I was watching the Reliant Robin Space Shuttle episode last night, and I noticed a few things:
They seemed to actually want it to work. There wasn't a deliberate attempt to obviously sabotage the end result. There was obvious cocking about that was scripted (May in the windtunnel when they said they thought it was "self use", the RC airplane hitting the window), but it was funny and few and far between the serious bits, which were 10,000x more hilarious. Hammond seemed legitimately shocked when he found out the Robin wasn't a quality rocket part, even though it was "pointy".
You just don't get that feel, that meshing vibe that they want to work together. It doesn't feel like me and two of my friends giving something a go. It feels like TV, and that is why it isn't fun anymore.
