Oh and Design Star - as amusing as the idea of them building their own house was - it is a bit of a relief that they only had to work with an established space.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I don't know about an American Top Gear--the best part of the British one is the interaction between the three co-hosts, and I can't see them reproducing that with that trio. Who knows, maybe they will, but I doubt it.

I want the show to do well for the sake of my 2009 bonus, but I'm seriously skeptical about Adam Corolla as American Jeremy Clarkson.

Actually, I was rather surprised at how likable Corolla was on a oneshot home makeover show he did for HGTV a year or so ago. And, he's supposedly a big gearhead, so he might be able to convey enthusiasm for the show's topic. Also, I liked Eric Strohmer on Clean Sweep, so that's two out of three I'm familiar with.

I cannot stand Nipa now. That 2 ingredient spice thing was ridiculous.
Are there people to root for? I haven't seen any eps yet and I'm wondering if it could fill my reality tv hole for a bit. (I don't watch the dance shows.)

Well, of the two frontrunners - I like Aaron and Lisa (through her competence) won me over.
We'll see.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I like Carolla, and I think his tendency for a little dickery combined with bombast is like Clarkson. I just hope the show isn't cheaply made.

I'm liking Aaron too. He got hosed by Nipa on the cayenne, and still managed to pull it off with his improv.

he's actually very intelligent, I think.
