slayer-nine's rating
To start off I want to state that I'm not familiar with Chris Evans and I'm somewhat familiar with Matt Le Blanc. I heard some people had misgivings about Chris being involved with Top Gear and now I clearly understand why.
The entire feel of the show was completely off, right from the start with the incredibly awkward introduction of Matt and a overly energetic Chris who felt compelled to shout at the camera like the audience was a bunch of pensioners who forgot their hearing aids.
The segments with Chris had an incredibly scripted feel that lacked any genuine emotion. With the previous hosts I didn't notice the scripted bits, the show felt more cohesive. This "new" Top Gear feels like a movie with bad CG effects that stick out like a sore thumb. Every contest had a BS you win and then Chris wins plot line result that a three year old child could have predicted.
The BBC needs to find a better host who can handle off the cuff humou, someone who is more of an everyday bloke that can talk like a normal human being.
That being said, Matt Le Blanc was OK, incredibly dry, but OK when reviewing the cars. Couldn't tell a joke to save his life... That bit about your mothers g-string was odd and the way he tried to play up the "bad guys" was just awful. With a different host Matt may have really turned out better but he was very awkward and forced with Chris. He looked like a guy on a date with a woman who is desperately attempting to get in his pants and post the play by play on snap chat.
