Race Across The World - Series 3 - The Final!

[LindorDoubleChoc]

I've started a new thread already in case I forget to do it. Might not be needed but I think there's only about 50 posts left on the old thread. Shall we say we'll start posting on this one from tomorrow (Friday 5th) ?

But to be fair I don’t really mind who wins.

I can't wait! Monique and Ladi to win for me. I have really enjoyed watching their relationship.

I think M &L win by the amount of travelling Moniques been doing lately. Must have come into some money😊

Isn’t the end always somewhere not accessible by car? It’s usually a book on a stand halfway up a hill or something, isn’t it?

I like Monique & Ladi; she seems to have grown a lot and her Dad is lovely. I also think M & Z are worthy winners, though, they’ve really put themselves out there to work and get involved in peoples lives; and their infertility journey must have been tough.

She does model for Vogue, which I’d imagine pays okay and includes some travel!

Given that the finish is on an island and the ferries probably only run once or twice a day, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they all end up on the same one.

So all miss the last ferry and then have to negotiate some other travel means?

Who looks like being a good swimmer pair?😀

I’d like Monique and Ladi to win but will be happy with Zainib and Mobeen as they’ve really grown on me and have had the best experiences.

I can’t stand Cathie and Tricia.

I think there comes a point where getting that many "lucky breaks" is about how they put themselves out there and relate to other people.

M&L for me.
Zainab and Mobeen next.

I don’t have any issue with Cathy and Tricia, but I do think being 2 women they’ve had an easier go at it. They’ve already admitted people pick them up easier as they are 2 women.

Monique and Ladi broke my heart last week when the were talking about their hitchhiking experiences and how people were different towards them and how they were finding it harder to find someone to help them.

I‘ve not loved this series as much as the first 2, mostly because it‘s just one country (although beautiful) and because of how hard it is to get transport, which means they have to hitchhike all the time and often end up on the same ferry/train etc because there are so few of them. It makes it a bit less interesting to watch I think.

The first series had so much more scope for different routes through different countries and I absolutely loved finding out about places like Azerbaijan or Peru and the contestants had far more choices in terms of transport choices.

I‘m happy for any of them to win, but I‘m probably slightly leaning towards Monique and Ladi because I think Ladi in particular comes across as such a nice guy, but also because I really felt for them in last week‘s episode when they were trying to get a lift and people were clearly making assumptions about them that they perhaps wouldn‘t have made about Trisha and Cathie for example. That must have been so demoralizing.

Can‘t wait for the final!

Cathy and tricia are the pair I would least like to win, but are the pair that probably will.
I have found it quite boring really, apart from last weeks episode and will quite miss Kevin and his daughter(can't remember her name)
I have only carried on watching because my partner wanted to.
It's just hitch hiking and bus journeys through similar(though lovely)looking country.
Liked Amber last week
Want mobeen and zainib to win 🏆

Can’t wait for the final! I’ve been to Canada but only to St John’s in Newfoundland where they are going. I reckon that they will end up at Cabot Tower on Signal Hill - it’s where Marconi received the first transatlantic radio signal!

Cathie and Tricia to win here as I feel they lost out on thier lead and have worked hard in various jobs and think that it must be incredibly hard to face losing your sight, the thought terrifies me. After that dont mind as I like all the remaining teams too.

Looking forward to the final.
Don't care who wins as long as it's not Cathy and Tricia. Haven't really warmed to them. I have wondered if COVID had a lot to do with this series and where it could be filmed.

Bump

Still anyone's game

Blimey, ive been RATW thread hopping all over the place, feels like im in the race

Posted other thread but I reckon Monique and Ladi's home stay was set up as said it was their "first one", as though they all have to do one. Maybe.

I'd love to be on that empty ferry. I bet it'll be a risk too far but I'd want to be moving as well. Hate waiting to set off, always just want to be on the road.

If K&T can hire a car t’other end, I assume they will have it with that decision?

Argh!

I was thinking that but looks like it mustn't be an option

I mean they've all done something impressive by putting up with the same person 1:1 50 days friendships and relationships have been destroyed by shorter holidays
