I find Adam the best of the 3 and should be kept.
I have to disagree with this... completely.
I finally got around to watching the episodes, and Adam is... boring. I find-myself fast-forwarding through segments where he's solo. Sure, he gets some good one-liners in, such as
Champion of Moron's on the drifting episode... but that's it. When it came down to the interviews, once again, I found myself fast-forwarding through Adam's segments, but watching Rutledge's.
I guess what gets to me is that Adam Ferrara is supposed to be a comedian, but so far he's been about as funny as wallpaper paste. Maybe that's down to the scripting of the show and entirely the fault of the writers. I somewhat doubt that since there are
no writers credited for the show, indicating that Adam might be writing his own material for the show. If that's the case I have some bad news for him. He isn't funny.
I can kind of forgive Tanner if he's a bit a dry, or awkward in front of a camera, kind of for the same reason I gave Steve Pizzati a pass on the first season of Top Gear Australia. They're racers trying to be actors. Steve really started to shine through TGA S2 and the few awesome TGA S3 episodes that Channel 9 bothered to show when he stopped trying to be an actor and just was himself. I suspect that Tanner will wind up much like Pizzati, he'll be much more enjoyable to watch as he gets more comfortable being himself in front a camera.
So far I like everything Rutledge Wood has done with the show. He's managed to be funny, and his slightly off-kilter behavior (case in point: hugging a truck then threatening to lick it), makes him far more interesting in front of the camera.
Given the progress of the current series, if History Channel and BBC decide on a casting change, Adam's the one that should go first.
