RACE ACROSS THE WORLD 2024

[TokyoSushi]

Just seen my first advert that it's back!!!! Japan to Indonesia starting 10th April, brilliant, my absolute favourite!

That makes sense.
IIRC they usually plan the routes further on with bottle necks of "one train a week" or whatever, so they don't want people getting too far behind early on either.

Remember how they ended up having to get the same train to the Arctic in Canada?

I can see why they do eliminate one pair, they need to keep the race element of it intact the whole way.
In the Canada series they eliminated the two brothers. One was quite anxious and a worrier and I would have been interested to see him complete the full race to see if he managed to overcome this.

Agree that Isabel is fab and her mum is very negative towards her. Lots of little digs.
I like the two boys. Bridie and her mum starting to annoy me a bit not sure why.

Caught up last night

Eugenie (the mum? ) is starting to annoy me but I like Isobel

Stephen is really annoying me now and is coming across as really ignorant

The two lads a were better this week

I want to go to the penis park 😁😁😁

Agree, Isabel is fabulous and her mother constantly undermines her. “OhIsobel, stop being so organised” – it’s normally the other way round in a mother-Daughter relationship. Sits oddly. Brydie lot don’t do it for me at all

It's all bleeped out. I noticed a lot of bleeping when they were under pressure.

Apart from the celeb one is this is the first series to have mother daughter racers?

Watched episode 2 today.

The boys are growing on me. Penis park must’ve been an experience!
Still love Isobel. I like the mum too.

Im finding it fascinating how the women seem to be working well into their 80s and seem v serene.

Penis park 🤣 couldn't believe that!

I don't mind the relationship stuff on this programme.
It's not done in a cheesy forced way

My DD is going on holiday to South Korea soon. A lot of her friends and colleagues in Japan have already been. She proudly told me that a visit to Penis Park is definitely on her itinerary!

I wonder if the Penis Park is going to have an uptick in foreign visitors after this series 🤣

It's on DS (11's) bucket list now 😂

Does anyone know why they had to skip the China leg? Did China decide they weren't going to allow the filming or something?

Aren’t they allowed to buy a new map?

Oh dear, friction between Isabel and mum…..quite hard to be a vegetarian in those social situations, I'd think.

God lord Steve is a dick. Shouting at the bus driver like that.

I’m really hoping Steve gets eliminated tonight

Alfie's story is heartbreaking

I'm in bits for him.

It seems not.

Genuine tears here for Alfie’s story.

I am really not interested in all the backstories

Alfie 💔

The way he was flushing with stress and emotion as he told his mum's story was heartbreaking.

And her. Making that memory box, there aren’t the words.
