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) ?

Page 38 | Race Across The World - Series 3 | Mumsnet

This starts Wednesday week on BBC1 (22 March). Anyone want to join me on a thread about it? I saw some episodes of the previous two series but didn'...

If M&L were first off the ferry, how did they end up after Z&M?

Kevin arriving in a TAXI

Z&M were in the car taking them all the way to the final location. M&L had to switch to a cab.

Sorry to hog the thread, but have had to laugh that the first we see of Kevin in the reunion is getting out of a taxi Grin

SoupDragon · 10/05/2023 22:45

I'm going to watch the Reunion on catch-up tomorrow.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/05/2023 22:46

It's nice they all seem to genuinely like each other - no beef

Imisscoffee2021 · 10/05/2023 22:48

@MNbingo Your logic isn't sound I'm afraid. The invasive procedures come from a place of wanting to have a child, as much a biological pull as it is for couples who try to and then conceive naturally. Just because adoption is altruistic, doesn't put IVF at the opposite end of the spectrum as narcissistic. IVF isn't altruistic like adoption but if you think it's narcissistic, you don't understand the meaning of the word. Unfortunately you have no experience of any of those three options so aren't best qualified. Get back to RATW all you like but happy to retort to this foolishness all day 👍

I'm watching the Reunion programme on BBC1 now. 🌹

They have just closed the application process for the next series. It is being filmed in the autumn so not a Celeb version.

Really glad the ladies won in the end. Flying the flag for the perimenopausal woman!!
I would’ve been happy w any of the 3 - not keen on seeing a sleb version though. What kind about this is they’re normal
people taking part.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/05/2023 22:59

MEANWHILE

Some of this extra footage is really good

TheFireflies · 10/05/2023 23:01

I really wish they hadn’t eliminated the brothers.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/05/2023 23:01

Yeah they needed the experience as well

Imisscoffee2021 · 10/05/2023 23:03

@MNbingo You'd have to answer that tbh, as the person who made the claim in the first place. Unless you think having a biological child by any means, natural too, is a narcissistic act, then accessing a scientific procedure to increase the likelihood simply isn't. This goes for the other myriad ways people work to improve their fertility like IUI, laparoscopic procedures to reduce endo, varicocele procedures, microtese. Comparing a boob job to having a child via IVF though, not much of an argument there as the basis is so flawed.

SwedishEdith · 10/05/2023 23:04

I'm enjoying the reunion. The brothers - wish they'd stayed.

Re celebs travel programmes, I do actually enjoy the pilgrim ones so if it can be like that with non-stupid people, it might be okay.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/05/2023 23:05

Can this conversation take place on another thread instead of ruining this one?

Imisscoffee2021 · 10/05/2023 23:10

Yeah apologies ppl, I joined to talk RATW too, love this show! And I don't usually reply to posts ever on here but that one was a bit too incendiary and insensitive, as the many blocking posts show.
Interested to hear some.behind the scenes info on the reunion when I catch up tomorrow, this series I found a few gaps in editing and wonder if they absolutely had to do the fun stuff per episode.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/05/2023 23:17

"we smashed it, we came first 3/4 times"

THANKS TO SPUNKING YOUR BUDGET ON TAXIS

Came first 3/4 times thanks to utter stupidity more like

Rummikub · 10/05/2023 23:19

Why were the brothers eliminated?

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I loved the first 2 series. And I’ll happily watch a celeb version until the next proper version.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/05/2023 23:21

There was a (really unnecessary actually) elimination leg. I think every series has had one.
