I hate all 3 of them, absolute self-indulgent pieces of shit.
I guess if you look at levels of hate, I probably hate May the least, but they're all shit.

Out of the Top Gear/The Grand Tour Trio - which is your favourite, Jeremy Clarkson,Richard Hammond or James May?

The least offensive of the three, but still tacitly endorses them and their behaviour, so fuck him. He's made some decisions that have rubbed me the wrong way, too.

May. For what it's worth, he's said he's pretty liberal. He was a Remain voter and supports Scottish independence. And beyond that he just seems like the coolest of the bunch.

They all suck. May is the most tolerable but he barely raises an eyebrow when horrible shit comes from the other two.

Was waiting for the political andy's to come out of the woodwork and get mad, not disappointed.
May is my favorite out of the three but I also really enjoy Clarkson, Hammond is definitely the least enjoyable but I still like him.
Came in here just for this.
May is the least worst. I don't think he'd call someone a slur to their face. But he has a history of being a grade A asshole himself.
Legitimately curious how posts like this would be accepted in, say, a Cyberpunk thread. 🤔
Especially when the Top Gear guys arent afraid to get political, and one of them physically assaulted their boss only to be rewarded with a new show on Amazon.
Didn't the original Stig also write a tell all book, which the Top Gear "lads" tried to legally block from publication under the claim it would impact their income, when he got sick of their shit?
If it has to be a human, original Stig. But doggo is definitely goodest boy.
Oh wow, I'm surprised by the love of May here. I like him but he's my least favourite of the three. I got into Top Gear about a year or two before the 'incident' which led us to Grand Tour. I'd always known and heard about Top Gear growing up but I hate cars. I still don't like card but the trios chemistry, antics and the challenges they take on is what makes me watch. There were segments in Top Gear I would skip because they were too 'car heavy' but I haven't done that once with Grand Tour.
Definitely May, he's the only genuine one of the three, hate Hammond the most even after all of Clarkson's antics. But like someone said a few posts up, it's the chemistry that makes the trio work. That said, I haven't watched Grand Tour for a while so this might all be slightly out of date
James May you can only take in small doses. Clarkson could review cars all day and I would not be bored to sleep and know he is enthusiastic about all kinda of cars not just an 80 hp Lada.
This is speaking about his Top Gear and earlier car reviews though. His playing the idiot road trip troll of late is insufferable

I think in some respects the Grand Tour is better then Top Gear though i have had heard a lot of debate on that with pepole being kinda mixed on the Greatest Hunt
Indeed, they play really well off each other and that magic just isn't something you can write and cast actors for :D
But i think his solo shows have been considerably weaker due to this.

Yeah, Clarkson may be a twat but he has great chemistry with the other two. It really would not have worked well without all three of them

And they're vocally against brexit now and have been for a while so I don't get how a brexit voter would watch their recent stuff and basically enjoy being told they were an idiot.
Ow yeah I remember that one truly incredible.Has to be May alone for the legendary reason he was fired from Autocar magazine...

That's great. Also pepole always say that May is the nice guy in a way he kinda is but rewatching Top Gear/Grand Tour made me realise he can be even more meanspirited towards Hammond and Clarkson then they are of him
AFAIK Jeremy was the most vocal against it, May was also against it,
Hammond is for it.
Yeah I think you're right there. Iirc they've aimed a few jabs at Hammond over it come to think of it.
I like May's mostly calm, intelligent but still witty way of presenting. He balances the craziness of the other two. I'll watch anything with him in it, and I have. Even his recent bit on Youtube about owning a pub has been fun.
His wine show was great. I like his other shows on Amazon, his other BBC stuff, particularly Cars of the People, 20th Century, and the one about NASA and the Moon.
