Change the host and watch it improve.
I stopped watching after last week.Evans is just so annoying.It would be like having Kyle Sandilands host Top Gear Australia.

3rd episode they tried to keep Evans out of the spotlight.
Matt introduced all the videos and got a jab in on Evans right at the opening. There was even a bit where Evans had a paper bag on his head and said nothing, I must say that was his best work of the season
The producers know what's going on.

If they just got rid of Evans and kept everything else the same it would be a quite a bit better (but not appointment viewing like the Clarkson/Hammond/May version)
They showed the entire R8 lap of Leguna Seca on the 'after show' Extra Gear, and he was even more annoying in that (which I didn't think was possible)

The problem with Evans is he will never be able to drive cars.
Did you see Harris drifting that Ferrari at Paul Ricard? Evans would have put it into the wall which would be impressive given the massive amounts of run off traps
He will forever be the captain slow of the show, destined to be the butt of the jokes and the worst driver. I just don't think his ego could handle that.

Even Capt Slow could drive though, he did alot of work during his time on TGThe problem with Evans is he will never be able to drive cars.

Top Gear USA has been axed
http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2016/06/axed-top-gear-usa.html
Looks like Top Gear UK is in more turmoil.Reports earlier this week that Matt Le Blanc won't return unless Chris Evans is sacked.

I haven't watched it, but from what I've heard Le Blanc is one of the saving graces of the show?

I watched the first 2 eps and thought he'd be bad as a host,yet he was the highlight.Apparently in recent weeks they've had him and Rory,the black guy from TG Extra,doing more hosting than Evans.

I'm still enjoying this show. The last episode hardly had Evans in it so obviously they've listened to the feedback.
Also, that new Tesla was awesome!

This show might pick up now but I reckon its got 1 more year in it.
Shows ok I'll keep watching, but Evans was very annoying ( he's got good head for radio) glad he's gone, they also need to trim/cut the stars in a rally car segment too long and awful awful awful, I usually skip that altogether

I said if Evans stepped down I would give him the respect he deserves for making the right decision.
Good on him. No need to say anything more negative, he has accepted responsibility and now it is up to the others to lift the show up back. They need to write jokes and get people laughing. All these car reviews are really obtrusive unlike with the old crew where they could slot them in with a stack of jokes so you didn't even really notice it was a boring old car review that cost them nothing except the filming time and getting the car on loan.

Was my first watch of the new format. I actually think LeBlanc was equally bad as host, just far too slow and his dim humour doesn't work at all. The holy trinity were all fairly quick witted thinkers and jokers. For moments I actually thought LeBlanc slipped back in to character as Joey.
Whatever happens it must bring back 3 hosts to bounce off each other and also talk s**t about whichever one happens to not be present at the time.
I think all the various Top Gear incarnations around the world have shown it's really the presenters, not the format that made TG what it was. US Top Gear, Aus Top Gear and new Top Gear are all apocalyptically s**t.
The DHL Box Challenge was quite entertaining though!

Agree it was the hosts that made it special, but with LeBlanc they're barking up the wrong tree, and Evans is an annoying and poor imitation of the original trifecta.
Jee, I just noticed it's not on Ch 9 tonight, after them showing only the 1st episode last week.

If you get a chance to watch this, I highly recommend it. It is a brilliant tribute to a brilliant driver and a great half hour of tv
