Ugh. Those were some forced 90 minutes. Recycled jokes and nothing really interesting - the lunch challenge was absolutely terrible and seemed like a filler.

Well it wasn't that bad, but boring in a lot of parts, i really liked the end. The best for me was the Bolivia special 2 years ago

Not the most entertaining episode to say the least. Can't wait for Season 18.

Lack luster episode, seems like I've seen this done many times before (and way better) by Top Gear. These epic trip episodes were great when they were original.

Very true, it wasn't good it wasn't bad, it was a mix. Hope the next season will be better.

What a letdown.
Terrible premise, boring $hitshows for challenges, and it would've made no difference had it been anywhere else in the world.

I don't know about everyone else but I enjoyed it. I thought it was a good episode. I think the problem with Top Gear is that it sets the bar too high not only for other car shows but for Top Gear itself. We always want it to be better then before.

I am a huge Topgear fan and have watched every episode multiple times and enjoyed every one. I found this one was a bit tedious, it wasn't even a show about cars, more a show about clowning around in India.
