This episode was kind of frustrating. Some good ideas, but the execution wasn't very good. The SL Black review was decent, a real Jeremy review without stupid gimmicks for actually doing something else. Not cut short and contained actual info, which is good. The news was better than last week in that it wasn't just stupid toilet humor, but it's still not all that great.
The Ken Block thing was great in principal, but it fell flat somehow. I wish they had had Ken show James some driving skills, like he did with Jackie Stewart and Mika H?kkinen. If they were just gonna have James be a passenger, do something more interesting than drive around the (albeit beautifully shot) California desert, like they did when James was driven down the ski slope.
The cheap car "challenge" was again a decent idea, but it was boring and a somehow lacking. I guess those guys attract a huge crowd wherever they go and can't shoot in London like they did in the old days; also I still don't really get the point of the second half. Anyway I gave it a 6, I think they're running out of ideas.
