They missed the boat with that one.
After most of their road trip specials, I find myself wanting to do the same. After Bolivia, I was wondering what kind of off-road trip I could do. Since Vietnam, a friend and I have been wanting to do the same "buy a scooter and ride about". It gets your imagination going.
This is absolutely not the case with this special. Dull and uninspiring is what comes to mind. India? Could've been anywhere in the world.
The premise of it all is a hindrance more than anything, with that stupid dinner as its culmination. Not even funny. Just boredom, waiting for the next bit, hoping it'll be better.
There was no road-trip feeling whatsoever. Just drive from a dumb challenge to the other. And by dumb challenge, I mean staged shit show.
It would've helped if they stepped out of their fake personalities for a minute. The food delivery would've been bearable had it been genuine, aka "can we do better?" instead of "raaaaaah look at me throwing things in my trunk! oh cock, I'm lost! I love this car *flashes teeth* look at me mucking it up". Stupid stupid stupid.
Just no. Will not be watching it again.
Just irritating about what it could've been ... and what it was. Argh! I can't believe the same people made such amazing shows, and now this.
