With only five posts left on the old thread, thought I'd start this so we can link between the two.

This thread carries on from the first:

I'm starting to wonder if the "race" in the trailer was between 3rd and 4th place 😂

Oh good lord I’m a bit sick of the banging on about sad housewifery

TokyoSushi · 11/06/2025 21:19

Good grief 🫠🫠🫠

I’m sick to death of Caroline and her whinging about her age. I’m the same age as her. I’m not old. She’s driving me fucking nuts.

TokyoSushi · 11/06/2025 21:19

Yes, not sure why they’re just sitting there for 24 hours with the most budget - get a bloody taxi!!

scissy · 11/06/2025 21:19

DD is like "stop with the wishy washy, more chop chop". I couldn't agree more. More race please 🙄

MrsLargeEmbodied · 11/06/2025 21:20

I am going to race the world after that reading by Tom, see who will come with me

I'm 10 years older than her and she's really getting on my tits.

jan2310 · 11/06/2025 21:21

We don’t see them racing any more. Just sitting around talking…..

CaptBirdsEar · 11/06/2025 21:23

I hope the boys don’t run out of money

Justasmallgless · 11/06/2025 21:23

I think they are trying to portray them similarly to Jo and Sam.
Who are a completely different couple. As someone in Caroline’s age bracket she just annoys me with her patheticness (is that a word?)

Wolfcub · 11/06/2025 21:23

I would love to go to kerala

JaquiRussell · 11/06/2025 21:24

I'd love to see Sioned and Fin win as she utterly adores him and I hope it's secured his faith in their future.
But the amount of footage with Caroline and Tom for the past couple of weeks is so ridiculous it makes me feel they will

Noooo

I don’t want them to win

MaidenGarret · 11/06/2025 21:24

Rooting for Fin and Seonaid to win, such a cute couple and then Melvin and Bryan, come on … !

Arrestedforit · 11/06/2025 21:25

Caroline is such a fraud. She’s a prize winning eventer and has been bank rolled for years. She’s been a sahm bringing up only one very average and boring child.
I really hope they don’t win this.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 11/06/2025 21:26

But Caroline feels anxious for the future at her age it is real

Arrestedforit · 11/06/2025 21:26

She’s brought out the worst in me!

Such a nasty post , they are trying to win a race not committing mass murder.

And it’s been explained repeatedly that the programme maker set the narrative.

CaptBirdsEar · 11/06/2025 21:29

Love how the Indians always want to help the competitors - it was something I loved when in India. Also they’d want a photo of us together to show their family ‘my English friend’

Jellykat · 11/06/2025 21:29

Seems pretty unanimous here and with everyone i know watching in RL, Fin and Sioned for the win < fingers crossed >
