TOP GEAR USA: UPDATE -- It's getting much better. Show #3 was excellent

I just thought I'd update my previous review -- show #1 definitely sucked. Show #2 was better. Show #3 was funny as hell. Nicely done.

I didn't think the first show was THAT bad. Obviously a lot of the humour was
canned.. etc. They've got huge british shoes fill....
3rd show. I was in stitches.
4th looks even funnier, can't wait for the paint ball wars...

Agree. Still feels like the three hosts watched the UK version soo many times
they are trying to emulate Richard, Jeremy, and James.

For example in episode 3, in the UK version Richard and/or Jeremy usually
rear-end or bump into James' car any time they do that shot in the challenges
where the three cars pull up and stop together.

In the US version, instead of the 'bump' routine, it seems it is for Rutledge
to break something off of the others' cars. He busted off the caddy hood
ornament, and also a mirror from tanner's car....

Certainly it should have been addressed in the Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan administrations -- all of which were well aware of the implications of a pandemic. I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything.

This is not quite a scam because it's technically legal, but it's run very much like a scam. This company works with a few "clients" that have vast repositories of copyrighted images. The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
