Race Across the World 2024 part 2!

[OutOfTheHouse]

Second thread about the BBC Series.

I've already paired up dd with Alfie!

I'm not really into TikTok. How do I see these things from Alfie and Owen? I can see photos but not videos or interviews.

Yes me too. Really good read. Thank you.

Alfie was amazing with the kids wasn't he? It felt really genuine

Have caught up with the episodes and the threads! Love all the couples and I don’t mind who wins.

Eugenie & Isobel remind me of friend and her dd who just don’t get along though a bit naughty of E to steal the cab.

Love Stephen and Viv. He’s my age with different health conditions and I’d really struggle.

Alfie & Owen wow what lovely men they have grown into.

Betty and James my heart broke for both of them in that last episode.

Most people have a back story or 2. I have a couple but would share one happily but not the other. Not even on here which is an anonymous forum never mind on tv!

All of the contestants were on This Morning yesterday and Eugenie confirmed there was no stealing of the taxi! Both pairs had booked a taxi. The taxi arrived and was not specifically for anyone. Stephen asked if it was booked for him then went off, other people (not from the programme) were going to claim to the taxi so Eugenie took it herself to stop them. No taxi theft!

In that case, I wish the editing was less ambiguous! I know I'm being manipulated constantly but that bit of editing made me cross and I couldn't appreciate how well they caught up.

@CrossPurposes I agree! A lot of the editing is manipulated for dramatic effect when I'm sure there is plenty of entertainment just from what's already happening.

Why did Isobel feel so bad then?

Exactly, she said that they would have bad karma as a result.

The 4 of them, at least 1 producer per team and all their bags. Not sure 6 in a cab plus bags would work.

I think I am going to have an afternoon nap... it is on until 11.40pm tonight!!

I am very over-invested and can't wait until 9pm.

10:40 to 11:40 is an additional ‘reunion’ programme - I think I might watch that later!

Really looking forward to tonight, I have been doing jobs in between WFH all day so I can give it my complete attention!

I always watch on iplayer. What time does it air on tv?

I am SO looking forward to tonight!! This is the first RATW series that I have watched and I’ve loved it. Although a couple of people have told me the earlier series are better.

I also get to watch the final tonight with my mum who has been loving it too. We watched the first episode together 8 weeks ago when we were on holiday and not watched it together since!

Also looking forward to tonight. Have loved this series. Rooting for the boys to win, or the brother and sister (unlikely though given their budget).

Inexplicably, I have watched all series apart from series 2, so have that to watch after this one.

Series two is the BEST 🥰

Remind me, who was in Series 2?
Was it the one in Canada?

Canada was series 3 I think.

Series 2 was South America.

Ah series 2 is amazing! This one is up there though!

Is it? Thank goodness it’s half term and I don’t have to be up in the morning!
