There was a bunch of articles going around how Matt Leblanc / most everyone on the team absolutely hated Evans and threatened to leave the show if he wasn't sacked. The articles also mentioned how after like four episodes, the viewership has steadily tanked.
I've only watched the first episode of this new incarnation, and it was on par (as bad as) Top Gear USA and I have no interest in seeing anything else. They've lined up an interesting selection of alternative presenters, but you only see them for pre-filmed segments, thus you were stuck with Leblanc/Evans for everything. I'm surprised the BBC thought any of this was ever going to work. We'll probably get the old three back in a year after Bezos cancels "The Grand Tour" for being too expensive, and the BBC version having worse viewership than some local access show.
