Please tell me I didn't just watch them spend three days wasting all that fish that could have fed so many people. And in the end, they did nothing for the people in the village. The only people they helped were the ones they originally bought the fish from. This is the first time I've been disappointed in the Grand Tour guys.

And I don't expect these guys to be sensitive and sincere in their efforts, they always fail intentionally. However,this time it was not entertaining at all. The whole episode was monotonous. In previous specials, they usually did a more variety of things, there interaction with people other than themselves, a change in scenery. This was just the three talking to each other on a 200 mile trip, which was forcefully extended to seem entertaining.

... View MoreI can see why the rating of this episode is so low. It's not because the episode itself is bad, it's a very typical "special" episode, feels much like old Top Gear special episodes, it's all in one piece, no guests, reviews or studio scenes. In fact it's the most "Top Geary" of all TGT episodes so far in terms of how it was filmed and how it felt to watch. What is bad is the fact that they approach a topic of a country being incredibly poor and people in it starving with an overly silly approach, almost mocking the misfortune of the people indirectly, because they've wasted enough food to feed a 50 people during this episode. It also contains multiple scenes of what some people might consider to be "fish abuse", if you like. Of course, catching fish, killing it, eating it, etc. is a part of nature, as harsh as it may be, especially in parts of the world where people are desperately trying to survive, so expecting a "humane" approach from them is less than realistic. Overall it's a pretty good episode, as long as you approach it knowing that it's going to have things in it that some people might find offensive or repulsive, consider it a more serious episode, a sort of mockocumentary dealing with problems of poverty, lack of food, lack of infrastructure, etc.
