I didn't believe Fifth Gear would become better than Top Gear, at least not so soon. But it's a given fact, Top Gear went, if not into wrong direction at least at different direction comparing to the first seasons. I do NOT have any joy watching the 3 TG guys buying some old cars and braking them down with "challenges" which are in 80% bloody cheap, and all that to be the main stuff in every single episode. I used to love TG mainly because Jeremy's reviews full of different and funny approach to the car and the interesting tests with those supercars. I don't want to watch no more "buy a bicycle for 20 bugs and make it Ferrari in Jeremy's way" - it's mediocre, really. And Jeremy to say that the races from point A to point B are not made up when EVERY time they have 30 secs difference at the finish is what I call arrogance.
And in the name of the Gods of the cars, please Top Gear, enough with those gays as guest stars. From where do you dig those individuals. Are those the stars of UK. Please, stop it ! When was the LAST time a beautiful woman was on the show (oh yes, the news girls, who are not the exact idea of beautiful IMO). I understand that in the UK is quite unusual to meet a beautiful female, but came on... Take one girl from some model agency and put it there just to look at her for 10 min, but enough with those gays and semi-crazy "stars".
Sorry for so much TG, but that was needed in order to express what I see in Fifth Gear: great car reviews in most of the time: GT2, SL63 AMG, some sporty cars... A car flipover just for taste. That's what I want. I don't want circus with 3 clowns driving old 1000 pound cars...
If I do, I'll watch Thunder Races or Junkyard Wars on Discovery, 'cause they do it so much better than TG's show.
Well, not the best presenters in Fifth Gear. That new guy - OMG ! and Vicki - wow, when they say ugly, thats what it comes to mind...
But looking forward to see Fifth Gear getting better and better. I liked this episode a lot.
Sorry for being so offensive, but as a real CAR lover and not cheap comedy show lover I felt obligated to say all this.
