It was clear? I assumed it would die a graceful death as those three
clearly made the show work. Without them it's unlikely to last very
long much like the Top Gear USA.
Though I'm sure having Spiderman (Tom Holland) on the show will help
draw people in. The Bourgeois guy seems to be Internet famous which
means only a small (but possibly large) portion of the potential
viewers know of him. Engelsman seems to be the actual car guy but
from Canada, unlike the other two who are from England.

Apparently not that popular as I've been following various car review
channels for years and never heard THROTTLE HOUSE.
