares if it is from Romania or a garage with a name on it... Or if is rubbish, it is rubish, despite the logo on the steering wheel. That's a very very important caracter of the show.
Top Gear (still) RULEZ. The same resepy, the same people, the same show and it's still in the same league (8-10). This episode get's from me a worthy 9. A 10 it's allmoust impossible. But the all crew gets a 10+ from me. And for that, because i'm in a melancoly state of mind, this episode i give it a rare 10.
Thank you for your time reading this, and excuse me for my bad english...
