Top Gear-India Christmas special
I'm in the middle of watching this from a torrent someone downloaded.
Pretty much underwhelming. Am I just in the wrong state of mind, or does this episode kind of suck?

I think the simple fact is that Top Gear has been on the air for a while and things are getting predictable. I personally did not enjoy it as much as previous specials. Can't stand them throwing food on the ground in front of all the people for sake of "entertainment". Same thing with them destroying each others' gifts in Vietnam. There has to be a difference between making a fool of themselves and plain being an ass just because it only costs them a few pounds.

I didn't like the special at all. The challenges were absolutely ridiculous. At least the Vietnam and Middle Eastern specials had a purpose and an end-goal. Although, I did laugh pretty hard at the British I.T. banner.

Disappointing. I hope they can improve in the future.

Another vote for disappointing. They almost seem to be doing it on purpose. If the ratings die off then they can move on.
Why they ruined those nice cars for this episode, I don't know....it wasn't like they even went off road.

Way, way below their usual comedic level.

Top Gear has run its course.
