Re: Fandom Rants

So, Clarkson, Hammond & May (formerly top gear hosts) have finally announced the name of their new Amazon show.

The Grand Tour.

Stupidest name for a car show ever. It sounds like they're doing a 19th century travelogue. Or a travelogue being hosted by old ladies. Idon't keep up with the former tg fandom but I'm sure they love it.

Just realised GT is the reverse of TG. Although technically, it will be TGT. God I hope thats not why they chose it.

I don't know about the fandom, but I thought it was a good name. It sounds a lot less obnoxiously testosterone-filled than "Top Gear" and it works on different levels. First, as you mentioned, it refers to the tradition of wealthy upper class young men doing a tour of Europe as a finishing off of their education and a rite of passage of sorts, so it evokes world travel. Entirely apropos. It also reminds one of a "touring car", so there's the link with cars and racing in particular. Actually I think it'd be a challenge to think of a more appropriate name for the show that was still relatively concise.

Oh god, you're a Clarkson fan, aren't you?

Evokes world travel? Yeah. Okaaayyy. Because soooo many people today are even aware of the touring traditions of wealthy young men (and tbh, I was actually thinking about young women travelling) back in the day. And I have to say bwuh? to the name Top Gear being testoserone filled (pretty sure Sabine Schmitz might disagree). Egotistical, perhaps.

OMG, touring car? Pretty sure only my grandparents generation would even recognize that term. This is a world wide show that needs a name that's going to appeal world wide. If this was a brand new show with new hosts, "The Grand Tour" wouldn't've been considered, at least not seriously.

I don't think it'd be that much of a challenge to think up a more energetic name that doesn't use the initials TG/GT and that is also concise.
