I still think there are too many hosts but it’s getting better. The reduction of Chris Evans really does help the show. They could just remove him next season and I don’t think anyone would complain.

Also when Matt says Bugatti “Cheer-on”.

Replace Chris Evans with Lisa Kudrow

Replace Eddie Jordan with David Schwimmer

Repeat as necessary

Meh. Just remove Evans, Jordan, and either Reed or Schmitz (don’t care which). Reduce to Leblanc, Harris, and a third over medium heat. Serve over cars. Profit.

Evans is locked into a 3 year contract so we have 5 more series with him, so you better get used to him. As for the show, I’m not sure where I stand. I’m enjoying it but I’m enjoying the bits with Harris and Reid substantially more than the rest. Hopefully in 2020 they get rid of everyone but Harris and Reid, burn the reality and panto bollocks to the ground and make it and out and out car show.

Agreed. He’s so corny.

To be honest I wouldn’t miss Matt either.

How about replacing Chris Evans with...

wait for it...

Daniel Ricciardo- The Honey Badger. If we’re throwing fantasy candidates out into the wind here, he is the ultimate pick. Love that guy.

I think in terms of being a savage he ranks right behind Ferrari Vettel. He's that good.

Brass tacks: Harris continues to be the star.

Rory’s the runner up. No one else can match these two’s genuine enthusiasm.

Vulcan was awesome (if not street legal); Model X film was a little repetitive (THIS is the future.” “This IS the future.” “This is the FUTURE.”) but still cool.

This time I simply skipped the stars.

The train challenge was suuuuuper booooring overall.

Eddie Jordan was...very wooden this week. Moreso than his last appearance.

In his VOs, LeBlanc kept starting sentences with “Yes...”

I love Sabine, but I haven’t heard her as long as I’ve heard Arnold’s accent, so it’s just hard to understand what she’s saying. That kills 90% of her comedy.

But what bugged me most: There was zero mentions of the Gold Wing’s make. It’s HONDA, Matt. A HONDA Gold Wing. Seemed like a weird omission considering they were constantly calling the cars Jaguar and Audi.

Evans is terrible and a contract does not mean he is protected. He can still be fired and kicked to the curb as he should be. BBC might have to buy him out and the day that happens is a good day for everyone
