I think it'll work fine. All they have to do is make fun of Tanner, give him some nutso things to do, and as long as he succeeds 51% of the time everyone comes out ahead. Maybe they'll make Tanner cry! That would be tremendous...
....and pretty much question why these three folks were even brought together in the first place. I thought one of the continuing arguments about the show is that the show's hosts need to be a cohesive chummy unit, like the three hosts on the UK show? Yet, we have two of the hosts picking on another host for some "abnormality" or "quirk." It's one thing if it's done "naturally" (i.e. Clarkson ramming his crap-can into May during a challenge, Hammond and May sabotaging Clarkson somehow), but to blatantly advertise the bullying? Yeah, not cool.
You think the US hosts bully?
At this point, I think the US hosts need to establish beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are just three "guy's guys" and need to establish abit of a rapport with both each other and the audience. Malicious acts of trying to sabotage each other needs to be saved for a later season.
Also, seeing the previews.....who the hell wrote the lead intro, History Channel? If so, then that was extremely misleading and inflammatory.

In guy's guy land (or whatever) that's not bullying.....
Whatever it may be, I'll bet it's illegal in San Francisco.
I didn't know San Francisco was communist.
Um, have you and your friends never picked on each other? Made fun of each other? Tormented each other mercilessly? Challenged each other to do stupid, stupid things?
If you mean by saying "Drifiting Sucks!!' and trying to stick me into every friggin' conveyance with an internal combustion engine......no.
At least the US hosts are not suicidal idiots like James May in the last Christmas special when he ignored and or was just plain ignorant of even the most basic vehicle recovery techniques. Maybe Hammond and Clarkson didn't know how dangerous the recovery attempt was.
And, evidently the entire TG UK crew didn't see that May was going to hurt himself.
No TG UK cameraman saw how dangerous the angle of the attempted recovery was or noticed where James was standing?
You think the US hosts bully? I think the UK presenters and entire crew wanted to see May dead.
Then you should get more friends. This is normal. Any other guys agree with me on this? Anyone? Bueller?
