i thought Alex father was a bit hard work

PuppyMonkey · 05/10/2023 08:48

Alex seemed a lot more chill this episode. I’m sure the production team must “suggest” they do these experiences to have a bit of something interesting to film.

We were wondering if each couple gets their own personalised “work experience” booklet?

I wonder this because otherwise they could be going for the same job. And how do they contact them without a phone?
Does anyone know what the time difference was between the teams at the end last night?

Show quote history

I assumed the jobs were set up through the production crew - they’ve obviously got at least one camera person with them, so they could check in with the others to avoid duplication.

I laughed when Alex said he did two jobs to make ends meet and his dad said "What do you mean, you were living at home and never paid any keep."

That DID make me laugh - I do really like what I've seen of Noel, who seems very down to Earth. And it certainly quietened Alex down for a bit! 🌹

I would love to see a "behind the scenes" - especially with the camera crew. Do they do retakes? When they get lifts, what happens to the camera crew?

dahliaaa · 05/10/2023 22:06

I've met Billy. He is incredible. Brave, charming, kind. Really lovely.

I'd pay to do a behind the scenes tour!

Last night when Mel and Helene were trying to find her friend in Nice . Did the camera crew have somewhere to stay? I saw they seemed to be folllowing the taxi. Did they have a hotel to go to as well? Or did they all crash at the same place ?

When Alex and his dad were staying in that small room? What about the camera crew?

Logistically interesting. Do the camera crew have some nice food on the ferry whilst the celebrities try to save money?

(I know this goes for the other Race across the world series as well)

lightinthebox · 06/10/2023 02:59

I was watching Mel & Helene and kept thinking they spent on a taxi traveling the streets the money they saved not going to a hotel!

Bankholidayboredom23 · 06/10/2023 07:40

I don't think it was a taxi as it had a learner plate on it, so I presume someone was driving them around for free.

I thought the same so if it was a leaner driver they were very kind!

Is it just me who reads that article and wants the show following the poor production assistant/researchers who have to do the whole thing on the budget, without the back up of camera crew, security team, and specifically finding the tricky bits...

I thought that too

Sarajevo next, so effectively going backwards. Interesting!

Maireas · 09/10/2023 14:55

I am full of admiration for Bonnie, who manages to maintain perfectly straightened hair, long polished nails, and full make up including false eyelashes throughout the journey!

Maireas · 09/10/2023 14:56

I do like Harry and his Mum Emma, they have such a nice relationship. I was also moved by Mel and Helene, and the story of Mel's scoliosis.

No wonder her backpack is so huge!

I think she is a make up artist though?

Maireas · 09/10/2023 18:44

Yes, she is. I'm just impressed by how flawless she looks while doing all this travelling!

Can you imagine - the crew are there, tucking into Steak and chips, while Harry and Emma are sharing 3 ritz crackers 😁
That would seem so mean 😂

Do they have the opportunity to get nails, hair etc done at the checkpoint hotels?

Really? They are backpacking round the world, on the cheap, and you think they should get their hair and nails "done" 😁

I don't even get my hair and nails "done" when I'm at home.
