I gave it a 7. Having read all the negativity here I expected it to be awful. It wasn't, certainly wasn't the worst episode ever, wasn't ever the worst episode of the season (1 and 2 were worse, no real direction, no Collins, Tiff popping up everywhere).
The plow bit was pretty funny. I agree with the prior poster, if the first bit was left out the overall score would be much higher. If they had replaced the first part with the cool wall, it'd have been a 10. Jeremy jumping in the snow, the ice cracking, A-HA, and Captain Slow driving a rear wheel steer vehicle were hysterical. Plus the second half was right out of the polar special.
The news was really funny. The bit about vanity plates was humorous, but all the jokes about "Daniel" both the driver of the Datsun POS, and the guy in the song were priceless. Then them revealing it as James's middle name put it over the top. You knew a big joke was coming, but you had no idea what it was gonna be. Yes it was scripted, but who the hell cares? It always was, always will be.
Didn't watch SIARPC, but the road test was quite good, great someone came out and mentioned how you can't generally improve an improvement. Stig stopping to clean the hood had me in stitches.
