"New" Top Gear didn't start out too great either - it took them a few years to find a winning formula. TGT is already better than the first few seasons of TG...

Guess I shall make an effort then. Think I watched the first...I don't know, 6 episodes maybe. By the 6th time of having seen a celebrity die, I was pretty much done.

Glad to see it is still this year! With Hammond being injured in that crash and Jezza down with pneumonia, I thought it would be pushed back to next year at least.

Did you notice the Cape Town number plates?
I swear those 3 should just come live here, maybe buy a house or something?

it seems like they constantly in Africa, sa in particular,

Loved when they drove those cars in Botswana with gauteng plates.

'Celebrity Brain Crash' Axed On The Grand Tour Season 2

The time are changing on Amazon Prime’s The Grand Tour. We learned that the tent will no longer travel, The American (Mike Skinner) has been cut and now it seems like Celebrity Brain Crash is no more, either. So much change coming at me so fast!

In a new promotional video for the show’s second season (which will air on Dec. 8), Jeremy Clarkson confirms that Amazon has decided to do away with Celebrity Brain Crash, the celebrity portion of the show where every celebrity was killed and thus unable to come on.

Simultaneously, it seems like Amazon still wants to keep some kind of celebrity segment, so the format will see some adjustments. Per the video, Clarkson has sawed off the back end of an Alfa Romeo and will make people drive around in it. It’s kind of like skid-plate racing!

If this segment goes how I think it will go, I’m actually pretty excited. It reminds me of the old Top Gear Reliant Robin episode, which had me wheezing on the floor because I was laughing so hard.

And thank God for Amazon killing Celebrity Brain Crash. Really. I found it funny maybe the first two times, but after that it just got so awkward, staged and lame. I think it might have been the three of them trolling the celebrity segment on old Top Gear, but who knows. I wouldn’t put it past them.

So! No more dying celebrities, unless they die horrifically while trying to operate half an Alfa Romeo.

Half an Alfa? A Halfa Romeo?
Somebody was defiantly on some drugs when they came up with that.

Why not duct tape a car, and see how long you can drive without it falling apart
