    Recent UK Top Gear Episode (26th July)

    Was anybody else quite dissatisfied at Episode 6 of this season of UK Top Gear? Personally I think it was my least favorite episode in the entire Series. (All 13 Seasons)

    What they got up to just wasn't entertaining like it has been in the past, and the staging in some parts was ridiculously obvious. The best part was the Brian Johnson interview, and that segment is normally my least favorite.

    Things that annoyed me included

    -The stupid dinosaur metaphor & accompanying visuals. like wtf?
    -The Camera discussion re. Land Rover - somewhat rehearsed but also not very interesting.
    -The three co-drivers. Obviously they were all acting to an extent. (eg. the midget innuendo - even if it wasn't staged it still wasn't very fun)

    Sure hope they put in a better performance next week; I can think of Top Gear Australia episodes better then this one.

    maybe I was just in a bad mood when I watched it, but I can definitely think of much more entertaining episodes.
