Race Across The World Series 5 Thread 2

[TwentyKittens]

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:

Yes the never make a decision thing was so weird.

I love this episode, I’d really like Fin & Sioned to win!

Does any one else find it very annoying how Thomas's mum keeps saying Thomas every time she talks to him.

It's still the brothers for me. I really want them to win.

Maybe Tom‘s mum will stay in India and not go home!

Another episode showing more scenery - sure editing has gone on since reading here.

It’s the brothers for me too. I’m desperate for them to get to the end and have a proper hug

Her husband must be a bully? What’s she on about always having to put the family first? One child at boarding school. She means her husband first. I’ve no clue who I want to win.

If they chop any slower I’m going to jump in the tv and do it for them

Yep!

I don’t have a sob story so I know I’d never be picked.

They can turn anything in to a sob story. Apparently 'i haven't had to work for 20 years' is a sob story and 'we gree up in Wales and haven't been anywhere else' 😂

They seem to be missing chunks out - I wanted to see the ferry and the brothers’ accommodation on it but we saw them board and then they appeared on a bus. Also didn’t see what they were paid for serving tea - I imagine the local rate is very low. Far more interested in that than the talking heads.

She’s going to terrify him into a one way ticket to Australia

I think they said it was about £11 for the tea serving.
The ferry was only 4 hours so they wouldn't have accommodation.

Despite him being so posh, he can barely enunciate properly, I'm finding Tom adorable now.

Fin and Sioned's evening was very sweet there - one of those magical memories from travelling.

Sorry that was for @Tourist29

Bet that biryani was delicious 😋

Surely the final edit was done ages ago and can't be further edited to suit randoms on a discussion forum...can anyone in the TV world confirm?

I think fin and Sioned will run out of money.

That is a very nice hotel

I'm sorry for the brothers I wanted them to come first and they are a very long way behind

That was a shock!

Sweet touch to Sam Gardiner . Well done production team for putting it there.

So sad about Sam. There was so much warmth to his and Jo's relationship and it was one of the most memorable rapports across the series since the start.

I'm glad Letitia is relaxing and letting down the wall that she's held since the start, and presumably since being a teenager.

It's good watching Thomas relax and find more ease in himself too.

Sionedd and Fin seem to have found their flow (intro to India via Varanasi is indeed intense) but their budget is concerning.

Brian and Melvin remain my favourites. I hope they can catch back up.

Gutted dont think the brother will win now. If not Fin and Sioned to win for me.

I cannot understand how only 1 of them have had the shits on this trip. Everyone I know who has been to India got the shits at some point!
