The thing that I dislike the most about the new incarnation of Top Gear is the 'Star in a Rallycross Car' segment, primarily the interview segments where it's a comparison of first cars and best cars. Really? Is that the best you can come up with? I understand that Clarkson can rub people the wrong way, but one thing he did very well was give genuinely good interviews most of the time and never had to resort to cheesy nonsense such as this. I do like the concept of switching it to a rallycross car, although I personally had no issue with the SIARPC format, however the interview portion has made me cringe through the first two episodes. I will say that episode two was more enjoyable than the first one (which I fell asleep twice when trying to watch, no joke), but it's kind of sad that this is what the show has become. I'm still hopeful that it will get better, but I am seriously considering watching Top Gear America again as what I once thought was a dismal show now puts the BBC version to shame. Joey, I mean Matt LeBlanc is better in the recorded segments but comes across too much like an actor (shocker!) in the studio segments. I do hope though that Eddie Jordan gets more airtime as I enjoyed his debut in episode two.
