Top Gear USA filming

[Humble]

Yesterday I was in the audience for Top Gear USA filming down in Irvine, CA. It was a lot of fun and boring at the same time. I'll be in the first episode but I'm not sure if I'll be on camera yet. I can't say much about the episode itself but it is right on with the original Top Gear quality. They actually had a writer and producer I think, from Top Gear UK assisting the USA filming so it's got the same flavor. The hosts are 2 for 3, Rutledge and Adam are awesome in person and very funny. Those two already have a chemistry and I think it will come across in the final product. Tanner Foust is a lost cause, he's had 3 or 4 shows now and has never made a good host. He's a terrific guy but doesn't emote at all, and his performance is just wooden. I think Tanner will be the awkward part of season 1, and I hope they replace him for season 2.
