    Eddie Jordan is a right annoying cnut. Who knew?

    The look of genuine fear when JB was driving it sideways and dicking about with the cup holder/heater/stereo at the same time was better.

    Well, press today is all over rumours that Matt LeBlanc is saying he will leave TG if Chris Evans doesn't get pushed...

    I'm glad MLB is sticking his neck out if this is true. I guess CE will be gone between seasons.

    If that actually happens it might just rescue TG. Whilst I have given up on this series, I would like to see TG continue and find a new format that works.

    The Ginger Menace has got to go. Evans was always annoying, but this is unbearable.

    Just caught up on the last two episodes and l'm really enjoying it, I'm warming to Chris Harris so long as he's driving.

    I still don't get the hate towards Chris Evans.

    Unfortunately Rory is the weakest link, the Jaguar segment had me cringing especially when he met the original driver.

    Viewership at a all time low means something will be done. Average for 5 episodes is below 3million viewers compared to 6million for last season.

    Yea he does reviews well but not scripted "races". That was really bad

    Yeah, it feels too forced - not natural.

    Overall though I'm enjoying Top Gear in it's current format, even Joey from Friends :)

    Same! It's enough different but good different. Still skip the star in a car **** though.

    Unfortunately Top Gear's ratings fell to 1.9 million people last night. It was the smallest audience for any episode since the 2002 relaunch. That ginger twerp has got to go.

    And now there are allegations of sexual assault with Chris Evans, along with a reported rift between him and Matt LeBlanc. This all could have been avoided had some twerp not given Evans the position. Who the hell greenlit that decision? There's more matter in a cubic metre of space than between that individuals ears.

    That doesn't surprise me. I remember watching a TV show many years ago where he virtually forced himself on Natalie Imbruglia. He made her very uncomfortable.

    Not to mention when virtually his whole radio crew quit when he went after the barely legal Billie Piper...

    Note to whoever owns the thread and changes the title: AFAIK, there isn't a show on July 10th. Yesterday's was the last of the series.

    Was the drop down to Evans? Or France vs Iceland?

    IMO the very fact they scheduled it at the same time as the football [regardless of who was playing] means they don't give a toss about viewing figures.

    Clarkson-gear got bumped around in the schedule for stuff like that all the time. [And the series runs were scheduled so they weren't trying to compete for audience share with stuff like Strictly Come X Factor's Got Talent]

    The absurd number of presenters just made it all a mess anyway, the ginger will be no loss for TG.

    Or people waiting until it is on iplayer after it aired so they skip annoying bits?
