Anyone planning on watching this?

Rob Brydon hosts as contestants are driven around Europe in a blacked out bus, trying to guess where they are. I’ve seen clips of the US Version, it might be good!

I don’t mind Nick winning tbh.
As long as Josh doesn’t , but he is clever

Ohh my word ! What an episode and what an ending ! 😅.

Well they are still in Italy then .

Border control.

If I hear one more word about Jackie P I'll be blocking the sunshine and not allowing any more hankies - thanks to Judith that we were spared the kisses and cuddles. 🙏

Well done Judith and that was a lovely meet up.💕

That whole episode was totally pointless.

Filler! 😆

Was the police thing real or a set up?

Total set up.

ChompandaGrazia · 14/08/2025 22:25

KassandraOfSparta · 14/08/2025 22:22

Total set up.

I think it was a set up.

So do we think they are going east as opposed to south why Nick thought ?

Can't really stay in Italy ?

You have to go west from Venice only slightly, and then south to continue in Italy. Going east takes you to Slovenia and it's a long journey from Venice to the border. Do they travel overnight?

5foot5 · 14/08/2025 22:30

What I can't get past is how irrationally upset some people are getting that others are treating it as a competition. It is a competition!

Only one person can win £100k (as far as we know). People have to be eliminated for that to work. Surely everyone realises that at some stage they have to play for themselves rather than the "team". Even cuddly Daren is not above a bit of subterfuge and keeping clues to himself

Darens finally worked out how to play the game

He's keeping sober.

Trouble with going south in to the rest of Italy, where do they go next?

I can't believe they aren't going to Spain at some point, so maybe they will skip across the to of Italy, do a stop in the South of France and then in to Spain.

Well indeed!

arlequin · 14/08/2025 22:37

How do they have meals/showers etc? Do they have to leave the bus with those goggles on and go inside somewhere with no windows or writing?

bizzey · 14/08/2025 22:38

Trieste is 2 hours or less from Venice.
Then maybe another 2 hours at the most to the boarder ?.

And exercise / fresh air.

You need to get off a bus occasionally to stretch your legs

Maybe there’s a shower cubicle like the portaloos, or maybe somewhere on the other bus?

bizzey · 14/08/2025 22:40

Actually...map makes it looks like less to get to the boarder .

placemats · 14/08/2025 22:42

I've been in a bus from Holyhead to London with a 30 minute stop. Early 1980s.

bizzey · 14/08/2025 22:44

They must have people to help them with hair and make up .
Saskia' s hair was so pretty tonight.
How did he do that by herself on a cramped double decker bus !

And the clothes .
I doubt Daren thought to himself to pack a dinner suit , on the ...'just in case I might need one ' !!

placemats · 14/08/2025 22:48

Slovenia, like Italy is in the Schengen area. But there's still strict controls, especially on the Italian side. Who knows where they are heading to.

ChompandaGrazia · 14/08/2025 22:49

There must be a place to do hair and make up. Even on a normal day Saskia is very well made up. I think there will be another bus behind them with the production team and a space yo wash, change, do hair, and store all their clothes.

The problem with the police looked to be a border crossing problem to me, so perhaps they are crossing into another country.

Plasticwaste · 15/08/2025 04:54

Enjoyed this episode much more than the others. Maybe they should just scrap the whole boring bus stuff? 😀

Judith looked radiant in that gold dress. Glad some truths are coming home to roost for Team Saskia and Josh. Josh is quite unlikeable, and Saskia, after accusing everyone else of being a "game player", is revealed to be one of the biggest herself.

Delighted to finally meet THE Jackie P! Laughed my head off when Saskia was telling some random Venetian lady, "Are you the famous Jackie P?" 😂

End scene was total pantomime! But I take it to mean they are moving out of the EU? It will only get harder from here!

BestIsWest · 15/08/2025 09:50

I was totally confused by last nights episode so I’ll have to watch the end again.

Briantheguitargod · 15/08/2025 09:52

BlueyNeedsToFuckOff · 14/08/2025 21:34

I really want one of Josh and Saskia to go tonight

they are both very full of themselves and sly.

ChompandaGrazia · 15/08/2025 10:32

I wonder if Josh and Nick have looked back and realised how silly the sounded with their disbelief that the others could possibly be quicker than them to the button.
