Car reviewers who are unfairly maligned...or praised?

This segment has a whole bunch of personalities, lemme get your $0.02 opinion. Here's mine

Jethro Bovington
Many ppl love this guy but I don't, something about him grates me, maybe cuz he sometimes has unreasonably scathing reviews just to be different? Or one time drove some Ferrari spider in the pouring rain w the top down for some unknown reason? Or that he looks like a pig? The guy is so contrived, I mean, even his freaking name looks fake. Jethro Tull. Ugh.

Chris Harris
Wow, he can drift. Whoopie-do. Gimme Steve Sutcliffe or Tiff or many others any day. So overrated.

Schmee
This guy has informative reviews, I'm generally fine w his videos but his parting shot w the stretched-out "Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers" is so annoying, like the equivalent of the Dean Scream (actually, much worse, no idea why the 'Scream' was a big deal back in the day, talk about sabotage by media).

Doug Demuro
I'm not expecting to get wicked roadtest reviews from this guy, I know what I'm in for, some car info and sometimes quirky insights. Ya, the guy is definitely unique and awkward but I dunno why he gets hate.
