I started off on this thread because it was about problems with the Australia version of the show and some how it ended up being what was wrongs with all Top Gears. I have downloaded all the Australia shows but I am only 2/3 of the way thru the first season. So far it seems to me that the guys in the UK faxed a show to Australia and they just put it on the air. Episode one started off by describing this as an all new show for Australian's, by Australian's. So I thought "OK, Cool, a new twist on the Top Gear theme... I wonder what they will do?"
So far I am disappointed. I was expecting an all new show, but all I have gotten so far is a bad facsimile of the UK one. NEW? An older cocky guy, a short spunky guy, and a guy that does not seem to want to push a car to it's limits. An anonymous guy in a white race suit named "The Stig". Even the set is the exact same. Much of the challenges so far have been things I saw the guys in the UK do, only this time it is a different vehicle, and a slightly different game.
Keep in mind that I am only 2/3 of the way thru the 1st season, but I am still watching and hoping that the show will take off in it's own direction. That the presenters will develop their own unique personalities. And the I will not follow my girlfriends lead and just go to sleep when I put the next episode on. (She actually likes the UK one and will stay up till 6am with me watching those)
