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!

Josh was flying his hand up in the air before slamming it down on the buzzer, whereas Judith was calmly pressing it with a little tap.

Haven't warmed to Josh at all. Seems to think he's the bee's knees and has the air of the guy in class who'd throw pencils at your head.

I'm quite enjoying this show, the lack of any central coherence is what makes it so gripping, you have no idea what's coming next!!

Does anyone know the Italian square (although I think it was a pentagon) in episode 4 (?), where they were getting clues from the market stall, with the flag etc? Previously Rob told us where they'd been but they've stopped that! So random!

I think it was Palmanova :-)

Judith for the win. What a lovely sibling duo. Josh & Nick so arrogant.

It’s easy to find out where they went on the US series, which has already broadcast. The destinations for the U.K. version seem to be mostly the same but in a different order (although I think the US went to Zurich rather than the Matterhorn). On the US series they stayed in one city for 2 map rooms and they did 2 different cities in one country.

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.

It did occur to me that Josh ought to have faster reaction times - he is a pilot, after all! Any suggestion of "rigging" would presumably have to be taken very seriously though, in a game with such high prize money at stake. 🤔

DS suggested Josh's button not working was his punishment for some people guessing he was the one who moved a fellow competitor's X 250km, further away. It'd be harsh on Nick if that was true though.

The tray game was impossible for Nick to win

I think it was rigged and then Rob ignored them when they buzzed first

Total set up.

Presumably the makers of the programme would have cleared everything with the relevant authorities in advance, so I doubt this is real. That said, if I was a border official expecting a large TV crew through on an otherwise uneventful day, I'd certainly be up for getting on board and having a nose around purely out of curiosity ...😁

NewAgeNewMe · 20/08/2025 18:23

So would I! Going to watch Fortune Hotel tonight (if no football 😬) 🙄

ChompandaGrazia · 20/08/2025 21:02

Checking in.

bizzey · 20/08/2025 21:03

I can't believe I forgot what day it was today !!

Me ..moi ..TV addicted me!!

I am here ...just a bit behind !

bizzey · 20/08/2025 21:04

love Fortune Hotel !! .
No thread about it though ?

ChompandaGrazia · 20/08/2025 21:05

Off and onto another blacked out bus with cameras?

ChompandaGrazia · 20/08/2025 21:05

And, if it was real who was filming from a distance.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 20/08/2025 21:05

I have fallen very far behind with this show, so I hope there is a poster willing to start a new thread when needed. Thanks!

Dalmatian dog poster...clues pointing towards Croatia?

KassandraOfSparta · 20/08/2025 21:05

I cannot believe they think this is a real police station. FFS.

SwedishEdith · 20/08/2025 21:06

This "arrest" is part of the show. No way would the police car about blacked out windows looking out. And the camera in the room.

KassandraOfSparta · 20/08/2025 21:07

Tesla, Dalmatia = Croatia.

bizzey · 20/08/2025 21:08

Ohh Judith is so polite !

placemats · 20/08/2025 21:09

It's the Dalmatian Coast.

KassandraOfSparta · 20/08/2025 21:12

Paul got mixed up = Pula. Which has the big colosseum type structure shown at the beginning.

They'll never get it.

bizzey · 20/08/2025 21:15

Gosh ..Nick is a handsome chap though !

I wouldn’t have got that.
