Don't get the hate for that episode. It was solid.
The studio segments are rough as it's almost like they're reading a prompter but I think once they get the flow of things and build some chemistry I think it'll improve. The challenge was good and had funny moments ("What do you think he's got?" "Some mental issue probably" made me laugh harder than anything I can remember from Grand Tour) and I could see this whole having the celebrity for the entire episode thing being decent if it's able to mimic something similar to the Graham Norton show where they kinda just shoot the sh*t.
Top Gear US was brutal in terms of chemistry between the hosts for the first bit and then they really were great together in the last 4 seasons. I actually wish they just brought the Top Gear US guys over. Could've jump started the new generation of Top Gear with guys that already have 6 seasons worth of rapport together.
