beautifully put, I agree with everything you say.
In a time when celebrity relationships often seem to be shallow, short lived and performative, and where in the media we’re constantly hearing about misogyny, coercive and toxic relationships, it was so refreshing to see Molly and Tyler. They came across as so respectful of each other and others, totally authentic, grounded and lots of fun. They’re great role models for young people.
Harley Moon and Roman…. Lovely to see them reconnecting, especially as it wasn’t coming from a place of any dramatic fall out, it just felt like their lives had gone in different directions and this journey gave them the time and space to really talk openly to each other. Watching them I felt they must have had a really loving, supportive upbringing which isn’t always the case with celebrity parents.
Bal and Anita - what a fantastic dad he is. Not pushy or outspoken but clearly had a dogged determination to stick to his true values, celebrating his daughter from the moment she was born, despite the cultural prejudice against daughters. He simply supported her to aim high and live her life in the way she wanted.
dylan and Jackie… I felt disappointed at first when they dropped out but actually they’d got what they needed to from the experience and the journey had clearly taken its toll on Jackie. I’m glad they won one leg of the race and were able to stop and relax when they felt they’d reached their limit.
Wonderful series.
