--Totally enjoyable 2 plus hour run time!!--
In my opinion the very best content from this crew was around the 2007/8 era, Vietnam, North Pole, Southern USA, Bolivia, Amphibious Cars (both episodes), any Cheap Car challenge, Motorhomes, Cop Cars, Cheap Trains.....etc etc. It's all so good!
But aside from Mongolia and Lochdown, most of Grand Tour's grand tours are over processed, over packaged.
See, huge, massive companies can not be authentic or funny. Neither can Huge production TV shows. Too many hands in the pie. Budgets thats you have HAVE to use or lose. The result was Amazon's leviathan Grand Tour was churning out episodes for 8 year old boys watching YouTube. Think Dude Perfect, but somehow less authentic.
However, in Sand Job, SOMEHOW, WIlman has made this old formula FEEL again. The guys FEEL real again.
This new special has slowed down a bit. And it's much better for it. The scenery gets a beat to take your breath away. The dialogue is gets space for comedic timing, and most times, feels authentic.
It's exciting to see that as they put this lifelong thing (T. G & G. T.) that we cherish so much behind them, Wilman and the gang are going out on top,

My wife and I both thought this episode disappointed. Weak stories all around, especially in the temple. It seems that the writers are trying to recreate some of the suspense from the early seasons with mysterious and mum characters. I think the behavior of Jack, Sayid, and Hurley was not only out of character but pretty much unbelievable. Kate and Sayer's parts were weak as well. I could give examples of all this, but its not worth the time.
There is so much that is interesting happening in the world of Lost but this episode only contained 10 minutes worth of reasonable content. There's not enough time left in the series to waste it.
