Dammit. Matt LeBlanc leaving Top Gear

Says he's leaving after the next season wraps up. The travel is taking him away from home too much. I can respect that. I just hope that yet another hosting shake up doesn't wreck the positive momentum they were building up.

Maybe it'll be a good excuse to shuffle up the show in light of the track getting bulldozed in the near future as well.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

I was worried when he went on top gear as I didn’t see him doing it, after watching...he does a great job!

I think Chris could handle taking the lead position, but he needs someone to play off of. Him and Matt had that chemistry. Rory is great, but I think he works better solo.

Given the political climate recently, they could add a female co-host. I don't think Sabine would work. I think she's amazing, but she's best as a driver and technical 'consultant'.

Danica Patrick is out of work....but she'd probably steer the show into a wall :heehee:
