Finally, a good TG. Another amazing trek. Maybe not quite as good as Botswana but not bad at all.

The rest of this season has pretty much sucked imho.

Very entertaining episode. I always enjoy TG, but this was the best of the season.

The season wasn't the best, but it was still entertaining. However, this episode was fantastic. It made me really want to go on another offroading trip with my friends in the Xterra.

Botswana was a hoot but fun to watch. Cannot wait for this one!

It was a good episode. I liked the star in a reasonably priced car bit the most.

weakest season ever, imo.

so many set-ups. I was disappointed in most of the episodes.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
