I wonder who you guys think is the best TG presenter. I think JC is by far the funniest, Richard Hammond is getting better every week, and James May coontributes with his very british character. They are one hell of a team I think.

Hammond has a great skillof giving me goosebumps, just the way he talks when he is testing awesome vehicles. (Like the Zonda Roadster, his best one so far.)

I think Jeremys funniest ep is last weeks. Amazing how funny it can be, but they all depend of eachother now. They work a lot better together now, than last season.

Could there be any better presenter than Jeremy? He's Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Ghandi, Hitler, and the Pope combined.

BTW: Choosing all three is sort of a cop-out. images/smilies/wink.gif

The fact that having three Jeremy's is not possible, I cant think of any better than Hammond and May. I do think Jeremy is the best one though. His movies and previous TV shows are all hillarious and super fun. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I voted for the Team option, but if I would have to choose one to do the show on his own, it'd be JC... images/smilies/smile.gif

JC is good by himself. but when JC and others mix up, it gets funny. mostly because they make fun of each other pretty well.

I voted for the team. Jeremy IS funny but the episodes would be a bit 'boring' if it was only him. They stand out from the rest of the host on other programs because they are so normal. Other tv shows have models or people with an exeptional good voice. These presenters were chosen because they can actually present a program.

Sounds like you are level with Justin when it comes to maturity. images/smilies/lol.gif
I think James is a very good presenter with a lot of Character.

I agree totally with Josty here. These people are normal people and not perfect colgate stand ins. Thats why the show has "Tha Vibe" images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I quite like James' reviews as well, brings a bit of balance to the show.

Jeremy is clearly the main presenter and he has his own opinions. He's "The Boss" which clearly shows(has he lost a single competition between the trio, apart from the S2000-Boxter-Z4?). Which actually, to my mind, is a bit disappointing at times.

Richard and James have their own characters. Richard is a young bloke with young bloke's enthusiasm. It clearly shows both from his reviews and his appearance in the show. James, on the other hand, is more of an old fashioned british male, and for the job he's perfect.

The main part why the show is so good is that the chemistry between these three works like charm. So, my vote goes for the team, but if two would be sacked I'd hope it's Jeremy who gets to stay.

I voted James. I loved his Triumph and Gullwing reviews.

Any one of the three could easily handle their own show. I love how they all bring something different. It's a wonderful balance.

I also like to read their columns (except Richard's) - they are good writers to boot.

Lets hope the team lives on forever! 8)

Jeremy is the greatest one. but as a team, the potential goes up in a 1000%

Need say more? Just look the Cheap Porsche Challenge
