To me, he is like the arrogant uncle that talks crap; never take him seriously.
If he goes, the Ape will be missed.
However, we have Top Gear USA and that one is a bland, lame ass show. I know the shows/episodes are scripted and fake (as far their challenges and stories) but that one in particular (USA); they make it way too obvious. Does not have the same chemistry of the Ape, Cpt Slow and the Hamster.
