It seems forced...... unfortunately it is still one of the best shows on in the US. The Brits are obviously better. Tanner belongs..... the other two..... not so much. They definitely need to consider replacements.

It is only 2 episodes, I am going to give it a chance.

I don't get the Tanner hate. Top Gear UK doesn't often go into history or specs, they do little fun gigs like this. He is following a script, he speaks clearly, he's clearly an enthusiast, and he can flat out drive.

I thought he did great, I will watch again because he is on the show. The other two dudes need to go, I don't think flannel shirt guy seems much like a car guy at all, his stuff feels loads more forced to me.

i know tanner is an enthusiast, i'm almost willing to bet he was one the biggest forces in trying to bring topgear to america. however, he does not make an entertaining host... and top gear is all about entertainment

and yes, rutledge is even worse, that whole aston bit was him trying to make fun of the brits like uk top gear makes fun of americans, but it just didn't work, he's no good at it...

The problem is James May has a freaking education and this Flannel Shirt US guy is the epitomy of crass uneducated US trailer trash, who thinks he's affected by the tax breaks for the rich at the same time. Waste of footage IMO to have that Flannel Shirt farting out his pie-hole. I think the other two guys have potential, but Flannel Shirt has potential to run a meth lab, nothing more!
Rutledge Wood is a NASCAR analyst.... so that explains pretty much everything you've said.
No krap?! I've been laughing for the past minute or two, I had to re-read my rant to make sure I had it the way I thought I wrote it. Go figure.
