I think he's under pressure due to some allegations of him groping his female fellow worker a few years ago. Apparently a control freak, the papers indicate. That would have contributed to his exit.

Due to the rude and controlling behavour on set Matt Le Blanc was refusing to work with him on the next series. Matt having more international appeal and the feedback from the British public he was asked to go.

This^^^

And tbh, it was always going to happen, since everything HAS to be about him!

I dislike the guy intensely.

Some people aren't good to work with others but they work very well as a one-person band. I could always see that in Chris Evans from where I had occasionally sat i.e. in front of my telly. Like Jonathan Ross, he likes to present on his tod and doesn't harmonise well with his co-presenter at all. Ross may be much better otherwise; with his funny haha nature, but Evans looks miserable along with his single-minded attitude.

I used to see a lot of praises of CE's TFI Friday, here on Scoobynet. People used to miss the programme in "Ah...memories!" way and wanted it back on. You lot have changed your tune about him since you checked him out on TG. I can understand why, because I trust what you guys are saying.

I must admit I haven't watched a single TG episode with CE in it. I just have to imagine CE being pretty shyte in it; via your reviews on him.

My only reservation is that Shmee is not a funny man.

May was the straight man to Clarkson, Shmee the straight man to Le Blanc?

Now Ginger Bollox has quit, they need to get rid of Jordan and Sabine. Eddie was just annoying, and she wasn't much better either.

Matt? At first I couldn't stand him on Top Gear, but he has been good in his reviews, and been quite witty in the process. Thought his 911 R review was really good and funny.

Chris Harris is just brilliant. All his reviews have been brilliant with good humour and wit. Plus he's just a brilliant driver.

Rory Reid has had some good reviews too. Enjoyed both his reviews of the Focus RS and Mustang.

So there we have it then. 3 Blokes, all of which are good at reviewing cars, with good humour thrown in for good measure. I just think they should leave the silly challenges alone, and do there own thing. Leave the silly stuff to Clarkson and the boys.

Completely agree on those 3 to host it. That would be my choice too. Sure the producers will **** that decision up too!

He's currently 2nd on the Redbull poll.

It's pointless to resist his appeal.

Top Gear could be career suicide for him.
