I liked Isobel so much at the beginning, but now I just feel like her criticism of Eugenie is becoming ridiculous when she herself isn’t communicating well. She’s got no business moaning about her mum’s poor communication when every time she’s asked to be clear, she clams up. They’ve clearly got deep rooted issues and I do sympathise, but you really can’t criticize someone and then do the exact same thing on repeat. Isobel has lots of skills, and pretty much feel that her mum isn’t massively acknowledging that (or didn’t before the trip) you can feel the hurt coming off Isobel in waves, but again, communicating it terribly.
Stephen and Viv, meh! The stroke story was upsetting, you feel for Viv obviously it was awful, but S response to it was I don’t know, an oddness to it.
Betty and James are alright. They’ve been kind and fair to one another for the most part, I’d be proud of them if they were my kids. A bit uneventful, I guess, not much jeopardy or substance.
The boys I’ve warmed to, but then they’re going back into the slightly hysterical mode of getting upset about where they are in the race. Fucksake they’re enjoying themselves and not at all far behind, they’re too uptight for me it’s annoying. I feel so irritated when people aren’t throwing themselves into it as an experience, when the amount of money they’d win isn't the most life changing amount, and there’s no elimination. Enjoy it whilst racing. Wherever you are in the race, you’ve gone as quick as you can and enjoyed yourself along the way, what’s the point of getting all moody?
