The new US 'Top Gear' (Sun., 10PM on HIST) is just getting started, having premiered just last month. So when Michelle Rodriguez took to the track, she didn't have a lot of celebrities times to worry about trying to beat yet. So how'd she do?"Why do I look so angry?" she asked while watching the playback of her race. On a wet track, she feared the worst while driving. "I almost flipped that sucker," she admitted at one time.
Rodriguez spotlighted a few more of her concentration expressions to everyone's amusement, before the final results were revealed. "Apparently you're chewing tobacco while you drive," she was told, though she thought it looked more like she was chewing gum. We think she was remembering a particularly spoiled glass of milk she'd swallowed.
In the end, she finished second-to-last, just above Buzz Aldrin, though some leeway should be considered for how wet the track was. Maybe she'll get a chance to come back on the show during better conditions and redeem herself. Or face Aldrin head-to-head in a "Loser Takes Last" battle!
