Rucksacks ready....!

Alex is 42, he so needs to grow up!

Oh great they got the boat

😂there’s a baby in the bus!

42. It’s like he is 4

Does anyone know how it's filmed? How did Harry and his mum fit in that mini if there was a cameraman?

Bonnie - what a supportive sister! Carrying the bags, keeping her brother in check. I love her!

I love Henry and billie the best. She don’t patronise him but vet supportive

Yeah I love her. Really want her and Billy to win. And for Alex to go home!

I want Billy and bonnie to win as well.

Thanks for pointing me to this tonight. Really enjoyed it. Nice group of people although Alex would severely test my patience.

Alex has been a proper prat tonight.

Billy and Bonnie are coming across as both resourceful and resilient (and very likeable).

Alex … doesn’t like change, or noise, or going off plan, anxious. Hmmm.

Alex is a feckin man child. I feel sorry for his poor dad

*Bonny (I can’t spell 🙄)

Alex is really annoying.

I’d also prefer to see and hear more about the locations and less about the buses / trains and their backstories

Alex started off with a lot of goodwill from me because of the Piers Morgan episode, but he's burning through it.

Mel needs to grow up and Alex is clearly on the spectrum. Billy and Bonnie are impressive people

Thought same. Amazed he has a child and is married,

His wife will be enjoying the break

Alex is clearly on the spectrum

Yup.

I was worried about Billy's stumps (I'm a nurse) I hope they have medical people around to give advice.

If the skin on his stumps gets sore or breaks down it could be really bad for him.

I hope Billy and Bonnie win. They’re streaks ahead of the other so called celebrities. Maybe not in distance yet but hopefully they’ll catch up with that. In every way that matters they’re just lovely.

Alex seems to suffer from anxiety. I like how Mel is being very open about her insecurities. The siblings are great. All the parents are fab in their own way.

I really like them all. Mel's self critical voice makes me so sad for her but I loved how she came into her stride doing the physical work. Her whole face lit up.

Bonny I think is probably dealing with unprocessed trauma about her brother. She is extremely capable but you see these moments of pure dark play-it-forwards crisis planning when his physical limits are apparent. She shoulders a lot.

Yep, agree.

The octopus thing was funny for the dad's reaction but come on, Alex was clearly physically struggling with that and he wasn't doing it to be princessy. I did think that if you have a phobia of seafood then octopus is a bit of a bloody full on item to have in front of you. It would be like taking someone with a fear of heights to the top of the shard.
