New makeup artist?

Just watched Episode 1. I thought it was pretty good, and Clarkson does look a bit healthier. I had to turn my VPN off to watch it, first time I've run across that.

James May’s teeth looked black?

Didn't notice, was more focused on Clarkson's belly. Which is impressive. Turn off that "sent from my iphone" shit bro, it's in settings on the app.

Thought it was pretty good. My wife actually watched the whole thing, too, and had a few laughs, which is different. In the past, she’d wander off somewhere else when I’d watch it. She wasn’t quite prepared for the “Hammond’s got an erection” line, though.

Looked like he had braces.

That belly is impressive. Great episode.

Now this...

looks more like it.

hits prime at 4pm Thursday

**AdironRider** · 01-24-2019, 03:35 PM

Can't wait for this one. The Bolivia off roading episode was by far my favorite Top Gear ever, looking forward to round 2.

Aside from a few laugh out loud moments.. it really didn't live up to the potential hinted at in the trailer. Maybe the second part will redeem it?

**Svengali** · 01-25-2019, 07:19 PM

According to Grand Tour instagram, Part 2 contains scenes that donkey enthusiasts may find disturbing!

**::: :::** · 01-25-2019, 07:49 PM

Sure that wasn’t pt 1?

**Svengali** · 01-28-2019, 08:30 AM

finally watched them both, definitely part 1!

It was entertaining. Better than most of their recent two part specials, probably on par with the 'Find the source of the Nile' special. Hopefully this bodes well that they've found their mojo again.

The look on Clarkson's face when he was asking about the donkey situation was fantastic. He was trying so hard to hold it together. And the oh shit moment on the volcano when the weather broke loose.

Pt 2 Colombia was pretty good.

Really? I just thought it was so obviously staged that it wasn't funny at all.

Was a little better than first part.

I know enough Spanish to be dangerous. The locals (probably) weren't actors and you didn't have to wait for the translation. Watching the clip above, I probably laughed more at the locals answering his questions than at Jezza. Maybe the couple of beers I drank helped out as well. Either way I was entertained.

And yes, Columbian donkey sex is a normal thing. They consider it practice for the kids so they know what they're doing when they get married. The things you learn in construction.

**Fritz** · 01-29-2019, 12:41 PM

That belly. It’s mesmerizing!

**iceman** · 01-29-2019, 12:42 PM

I thought he was genuinely upset by the donkey sex. Which was kinda humorous in its own way. I thought Part 1 was good over all, I enjoyed it at least. Yeah some of it was pretty stupid, no doubt. That first bridge was sketchy as fuck, I'm pretty sure Hammond wasn't acting when he said he felt like he was gonna puke. Looking forward to Part 2 tonight.

I enjoined James May throwing a brick at Jeremy.

The soccer game section gave an idea of the large support crew required to do this show. All the repairs and modifications that happen off camera must be impressive/expensive.

The Patagonia special even more so... huge convoy of people, vehicles being chased out of Argentina by an angry mob.
