We do have an OFFICIAL Season 9 Thread for Top Gear for such conversation.

i thought it was funny/interesting enough to warrant a separate thread... i wouldn't have clicked on the Top Gear thread because i'm really not a fan of the show.

 

[Cabages]

Ha Ha. That was good! They really were scared, but I didnt think people would actually do that, especially on camera.

Thats the third episode of this season right?

 

[m2kewl]

Haven't people learned by now that Top Gear shows are setups? They're not supposed to be 100% reality, they're entertainment. In nearly every show, they set something up to make it more exciting. Sort of like that train vs car episode.

 

[Leros]

That reminds when I was driving to Austin. I pulled into a small town to get gas. The pumps at the gas station were old so I had to go inside to pay. There were signs all over the store with slogans like "We kill n*ggers" and "f*ck yanks". It was quite disturbing. I got out of there as fast as I could.

All you suggesting that reality shows are real and not just for entertainment?

Some shows, like sitcoms, are obviously fiction.

Other shows, like documentaries, are real.

While still others, like Top Gear, are often fiction that masquerade as being reality.

1. They were provoked.

2. It's a TV Show, get over it.

3. People have a right to their own beliefs no matter how ignorant they appear to be.

4. They probably had to drive around for months before someone took the bait.

5. Similar reactions can be provoked by doing other things in other areas of the country.

6. Top Gear probably said / yelled / did things to those people that were not shown in the final video (edited out) in order to provoke a television worthy clip.

7. I hope you people get the message and stay the hell out of the south if you want to live.

It's not a fiction show... If you really think they'd have to set that up, you haven't gotten out of your suburb much.

They are setting up an interesting show. Sort of like that car vs. train show. Or the one where the Apache has to get missile lock on a car. How often do you see a show where the climax is a competition that's not even close? The show is a production, and there are heavy elements of fiction in it.

The main objective isn't to be as accurate as possible, it's to be as exciting as possible.

Like the completely anti-climactic ending where they employ the Blair Witch technique and don't film ANYTHING of significance but act like they're in dire peril? Whether the gas station scene was set up or not, the ending was completely weak. You can get a reaction like that anywhere if someone thinks there's some sort of conspiratory shenanigans going on.

Uhh, then maybe you need to get around some more. There are equally bad, if not worse, people in every country. His nationalistic snobbery wouldn't carry too far if you taped some of the lower English classes. The only difference is that their accent sounds better.

No really. I've driven through the area many times before and stopped at different small towns, which all had really nice people. But this one convenience store had some very racist owners, not to mention some really shady people hanging out inside. I didn't really understand what was going on because on the drive in and out of the town (1/4 mile total) I saw numerous Hispanic people.

 

[OrByte]

damn crazy stuff.

 

[meltdown75]

Watched this a while ago. It was much less crazy than it was hyped up to be. meh. drama queens FTL

...the people at the gas station just proved that there's a stereotype for a reason.
