Whoops, I forgot to make a thread.
They've done that on the UK version too, you know. Kinda hard to operate a train, ferry, bus, etc.Why would you do a race where two-thirds of the contestants can't operate the machine.
Fair point. It kinda corrupted the actual result by not meeting in a place where they could all just run to.TomCat said:My biggest complain with that segment was that usually the guys not using a car avoid using a car at any point, but when it came to the end of the race, Tanner was on a little motorcycle. Isn't that against the rules on the UK version?
I hope this series only lasts the one season
Not read much on here have you? Its the Brits who are not coming up with new ideas. TGUS has the same producers and most of the same writers. Bascially they are using some old ideas, saves some money/time and can be used as a test for US ratings.Im sorry but Americans are pathetic.... They cant come up with their own ideas not even for the first season which is so lousy. The egg test, the water, the racing against the sky diver. Like seriously first season and they dont have any sought of individuality of its own throughout the season. The hosts are useless one is a child, the other a nerd and the last sounds like a new york italian gangsta. You cant beat UK Top gear and I hope this series only lasts the one season. Though knowing the fat cat americans and their massive spending spree they will keep it for god knows how long. The UK hosts are well educated book writers, television presenters and general media professionals. The US hosts belong on farms or in restaurants.
Must have been missed timing or something. Both were in the same city (Wilkesboro, NC) for different episodes.Am I sensing a riff between the TGUSA and the TGUK shows? TGUK was over in the US for their "Blue Ridge Parkway/NY" episode, yet never met (on camera) with the TGUS team. Then Tanner goes over to the UK, and not only do they not get together with the TGUK people, they don't even use their track to test the Morgan. It seems that it would have been a natural thing to do, but no.
Not a bad episode, overall, but I think they missed an opportunity. They got together with TGAUS, why not TGUSA?
